    I’ve was in NOLA in October and had my first experience at Briquette. Came again and had to return for the Creole Gumbo! It’s excellent. Also had the shrimp pasta and loved it. The ambience is perfect. Sydney was fantastic and made the evening special!

    Brunch & Bloody Mary’s were excellent. Service by Mason was exceptional. Mason lined up an impromptu tour of the distillery with the distiller. She was very passionate about her craft & was very informative about the processes. The overall experience was wonderful. Thank you!
