We had a great meal and experience here. Was not crowded on a Friday night. Megan was our server and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. All the dishes were excellent. Tuna app was awesome. Gluten free pasta very good. Tried the chick and the duck for mains and they were both great.

Delicious Chopped Salad and Pesto Pasta. The atmosphere is special! The restaurant is located in the Ace Hotel. It’s a very old historic building brought back to its former glory! Delightful get away!

The food and drinks were so fun for celebrating. The ambience feels like Nola and his s a wonderful representation of the city. The only drawback is the timing. We had a reservation and were asked to come early, we did, but still waited over 20 minutes. The table service was slow too.

Stopped by for brunch. Ordered a martini espresso, and it was decent. My martini glass had a small chip in it. The seasonal beignets was excellent!!. They were nice and warm, not too hot, and the strawberries were sweet. For the main dish iPad Italian shrimp and grits. The flavor was really good; the right amount of spices and the grits were flavorful. Only complaint is that I had a few hard chunks of grits in my grits. The customer service was just ok.

We enjoyed our meal and our waiter was great! I had the Amalfi 75 cocktail w lemoncello and hubs had a vodka martini. Only complaint was that the glasses were small like the champagne type from grandmas collection. Could be more of a martini type! We enjoyed the focaccia bread with burrata cheese and a beef carpaccio. Both were excellent! We shared a rigatoni entre and it was plenty for us! Wish they would have split the entree in separate bowls before serving but not too big of a deal. Dessert was a peanut butter parfait that was delish. Overall was a great dinner and only a couple minutes walk to our hotel La Pavillion

Excellent place for a quick drink. Beautiful interior, but the food was okay. I expected the oysters to be more exotic, but the taste was just okay. My squid ink pasta was tasty. However, the pasta was slightly oversalted, and the clams were overcooked. It’s disappointing for the price. I had zero interest in dessert after that.

Small portions, overpriced food. The drinks were a hit and miss. you’d do better going just about anywhere else in the city.

The food was ridiculously good! Everything was mouth watering, cooked to perfection, and really unique. I’d also recommend to affogato desert-one of the best I’ve ever had.

We went here for a birthday dinner date after hearing great things about it. The staff was amazing, the decor was great; it had an out of time atmosphere that was very pleasing! The food was well flavored, however we had wish for some more pasta due to price point.

An interest experience. We were told ahead of time the culture here was different than what we may expect. When you walk in, it presents as a very fancy restaurant, but the staff is encouraged to “come as you are.” That means most of the staff were in blue jeans. They also had pin on their shirts to identify them as restaurant staff. The manager told me they didn’t believe in name tags. I wasn’t sure if that was some sort of new age culture thing I was oblivious to or not.
