    We waited to be seated - finally took us to table - for 5. Our reservation was for 2 people, he looked at screen wrong. We walked by 4 available tables for 2 persons- he took us to table set for 4 way back of the place. Constantly setting up tables, moving chairs loudly. Hauling chairs in air over our heads to move chairs to tables for 16 people. Loud, screeching, slamming plates. Negronis were good. Salad with skirt steak - disgusting limp lettuce that had obviously been drenched with dressing hours before. Skirt steak had grisly areas throughout.?Shrimp & grits were bland. Small dinner salad had exact same limp drenched sad lettuce. No water refills. Had to ask for salt & pepper & steak knife. So loud, no way to talk. Terrible anniversary dinner out. Grrrr.

We are also sorry you had issues with refills and missing condiments. These oversights are not acceptable. We appreciate your honesty.

    This was my first experience enjoying dinner at a restaurant on Christmas Eve and the service was great! Brock was our server for a table of 6, none of us had ever been here before and he was great with suggestions! Will definitely be back!

    Food was great! Drink prices were a little on the high side for a distillery, but tasty.

    We reserved a Thanksgiving dinner in advance, reservation was at 7pm. It took quite a while to receive our entrees and they had run out of some of the sides by then. This was fine, as the food that we did get was really delicious. At 8.30pm we asked about the dessert assortment that was supposed to be included in the special Thanksgiving menu. Our server told us the dessert table had been cleared away already an hour ago, so at about 7.30pm, 30 minutes into our dinner reservation. I understand that some things may run out, but it was disappointing that there was no dessert at all for us even with a reservation.. very unprofessional. There was no possibility to order any dessert separately either. We did get some drinks taken off our bill but overall felt a little disappointed with this experience.

    Wonderful Thanksgiving 4 course line-up. The drinks were delicious, especially Lula NOLA's signature Hurricane drink. It's dangerously deceiving where you can drink more than one, 'til it hits you. While I like the self-service coffee and tea option, I don't think having a serve yourself dessert bar works, as the boozy one that I eye'd earlier was not replenished and gone by the time it was my turn for dessert. You ran out early, and our waiter actually provided me one to compensate. Regardless, we enjoyed everything. Your staff worked extremely hard, were very stressed, but did their best to make our experience a nice one. It's our second time in NOLA. My husband and I were happy to spend Thanksgiving at your establishment.
