Four Strangers Walk Into A Bar...

30 years ago, four people working in the hospitality industry met in a bar on Toulouse Street in The French Quarter of New Orleans. Over time they became friends and when the first one moved away he stated, "our paths will cross again." Sure enough, over the next three decades, we worked together and apart in cities across the United States, including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Telluride, Washington DC and of course The Big Easy. In early 2021 an opportunity presented itself and Toulouse was born.

Using local, sustainable ingredients, we produce food with a hint of New Orleans style, in the type of place where tourists feel at home, locals are at home, and everyone is surrounded by family and friends.

    We waited at least 30 minutes for anyone to see us. Our server was apologetic, and I had noticed her glancing at our table a few times before seeing us. Our food was okay, but our disappointment in the lack of attentive staff overshadowed it. Our drinks were watered down. We definitely could get a better drink for the same price ($$) elsewhere. We expected better service and food for how much we paid. The highlight of our meal was the buttery lobster and a perfectly cooked steak (needed seasoning and SALT).

    Toulouse brings New Orleans style fine dining to a casual and beautiful mountain setting with unbelievable food and wonderful service. The shrimp grits we’re “heavenly” and the steaks were tasty and perfectly cooked. But I was important, the service was top-notch from the front bartenders to the entire wait staff. Highly recommend and will be back for sure!

    Had an enjoyable evening; it was late on a weekday so it was quiet and service was top notch. Drinks from the bar were amazing and our server was personable and attentive. We shared a salad and each enjoyed our entrees. Wish they had more menu choices but maybe that’s a secret to success. Also wish they hadn’t microwaved the bread pudding for so long (or at all): it was hot and tough. Once they work around that problem, I’ll give them five stars.

    Great restaurant that doesn't have the tourist feel, as many other places in town do. Owners and staff were very nice and friendly. The menu is a little limited but has nice selections to for many different tastes. Good quality was excellent
