About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Romantic
August is a Contemporary Creole restaurant creating unique dishes with a focus on Louisiana ingredients and inspired by classical training. Located in a historic 19th century French-Creole building in New Orleans’ Central Business District, the main dining room caters to the most unique dining experience. The interior is rich with original architectural details, gleaming hardwood floors, soaring columns, mahogany paneling and antique mirrors.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Corey Thomas

From the OpenTable editors: August remains the flagship restaurant within the BRG Hospitality group, and it’s a grande dame dining room of New Orleans. The building rose tall in the 1830s, and the elegant space features mahogany panels and antique mirrors. The modern Creole menu offers a chef’s tasting in seven courses, from red snapper crudo to lavender panna cotta. The team also has a reputation for impeccable service, earning a couple of James Beard nominations in the past decade.

    Ho prenotato per festeggiare il compleanno, mi aspettavo una super cena vista la descrizione sul sito, ed invece una delusione enorme, anche se l’ambiente è accogliente e i camerieri gentili. Pietanze minuscole. Abbiamo preso il tonno e gli gnocchi come antipasto e il dentice da dividere. Hanno capito che avremmo diviso tutto. Quindi arriva il tonno, quasi subito dopo l’ordinazione e dopo che mi vedono in attesa da 5 minuti, mi portano due piattini per dividere il tonno. Spiego che attendevo l’altro piatto e non dovevamo dividere, allora si scusano e immediatamente portano il piatto di gnocchi (sicuramente già impiattato da un po’) Arrivano 4 gnocchi scotti, che per un italiano credo sia un affronto. Il dentice invece arriva diviso in due piatti, una torretta triste, con colori spenti e in pratica tutto come fosse bollito, sia il pesce, che i funghi avevano lo stesso sapore, non sapevano di niente. Buona la presentazione del cesto del pane. In più nelle note avevo indicato appunto che festeggiavamo il compleanno, mi aspettavo una piccola pasticceria come tutti i ristoranti di livello con Executive Chef con una candelina…invece ci hanno portato la lista dei dolci, uno peggio dell’altro e non abbiamo preso nulla solo il caffè per uscire il prima possibile. Chiediamo il conto e ci avviciniamo alla cassa e facendo gli auguri ci danno una scatolina regalo con dei biscotti tristi pure quelli. Mi spiace ma pessima esperienza, anche perché siamo andati in ristoranti in New Orleans molto meno quotati ed abbiamo mangiato molto bene.

    August was simply amazing! Every bite was delicious and the service was excellent. I also loved the historic building it is located in. We were situated in a romantic room with candles in the tables. Highly recommend for a top notch meal. We will return.
