    The best thing about this dining experience by far was our waiter, Mason. He was extremely fun and engaging. Witty and all around pleasant. I just cannot say enough good things about him and hope managment see this and give him kudos. He was probably the best waiter I have ever had. The dining room was not crowded and the food was very good, except for my husband’s ribeye which was a bit overcooked and not very tender, and they did comp us his port at dessert as an apology, which was lovely of them. Everything else about the evening was wonderful. We received an amuse-bouche to start and were each sent home with a box containing two flavors of scones as a lagniappe. My friend and I had the short ribs pappardelle and they were excellent, and we shared a burrata with balsamic pearls and air bread which was spectacular. My husband’s app was the Summertime Surprise, a fried soft shell crab, which he said was “sublime” and the presentation was quite beautiful. It was a quiet dining room with the hotel bar adjacent, so we could hear lots of good music and revelry coming from there which enhanced our experience but didn’t intrude on it. We enjoyed the mural of Jackson Square with famous folks drawn into it, and when we mentioned our interest in it to Mason, he brought Ken, the resident expert on the hotel’s murals, over to answer our questions. Overall it was a lovely evening of upscale dining with really phenomenal service.

    Wonderful experience. Staff was awesome, including the secondary waitstaff who assisted with drink refills/other items. Upside down cornbread wasn’t awesome, BBQ shrimp sauce was a little overpowering, but flatbread, fries, and dumplings were fantastic. Cotton candy was a cute and fun addition - made the kids feel special. Will absolutely return to try different items - about to choose from.

    Not only was the food outstanding, but the wait staff were an absolute joy. Quick, funny and attentive, we had the best time. My husband is an extremely picky eater and they adapted the shrimp cocktail starter for him and basically invented an entirely new dish, which he devoured and loved. The only thing I would say is the amount of food for bites and starter meant that by the time my goat curry came I was very full already!
