    The food and ambience were amazing, but I was most impressed by the service. From the host to the server it was a wonderful experience. Ask for Q!

    Outstanding food and service. We were expecting a jazz band for brunch and had a great duet. Not a very New Orleans ambience.

    This place is elegant, but also very welcoming and not stuffy. Our server Ryan was a gem and he was very knowledgeable about all of the dishes and appetizers. We went for our wedding anniversary and it was the best choice to make! Definitely will be back!

    An excellent evening from beginning to end. Amazing cocktails at Chandelier Bar where we had found a very creative menu and warm and friendly service from the very talented mixologist. Jamal, the assistant F&B manager provided exceptional Southern hospitality. The menu, while somewhat limited offers fantastic appetizers and entrees that showcase the local flavors and foods of NOLA. Every dish we had was delicious. The appetizer stand outs were the Duck and Andouille Gumbo and Blue Crab Au Gratin. The Lightly blackend snapper was perfectly prepared and piping hot and the friend bone- in porkchop with pickled okra was a favorite. Mauricio provided perfect service. We will definitely return.
