    The high ceilings and acoustics make for a very noisy room. Service was slow and uneven. Food came out before wine, bread came after salads, and food - duck, fish with crawfish - was subpar. Overall an underwhelming experience. There are so many Creole restaurants in New Orleans, there is no need to choose this one.

    We had a party of seven in the bar and it was overall nice because you could look out the windows, but we have a very noisy table next to us. The waitress was overworked and we know most restaurants they are shorthanded. The food in general was good.

    Great ambience, food and service. Highly professional staff. The 3 and 4 course dinners are a good value and offer a nice variety; for a few dollars extra, you can "upgrade" to different things. Extensive wine by the bottle list, nice cocktails. I would definitely go again.
