The moment you step into this culinary gem, you're transported to the vibrant crossroads of Israeli and Mediterranean cuisine in the heart of New Orleans. The combination of hummus and fried chicken here is nothing short of exceptional – silky smooth with a perfect balance of tahini and lemon, creating a velvety canvas for the other dishes then chicken is added expertly seasoned with aromatic Middle Eastern spices, remains remarkably tender and juicy, paying homage to time-honored cooking traditions. In a city renowned for its culinary diversity, this establishment stands out as an authentic beacon of Israeli-Mediterranean excellence, offering a dining experience that feels both sophisticated and warmly familiar.

Amazing experience and delicious food! Everything looked delicious on the menu, but I settled for the filet mignon. I was not disappointed. We had the bottomless mimosas. The wait staff was very attentive and the jazz band played a personal selection at our table. Highly recommended!

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!
