This place has changed ownership, and it’s apparent. Looks a little more trendy and not as rough around the edges as the old owners had it. The filet was TINY. My partner had the lamb, which was good and a better portion. $6 for bacon collard greens. $33 for a tiny filet that was just cooked in wine (not the classic Roquefort cheese sauce they used to have). $24 for char-grilled oysters, which were tasty but imported from the new owner’s other Italian restaurant in Houma. Not your typical NOLA fare. ended up paying over $100 with tip and only had water to drink. Im not sure we’ll be going back. The food was good, but it’s overpriced for the portions you get. It also felt like it has lost some of the neighborhood charm. They turned the back of the restaurant (used to be a waiting room) into a dining room, which may mean that the new owners just want to shoehorn people in there and make more money. Our waitress was nice enough, but a little spacey. The manager was very attentive, as he probably should be. All in all, the new owners may be killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
Chicken & sausage gumbo was very good. The black drum had way too much red pepper. Overwhelming pepper on fish is NOT good. The risotto and asparagus sides were fine.
UptownLifer. I really wish this place would invest in a parking area. they are terrible neighbors which has caused crowding and loitering in the neighborhood. Staff, take the bus! Guest, your best bet is a taxi. No where near being a neighborhood restaurant, just a fashion some feel they must partake.
Used to Love It. I used to love this place. You really couldn’t go wrong with anything you ordered. Now it feels like a shadow of its old self. The food was fine…nothing great. And the server was grumpy and slow. If I’m not mistaken at one time the staff had ownership in the place, but I’m not sure that’s the case anymore. Our server was grumpy and he even warned us that he’d be grumpy. And last but not least…this place used to offer an affordable fine dining experience. I think the prices are definitely high for what you get these days. I do hope they get their act back together and return to being a great neighborhood restaurant.
Good when they are open. Twice now they are closed during their posted business hours for Saturday. We have been turned away 3 times for weekend brunch even though we arrived during posted business hours. It’s 1:15 on Saturday and the doors are locked! After the 4th time of no service we will have to reconsider going again.
Split Decision. We took some friends visiting from Colorado to dinner Friday night, not knowing that there was a new chef at the helm. The menu was slightly different but the food was still amazing. We dined here with a large group a year or so ago for a birthday and everything was so wonderful, we wanted to share this gem with our visitors.The delicious food couldn’t make up for the horrible service we received. We were a party of 6, so we ordered several menu items to share, plus a bottle of wine, cocktails and beers. Not sure if our hipster waiter decided we were going to be cheap tippers because we were sharing items, but as soon as we ordered our entrees, we were left alone for the most part. Dirty appetizer plates were left for the entire meal. He never checked to see if we wanted another round of drinks, we had to wave him over. He checked on us once after entrees were delivered and we never heard from him again. It was very clear that we were celebrating a person’s birthday and dessert was never offered. We were his last table in the dining room and sat there with no drinks, no dessert staring at him while he had the bartender make him a cocktail and they shared a laugh during their discussion about their post work plans. I finally had to verbally summon him to our table so we could get the check. He was on top of it then, eager for us to pay. After his fake banter about being from New Orleans, etc, which he isn’t, he again went back to his cocktail at the bar and waited for us to exit. We will never return here because of his service or lack of. What an embarrassment to bring our out of town friends here and have them treated like this on their birthday.
Two stars (max). The food was very mediocre. It did not live up to expectations. I ordered the shrimp special and it tasted like unseasoned canned tomato sauce poored on top. The shrimp were the size of a quarter and those were the big ones. Had it not been for the corn bread, I would have left hungry. Very disappointing. I won’t go back.
