For apps, we did BBQ Shrimp, Firecracker Tuna Tacos, Lobster Dumplings + Yellowfin Tuna Yakitori. We shared the Scalibut. It was the best dish we had last night. For dessert, we got Bread Pudding + Carajillo. The service did feel a bit pushy. We ordered a bottle of 2022 Pinot Noir, would have liked to “drink in peace”. The restaurant smelled fishy when we entered, guess it’s expected from a seafood establishment.

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!

We ate in the bar which can be noisy, but we had a nice little corner table which felt intimate yet was still part of the bar experience. We had the wagyu burger with fries and the brussel sprouts. Both were excellent!
