We visited here 3 times whilst in New Orleans and loved it each time. Arthur served us at the bar the first 2 times, he makes amazing cocktails and the cracklins on the menu is delicious. Very friendly and chilled. We then ate brunch on our last day and Nico served us, he was so sweet and kind and made sure we enjoyed everything. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys. The food is tasty and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed. Great spot to chill out in.

There were 8 of us and the Revellion menu had something for us all. Not one of the group was dissatisfied with any part of the meal. Two meals of particular brilliance were the chopping and the roasted duck. The ciopino was all Louisiana in style and in flavor. The roasted duck in a grape blueberry confit was genius and easily the best game bird I ever tasted. An honorable mention and very honorable indeed was the pork chop which was thick delicious and tender. Randy provided an excellent night of service, knowledgeable and attentive. A very professionable waiter.
