Mike WinstonSeptember 16, 2013Really fresh food with New Orleans style flair. Perfect for a date night! Highlights include the Shishito Pepper special, Jambalaya Balls, Greek Fries, and Hanger Steak with Burnt Broccoli. Read more
Andrea HongJanuary 13, 2013Bacon pralines, lemon ricotta toast, mini monte cristos, and priest stranglers to share - all sorts of delish. Oh, and ignore the creepy pirate ship thing on the wall.
Exchange AlleyMay 24, 2013Come check out our #garden Full of #herbs #chili's & "straight to the plate" delectables! Unfortunately, we're not zoned for seating out there, but we've utilized the space to provide hyper fresh food

Catherine PeilaOctober 28, 2012If it's your first time go for the 3 tastes dishes - chef / owner Paul can cook! Farro, mushrooms, blackened beets and Jambalaya balls - outrageously good - food Ho's gotta visit
PriceMarch 10, 2013You may not know they do brunch and it is quite amazing. Jambalaya balls to share. The BBBQ cocktail is like a michelada with less spice and more smokiness.
Cesar RazuriApril 14, 2013Lasagna edges in a bowl of perfectly brown buttered mushrooms w/a timberdoodle toast. Stop it. So good.
Rob PrattJune 9, 2013Live band during Sunday brunch - nice trio playing very enjoyable music - violin, guitar and upright bass.
NikiOctober 6, 2012Must haves: Burrata, Lemon ricotta flatbread, meatball flatbread, jambalaya balls ( crazy good sauce!) and the peanut pie for dessert!
Get the jambalaya balls for crying out loud! The clams casino have a lot of bacony goodness, too... be sure to ask for extra bread to sop up the broth.
Priest stranglers are a must have. Great bloodies too. And don't forget to pay with Cover!

Rebecca GarciaJune 19, 2013Get the priest strangler pasta, steak and sugar daddy cocktail can't go wrong.- DAugust 15, 2013Everything great, including the service. Hanger steak was PERFECTLY cooked. The only thing lacking was the ice cream, really icy.

"A small place that specializes in small plates. That mezze w/ curry chik is tasty. Cod fritters and shrimp are worth the trip alone. $4 wine for happy hour b4 8pm. Can we get them to stay open later?"
