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.

Eating here is an excellent experience - the service team is wonderful and each dish is crafted with so much style, flavor, and love. It can get a little noisy depending on how many people are there, but it's a reasonable noise level to expect in a busy restaurant. Fun fact - we saw someone ironing the tablecloths when preparing the tables! It's their attention to detail that shows how much they care and make sure you have an amazing meal.

The snapper was the only entree we ever ordered that wasn’t good. Tasted like mushy cardboard. The other dishes were wonderful as always. Special kudos to the foie gras with brioche.

We had the réveillion with wine pairing, and we all enjoyed every course. The flavors and attention to detail were amazing! Very pricey but a wonderful and memorable experience! The service is amazing too and we liked that the noise level allowed us to have enjoyable conversation, which often isn’t the case in New Orleans.

My husband and I had a great time! Really felt like a Michelin Star restaurant. We had heard great things about the restaurant from many people during our visit to NOLA. Everyone at the Four Seasons highly recommended it. Will be back again :) the atmosphere was beautiful and the dinner felt very intimate. They were willing to accommodate my husbands shellfish allergy even with a set and limited menu.

Another amazing meal and experience at August! The Thanksgiving Pre Fixe menu was to die for. The best gnocchi I've ever tasted. One of my favorite restaurants in the country!

Everything was wonderful as usual. This was our 4th Thanksgiving with August. The noise level was a problem this year because of one of the larger tables in the room where we were seated. One could tell by the looks on other’s faces in the room that no one was pleased at having their Thanksgiving dinner compromised by the bad behavior of a small group of people. I understand that the restaurant cannot control the guests, but it was extremely annoying. Everyone was relieved when the table departed.
