        Restaurant didn’t not have any heat. The service was horrendous and by the time we were served food was cold. Complained to manager informing they do not have control of thermostat. Wish they would have notified or mentioned to us of this glitch.

        Most food is definitely shareable. Each item ordered popped with its own explosion of flavors and was beautiful. Service was incredible… Highly recommend!

        Overall a good and fun experience! Service and good were great but we had to wait almost 45 min for our food… unacceptable! The place got pretty loud.

        Server was excellent but restaurant was very busy/understaffed and overall it took a long time for orders to get placed. Was very loud and hard to have a business dinner. Great food options with a good mix of NOLA classics. Would go back but with a smaller party and personal dinner only.
