- Mo MoAugust 5, 2015Fried alligator and grits so good that I'd like to curse to describe them. Neither those two things I ever trusted or liked. Today I found I've only had bad alligator or grits before.
Chris DavidsonDecember 31, 2013The Pimm's Cup is an amazing drink. It reminds me of an iced tea Sangria-it may sound strange but it's delicious. The Canebreak on tap is a plus. The French Pearl is delicious. Food is coming up next
Chris WoodJuly 11, 2016Incredible location and atmosphere. Relaxed, chill, cool bartenders that care for their drinks. Pork Belly Buns were out of this world good. Great Happy Hour bar stop.
Razi SultanaMay 6, 2018The service and food is delicious. Staff and managers were very welcoming, nice and took good care of the customers. Highly recommend the fried chicken and fish taco.
Dave MacSeptember 14, 2018Crispy fried chicken was enough for two! A bit of heat and good bacon collard greens, which I normally am not a huge fan of!
Phoebe WhealdonDecember 27, 2016This is one of my go to spots in the Quarter. Their bartenders are awesome, and know their craft well. They will create for you if you are not sure what you would like.
Jorge ChavezJuly 12, 2016HH 3:30-6pm daily, half off all beer and wines-by-the-glass. Small Plates ($5) include fried boudin balls, crispy hushpuppies, gumbo, char siu pork belly steamed bun, and pork cracklins.- Alex LeproNovember 9, 2013Phenomenal food, drinks, and staff. Robert was our amazing waiter, offering superb suggestions on everything from drinks, entrees, and even local attractions to see. Will definitely repeat! 5⭐️
Ashley ChurchillOctober 18, 2022This place was freaking amazing. Our waiter was great, drinks were great, food was great! And all at a cheaper than expected price
Lauren LeproNovember 9, 2013We stumbled upon this place and got a great surprise. Delicious food. Fantastic drinks. Ask for Robert to be your waiter. He provides suggestions on everything from meal options to local attractions.
Laura WongJanuary 27, 2015Had the potpie, a lot of pork in it (not a hugely large fan of pork) but other than that it was perfect. Drinks here is great and the live piano was a nice touch
Jenn VachonSeptember 6, 2015We ordered the Buffalo frog legs, panzanella salad, pork nachos, bacon collard greens, and crab hushpuppies. Everything was DELICIOUS! Our waitress, Nicole, was the best!
Jeremy PacJuly 2, 2014Great food, ambiance and service here. The "Cochon de Lait Pot Pie" was the best meat pie I've ever tasted. I definitely recommend coming here over K-Pauls.- Mark HarringtonSeptember 26, 2015Sazerac and gumbo have been the best I've had so far in New Orleans. BBQ shrimp and waffles and fried gator both hit the spot as well.
Zach RApril 14, 2015Great experience. The Mint Julep is one of the best I've had. Bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños were amazing.
Victor LowJune 29, 2016Classic cocktails done right (French 75, Mint Julep). Nice long bar with additional tables to drink and eat at. Service is quick and plesant
Hillary NguyenApril 10, 2015Love the Pimm's drink. The gold beet salad is prefect for a light bite. Had the duck special, good. The jerky chicken was dry and tasteless.
Jim BaileyMarch 3, 2016Enjoyed a bowl of gumbo and some jambalaya. Not bad for a place known for cocktails.
Bernardo MelloJanuary 16, 2017Delicious, medium rare perfectly done, duck chest. Well balanced and slightly sweet seasoning.
Ryan BattAugust 7, 2018Alligator grillade, gumbo, and SERVICE! The wait staff was fantastic! Knowledgeable, helpful, prompt, respectful, kind. Wonderful experience.- Stacy WheelerJuly 4, 2018We were here for lunch. Jack and I had the gumbo and 1/2 kale salad. JT had the Cochin du lait. All good.
NettieJanuary 28, 2014The service was a bit slow, but the drinks and apps are fabulous! The desserts are amazing, order a couple and share with friends!
marshall wrightJune 6, 2013Come for Chris McMillian's mint julep. Stay for the Pimm's Cup, Doctor's Order, Cracklin' Delight & master class in cocktails.
- Nelson V. GuevaraAugust 11, 2018This restaurant is a must! And when you come you@must order the alligator wings..... that’s is what I call flavor!
Nash PleasantFebruary 23, 2019Great Cajun food and cocktails. Can’t go wrong. One of the best restaurants in the quarter right now
JaySeptember 7, 2014Stop at the bar first and soak it in. Real drinks made here. Awesome food. New age Cajun is the best way to describe it.
- JaySeptember 7, 2014Take in the classic bar for a while before rushing into dinner. Food is great new wave Cajun. Reasonable prices for FQ.
Teresa DJanuary 17, 2014I appreciate the bartending skills but he pounds the bar with that loud-as-hell mallet way too often. I'm twenty minutes in and have a headache. Ask for a table far from the bar.
Rebecca WorthingtonDecember 31, 2013Fabulous service, food and cocktails. Great new place! Amazing, friendly bartenders. Will definitely be back!
Emilie DishonghJanuary 2, 2014Best place in town for a well made cocktail that's not loaded with sugar. Nice wines for happy hour too.
Ross AllenJune 22, 2014Come for a cocktail or two, sit by the piano. A pleasant, chill vibe compared to crazy Bourbon Street.
robinOctober 29, 2014Make a reservation! Open table offered me several, so I took the one in 15 minutes and walked over. When I got there, they were offering walk ins a 45 minute wait.
SaleemMarch 23, 2018Vieux carre was way off. Shrimp and grits, the grits were room temperature :/ can't send everything back. Service was nice.
Becky EdwardsFebruary 2, 2016Everything was good. Some things were just pricier for the size that was anticipated for the food items. App, 2 drinks & a dessert was $50.
TessaMarch 23, 2015Delicious food. Be prepared to pay quite a bit for small portions. Amazing flavors and drinks, though!
Mabel TMarch 3, 2014Duck Ramen is awesome! Great comfort food. Trust the bartenders on their drink suggestions. #lastword
Yana MatlisOctober 29, 2017Great service and a wonderful atmosphere. Would recommend seating at the bar.
- Gabriel HayesFebruary 18, 2015Really enjoy how they have a suggested drink pairing with every dish on the menu
Ivan LeeDecember 23, 2014Beautiful place, great service, but too expensive for the food you get: too much fancy, should be more focused on the food itself. With all do respect to the chef and owners.
Gambit New OrleansMay 22, 2013Congratulations Chris McMillian! The bartender was recently named in Gambit's 26 Craft Cocktail Bartenders You Should Know! Read more
NOLA Nites Concierge | Meloney SmithMay 27, 2013Try the Hoppin’ John crawfish salad or smoked andouille with honey-lavender mustard and sassafras catsup. DIVINE!
Brandon KellyJanuary 28, 2015Great bartenders and I enjoyed the "Every Man A King Fish" with Chilean Sea bass.
Amanda ThauApril 18, 2014Try the Pimms Cup! Huge drink and made differently than the original Pimms at Napolean's House.
Maryann WatsonNovember 2, 2013Modern menu with delicious twists - smoked rabbit gumbo is a must have!

"Crab beignets were lightly fried, filled w/plenty of crab. The tuna tartare was unique & delicious. The chocolate cake was also light and flavorful! Lastly, the NOLA Mule was very absinthe-forward👍🏻"
