The people were real. Just nice and informative. The food was so much better than we expected. The strange combinations of flavors worked like crazy. Small tapas portions mostly, that allowed you to just keep eating. Don’t you hate it when you fill up on bread and can’t keep eating? No worries. My fav was the flat bread. When it first came out all hot and amazing, dang. But even as it cooled off when food usually gets boring, it continued to taste amazing. And they had cotton candy with sparklers. Are you kidding me??? It was so fantastic.

I’ve was in NOLA in October and had my first experience at Briquette. Came again and had to return for the Creole Gumbo! It’s excellent. Also had the shrimp pasta and loved it. The ambience is perfect. Sydney was fantastic and made the evening special!

Had a fun birthday dinner here with my family. It was a Saturday night, so it was busy, but not too loud or crazy. Service was solid and the atmosphere was fun. Glad we took the short walk from our hotel.
