David Schwartz: Great menu, great service and an all-around great find. They revitalized this former legendary New Orleans Favorite. You must try the Gulf Fish Almandine and get some Raw Oysters while you are at it.
Eater: Chef Drew Lockett cooks impressive rustic bistro fare, and a wealth of raw bar options that dazzle. Also, they're open until midnight, Wednesday-Saturday.
Abigail Gullo: Steve is an amazing bartender. I have yet to even see the dining room, but both my experiences at the bar have been divine. My rabbit was delicious as was the savory sage pain perdu.

Jasmine 💫: If you can look pass the elitist host service, the food is actually delicious. Tried the Penne, paired with grilled shrimp. Also, enjoyed the Duck and Cioppino.
Amanda L: Get crabmeat sardou. Ask for sauteed instead of cream spinach. It is amazing

Alexa Bollinger: Awesome lobster entree. Filet was fabulous too! Crab and shrimp cakes great as well as the oysters. House bread is phenomenal! Banana Creme Brule was amazing too!
Kyle Villyard: CRAB AND CORN BISQUE, LUMP CRABMEAT AND SHRIMP CAKES, WHOLE CRISPY FLOUNDER.
Joey Moore: Kimberly was our "server" and gave us what may be the worst service I have ever experienced in NoLa. Bee's Knees was a great cocktail but I was not overly impressed with the food.
M Goldman: Steaks are a must here! Much better than Morton's. Asparagus, deconstructed oyster poboy, pretty much everything is top notch. If you're a scotch and whisky drinker, the selection is 100%!
Sylvia Lewis: Red fish crusted w corn n garlic; chocolate cake w terrific coffee awesome!
Hazel Reidy: Best service I have ever had. The food was amazing. Absolutely wonderful experience!
