    Food is excellent. Service is usually great but was entirely too slow tonight. Took too long to approach the table. Seemed understaffed. And very loud and noisy. Can consider putting some soft surfaces to absorb some of the sound.

    I would definitely not recommend this steak restaurant. Our server Will must have been on crack or something, who ask if we are celebrating something 5 times before getting the menu. The lady Kim helping with the tables around us was excellent, picking up plates, refilling waters. The meatball was cold, the who dat shrimp was warm nothing special. Our steak and veal were okay nothing special. People walking back and forth in front of your table to use the restroom 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ We go out a lot wanting to give this place another try but it’s just a neighborhood hotel restaurant that’s it. I personally would recommend chophouse for an upscale experience or Desi Vegas Downtown before coming here. Definitely a 3 star or less restaurant.

    One of my favorite restaurants in New Orleans but this time the steaks were not cooked to requested temps and the waiter was awful.

    We arrived to the restaurant on time and were seated promptly. The staff was friendly and courteous. We were given recommendations for wine, cocktails, and the specials of the evening. The food came out promptly and they brought a complementary meatball appetizer which was delicious. My crab cake was excellent, and my husband really enjoyed the beef stew. When our steaks came out, my husband’s was delicious and mine didn’t taste like anything. We ordered the same exact cut of meat. My husband tasted mine and said it was terrible and I tasted his and it was great. When we alerted the waiter, he took my steak back and suggested a petite fillet in replacement. It took about 10 to 15 minutes for it to arrive and we had finished all of our sides, and my husband had finished his meal. The petite fillet was very good. When we got our check, the waiter mentioned that he took off the cost of the fillet I sent back and only charged me for the smaller portion which I think was the appropriate thing to do anyway. There was no attempt to lessen the bad experience of waiting for the new edible steak or any kind of apology. I wasn’t looking for a freebie or anything. I just didn’t feel like it was acknowledged at all. I would like to give them another try since we live close by, but with so many other restaurants and steakhouses to choose from, I’m not sure if it’s worth my while.

    A great option for a steak dinner in New Orleans. Old School Vibe, with white table cloths, career waiters, and excellent food. I had a Petit Filet and sides. Next trip I’ll try the veal, which sounds divine. Veal topped with lump crab, paired with pasta and bolognese. The meatball “amuse bouche” was delicious. Good drinks, nice wine list. Enjoy!

    The steak was great. My dish was a little strange but the food was good. Our server was not at all friendly and I had to ask for the wine list 3 times. I actually told my boyfriend to tip less than 20%. Friendly service is a must.

    We felt rushed, courses came too fast. When we ordered drinks, waiter left before we could specify what vodka we wanted. When we saw the waiter next, he just said he put in for grey goose, a more expensive choice I presume. All food delicious, steaks cooked to our liking, although all expensive.
