We showed up an hour early and they were able to accommodate our party of five. We started off with the skewers appetizer which everyone enjoyed. Here's a tip, you're not supposed to eat the actual sugar cane skewer, only the sausage. They were excellent. Personally, I had the lamb chops and they were delicious. The portion was generous and I could not finish all the sides that came with it. I tried their bourbon after dinner and enjoyed it as well. The cost of our meal was not excessive and I believe we got great value for what we received. Oh, and the service was great too. I will highly recommend Lula to my friends.

The joy that comes with dining is beyond explanation. The beautiful for one to see as the building is aesthetically, pleasing or outside the view of the greens , the food that burst with flavor and mix of colors and textures. Or could it be the attentive staff ! The entire experience is outstanding.

Very cool new place downtown. Steak was amazing and cooked perfectly. Same with the empanadas. The staff was very nice. The only negative was the bar staff couldn’t make a Martini without using bottom shelf Vodka (Tito’s) because their martinis are pre-mixed. Despite that we will definitely come back!

Five ladies dined at M bistro on a Thursday evening. Dining room has leather chairs and wood floors under a huge skylight with the elegant and rich-looking decor. The place was not pompous, but warm and inviting. Perfect for a lively group of friends or a couple wanting a quiet, special evening. There was a jazz ensemble playing in the lounge, but the music added to the atmosphere rather than distract from it. The service was impeccable, attentive, and cordial. Special seasonal cocktails are created in house and were well-crafted and delicious. Beet salad was one of the best with thin cut beets topped with greens and an amazing sauce. I Shrimp and grits We sampled main courses of fish of the day,

    Everything at N7 is perfect. The vibes, the food, the service. My friends and I were having a rough morning because our flight home was seriously delayed but we couldn’t even stay upset when our server brought our food to the table because it was just that good. We got mussels, the French omlette, the chicken sandwich, the best fries I’ve ever had and two perfect desserts. We only wish the weather had been nice so we could’ve gotten to sit in the beautiful patio. We’ll definitely be back next time we visit NOLA.
