Service was top notch, everything we order we devoured. The duck liver mousse, beef tartare, pork terrine, lamb ribs, spatzle, hanger steak, salads and squash, on top of two desserts the chocolate cake was the clear winner but the goat milk custard was intriguing. Orange wine was delicious. Will be back frequently.

Exceptional food! We arrived early enough to get the happy hour drink and apps. The raw oysters were served with a mignonette sauce. My trout was cooked to perfection.

This place was awesome! Great food, great service in a pleasant atmosphere. Such a nice change from the tourist trap of the Bourbon St. area.

We were regulars until now. Service was awful. Pretty sure the waiter forgot to punch in the order. Food took forever. Cold dishes (raw tuna/beef tartare) came out hot, and hot dishes came out cold. Manager was so snarky and didn’t come help the situation for 30 minutes. Waiter tried to avoid us the entire time after we complained.
