Absolutely fantastic brunch menu. Not only nice twists on things like the corndog and tuna tartare, but also creative new things like crispy rice with bacon and mitake mushroom with a yolk jam. Both cocktails we had were balanced, refreshing, and delicious.

A stunning opening weekend. Really, really good. The crab fat rice is mindblowing, the agniolotti smokey and unctuous. The duck had a savoriness and the richness one finds in roast lamb. Amazing.

Another wonderful restaurant. I had the brunch while I was there. It was all so delicious that I felt like I should have been rolled out the door. My main meal was bananas foster French toast with grits and hashbrown potatoes. I started with the cold brew coffee that hit the spot. A very cool little place inside a huge building in the Bywater area.

The best food we had in New Orleans! Everything was delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere was very nice! We had the half chicken, the pork belly and the fish dish and we loved everything!! I can’t recommend this place enough! Definitely pay a visit if you are in New Orleans!

Found this place on googes’ and thought we’d give it a try. We were a five person walk in on Saturday night and they were able to find us some seats at the bar but shuffling a few people around. It gave us a great view of the beautiful open kitchen and to chat with the bartender. All the food was outstanding from start to finish, the bartender made some amazing cocktails and the service was excellent. We had a great time and I’d recommend this place to everyone. I had the duck and a side of roasted cabbage. One of the better dining experiences I’ve had in a long time!

Really lovely ambiance, staff were all incredibly welcoming and attentive, and the food was out of this world sublime. Don't skim past simple-looking appetisers like the cabbage salad as it was flavourful, tangy, crunchy with a little kick of spice all finely balanced for an interesting bite every time. The jerk chicken was the single most tender and juicy I've ever had, with a big spice that didn't overpower the flavours The rabbit was an another unexpected hit at our table of 4, and we were all unanimously blown away by this delightful Bywater gem.

Very nice, love the atmosphere. Food was great. The bread was awesome; I ordered it twice! Will definitely go back. Enjoyed the company of my son, who took me there with my friend. Will go back.

Hidden gem in this up and coming area of New Orleans. The bar is the place to sit if you like watching people cook and the interactions of the workers. We had a great time seated there! The kitchen is amazing!! Well put together and everything was so beautifully orchestrated. The food: yum! All is fresh, pasta is made in house, the farro was toasted so it was crunchy with a nice spin on the taste, and the drinks were perfect. Great spot.
