In the late 1800’s, Royal Street was home to a famous “curio” shop, a place where curiosities from all over the world could be had for a dollar or two. Today, the shop is no more, but the feeling of excitement and wonder still exists on Royal Street today. And so in the heart of the most premier art district in New Orleans, we’re bringing back the curiosity – reintroducing New Orleans to a circus of flavor so vibrant it makes other restaurants nearby pale in comparison.

    We were seated next to front door and there was an extremely loud street performer right out the door. We could not even hear ourselves think much less talk amongst ourselves. Drinks were good. Food was very so so. The waiter was awesome- very friendly and checked on us often. Just wish we had a better table location.

    The good was fine but our server was spectacular and very patient with all of the food allergies of one of our party. The street singer right on the corner was too loud for us in the balcony. I would eat here again.

    The food was great and so was our server! It just took a while to receive our drinks and food. The upstairs patio was a great location!

    The food was delicious. We sat on the balcony as a jazz parade went by and it was the perfect New Orleans experience

    Took a while to get seated with a reservation and no line. The wait for food was a bit much, but the food itself was great and our waitress worked hard.

    Six NOLA natives went to dinner, and between us had crab cakes, shrimp and grits, turkey Cuban sandwich, duck and black-eyed pea gumbo, a fried seafood platter and the crawfish etouffee. All of the food was good but the crab cakes, etouffee and Cuban sandwich were standouts. Also, we asked to be reseated due to a loud party at the bar and were accommodated immediately which was much appreciated. Would definitely return.
