Conveniently set on Louisiana Street in North Park, our design of this intimate cocktail restaurant was inspired by the charm &; character of New Orleans, with creative touches of personal effects giving guests the feeling of warmth, community & fun
Architect Jeff Svitak helped create a modern interpretation of a classic French Quarter restaurant, introducing elements of wood, marble &; rich velvet. Our lush patio seating flows seamlessly into our indoor dining space, a nod to the courtyards found across the beautiful southern city.
Our rotating food menu will be dedicated to only the best seasonal ingredients, featuring big &; bold flavors from the region.

    Our server Randy was great! It was cold and we asked 2 different employees to turn on the heater near our table and no luck. It didn’t get cut on until the last 10 minutes of our visit. My food selection was not fully cooked, the chicken was red on inside. The drinks was the best part of our visit.

    If you’re looking for a spot with a lively New Orleans vibe and flavorful dishes, this restaurant hits the mark. The menu was packed with tasty options, and everything we tried was well-prepared and delicious. The atmosphere was warm and vibrant, capturing that Southern charm perfectly. However, the Cognac Espresso Martini was a bit of a letdown. I’d suggest sticking with their other beverage offerings or pairing your meal with a classic cocktail or wine instead. Overall, it’s a great spot for a flavorful meal and a fun experience, but I’d pass on the espresso martini.

    I brought my boyfriend and his parents here to eat for his birthday. We ordered the busicuits for appetizers, they were so delicious 10/10. The margaritas was a perfect blend 10/10. Overall there were no complaints about the food at the table. Everything was well portioned. 10/10!! I would most definitely go back and recommend to friends and family.

    The mac and cheese and beignets were delicious! The Rasta Pasta oxtail and pasta were prepared perfectly but the dish was way overspiced. The blackened catfish was very spicy but the flavors were just okay. The ambience of the place was very nice! The lighting was good, the music was very good, the ceiling and general architecture was visually appealing. Service was good.

    Whatever food we ordered was great, but the disappointing part was that they were out of a lot of their dishes.

    Disappointing experience - In town and I was looking forward to visiting this restaurant. The bartender was the best part of the restaurant. He was very welcoming. Arrived a little early, waited at the bar, they never came to get us for a table- we had to ask them after we saw they were seating people that came in after us. The response was just pick one of these two tables directly behind us. I asked for a sprite, never received it. Never refilled our glasses of water. My fiancé didn’t like the chicken and didn’t eat it. The waitress didn’t ask about our experience, if there’s anything she could do, did we want dessert, nothing. Customer service leaves much to be desired. Food was a mixture of salty and spicy. The greens looked to have bones in them? The garlic biscuits are great!
