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.
Eater: New chef Guy Reinbolt creates Louisiana-inspired French/International cuisine and the swanky, new Empire Bar— manned by Paul Gustings— turns out pre-prohibition classics and modern craft cocktails.
Food Network: Local seafood shines here, especially in the bouillabaisse. It brims with tender fruits de mer in a robust saffron-tomato broth. Via CityEats.com Read more.
Rachel Kuta: Best truffle Fries ever.. With black Pepper.

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
George Hero: Get the duck !
