Drinks, food & service were all 5 star. Raw oysters, beef tartar and tuna were all exceptional. Warmed wedge salad is a show stopper. Don’t miss it. Steaks were delicious and cooked properly. Second time here and was just as memorable as the first. Best restaurant experience in Louisiana.

We almost left because it was busy and we didn't get waited on in 10 minutes and then out of the blue one of the best servers on the planet emerged to take care of us: Stephanie is fabulous so ask for her if you ever visit here. The Wagyu steak was over the top excellent (be prepared to pay $70) Just a good old fashioned steak house downtown, close to convention center, concerts and clubs. If you like fine dining this is the place! They also have small bites and great appetizers if you have a smaller appetite.

About the restaurant

We are 75+ year old home converted to an elevated restaurant + bar featuring smoked meats, steaks, seafood, killer salads, and a variety of sides. Our food is paired with a robust specialty cocktail menu, twelve craft beers on tap, 30+ whiskeys, and a full wine list.

Our bar & lounge area is very unique, while seating in what used to be the living room is quaint. Our deck behind the house under the oak trees & string lights is comfortable and our new gazebo outfitted with lounging furniture and a fire place is cozy.

We are proudly locally owned and have a great staff culture - we'd love for you to dine with us!

[We always leave tables available for walk-ins, so please call or just come in if reservations are shown as full.]

The food was phenomenal! Highly recommend sliced brisket, chicken, mac and cheese and their cornbread! Their barbecue sauce that they bring out with your meal is delicious!
