    We made reservations at 7:30 because one of my daughters is an ER nurse and she didn’t get off until 7. We were celebrating a birthday and our last dinner as a family for a couple of months. We were seated immediately when we came in and someone came and poured us water. We were sat at a table that was in the entry way and every time someone went in and out the front door the cold wind would hit you. There were plenty of other tables we could have been sat at. We decided that when our server came we were going to ask if it was possible to move to another table. We waited over 15 minutes and not one person came to our table. We saw at least 4 servers/food runners walk by us multiple times and not one stopped at our table. As I said we were celebrating a birthday and it was our last dinner as a family before my youngest daughter headed back to school. We won’t see her again for several months. We ended up just walking out and walked down to Bar Vetti and they happily seated and served us. We have eaten many times at the St. Mathew’s location and have never had this issue. We will continue to go to that location but we will never go back to the location downtown.

    A terrific local experience where the attention to detail is impressive. All of the choices we ordered from the menu were excellent. We will definitely go again.

    The mussels were good but had sand in them. The accompanying focaccia was stale (why no French bread?) It’s too bad because the sauce was delicious. The jambalaya was tasty over all and had plenty of shrimp but just a little bit of sausage and exactly two small bite-size pieces of chicken (like the size of a lozenge).

    Everything from start to finish was excellent. We had a group of 15 on NYE. Everyone agreed it was an excellent experience.

    Great neighborhood spot in NuLu. Good food, ambience and service. My group enjoyed a late Sunday afternoon lunch on a cold, rainy day and lunch hit the spot.

    We love New Orleans and love to eat when in New Orleans. You all did not disappoint! Great food and great staff! From the time we walked in the door- everyone was kind, friendly and helpful! We arrived early- while waiting to be seated Joe and the live music were perfect! Thank you Joe for the peanut butter and jelly drink- we were pleasantly surprised with the drink special and the entertainment that came with it. Excellent night out and experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    All of our meals were excellent. The only negative on the evening was how loud it was very hard for a table of 10 to talk and hear each other. Our waitress was excellent.
