Jeff our waiter was phenomenal, he did not rush us and was very pleasant . He had a great energy and enjoyed what he did and it showed . He made the night ! Food was excellent and speciality drinks and turtle soup were amazing ! Great table too . Room was loud when filled, hard to hear at our table ; suggest some type of ceiling dampers to decrease noise level for a better fine dining experience .

Quality New Orleans food from the Brennan family with a nice inside and outside ambience. Menu for lunch or even dinner is not large selection but great food and would return for sure.

Staff was very attentive to our needs and inquiries. Peking Duck was disappointing in that it was tough with a heavy salt rub on it. Fish offerings were excellent. Overcooked filet mignon was quickly replaced as it was originally ordered. Praline bread pudding was tasty but a bit dry. Nectar soda, delicious! Chocolate “doberge” cake was not really doberge; however, it was a delicious slice of cake.

Great! Mentioning birthday in the reservation made the table extra special (ribbon, menu). Seated early. Perfect location across from City Park during Celebration in the Oaks.

We were advised the seafood dishes are great and yes so true! I loved the drum (daily special) and my spouse love the redfish on the half shell. We had great cocktails (sidecar) and wine list is very good. Ambience was lively - beautiful city park scenery out the windows. The bar is so nice - would love to come back to hang out there! Our serve Sandy was so friendly and knowledgeable!
