    Best restaurant in NOLA. The service is outstanding from the hostess to the waitstaff, especially Felix our server. All of the staff were welcoming and kind. Warm biscuits are the best and all of the seafood was divine. Lobster dumplings, Scalibut and Snapper were beautifully prepared. Warm white chocolate bread pudding was a rich and decadent finale. They even commemorated our anniversary with a special menu and a mini chocolate mousse bombs. Thank you for a very special evening

    First the service was fantastic. We had a lovely waitress named Yula who was attentive and charming. The atmosphere is welcoming and not too noisy considering the size. Each dish was different and had its own unique flavor palette. I had the BBQ shrimp and was advised ahead of time that it was with heads and tails and unpeeled. That being said, it was so worth it and delicious and different. Everyone in our party of 6 was pleased with their meals. Will definitely return next time I’m in NoLo.
