What can I say that hasn't been said. Irene's doesn't disappoint. Yes it's in the middle of the Quarter and I loved the old location, but the Bienville location is vibrant and old school while still having the charm of St. Phillip's St. The food was outstanding and the service was comfortable and professional and you feel like family. Kelli, our server, was fabulous and the whole staff seemed to be in great spirits as well. The ambiance was inviting and comforting and spectacular.

My girlfriends and I gathered from all over the country back home in New Orleans to have a Christmas meal together. San Lorenzo exceeded exceptions. Our server Madison A made sure we had the most special dining experience and shared her knowledge of the wine selection and which would pair best with each dish of every course. We felt like family with smiles and greetings from all the staff and the overall warm atmosphere. The dining area itself is very cozy with an exclusive feel. Sort of like a secret local gem where you can come as you are and always feel like a VIP. My friends and I will definitely be making this a regular rendezvous when we’re able to make it back home and we will certainly ask to be in Madison’s section everytime!

Domenica was recommended by friends of ours and it did not disappoint! Food was outstanding - black truffle pecorino romano, spaghetti carbonara (CRAZY good), a rabbit/pasta dish (can’t remember the name), topped off by a banana dessert. Every table was taken the entire time we were there on 12.18. Highly recommend you book a reservation. LOVED our server, Heather. A fun evening.
