Outdoor small courtyard in the back of the main restaurant. The outside courtyard was dog friendly (they brought our doggo water too which was lovely) I suggest calling to see if they have a table available bc there were only 8 tables.The staff was amazing and the gumbo and breakfast sandwich was so good! Drinks were tasty too!Note: this is a smaller menu so check it out online.

I stopped in New Orleans on a “drive by” going cross-country, so has no reservations. I got to the restaurant at 5pm on the Friday before Fat Tuesday. I got right in-but was only offered outdoor seating. It was a little breezy and chilly. I think I was too early for the night crowds,just after the day crowds, judging by the way the streets cleared out.I like that the menu is not overwhelming. The service was good, friendly & helpful. I had the Beet, Pear & Goat cheese salad & the Pork Chop with Grits & Andouille sausage. Both were excellent. Chop was perfectly cooked and tender, grits had some nice bite to them and the sauce was flavorful. Salad had a beautiful balsamic reduction. If I were to criticize anything it would be that I would have liked the beets julienned instead of the larger chunks they used. Highly recommended!

Absolutely did not disappoint!! The chicken and waffles were delicious!!

Beautiful, quintessential NOLA, delicious food.

IMMACULATE VIBES IN THE CUTEST COURTYARD. My sister and I had a lovely brunch to kick off our weekend here in NOLA. We ordered the shrimp and grits + the braised short rib on jimmy cakes. The service was quick and polite.

The food and service was amazing. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend.

This place looks so magical with fairy-lights and is a perfect date night option. The courtyard is beautiful and the ambiance (both indoors and outdoors) oozes an old world charm. The food was amazing. We had the pasta, bread pudding and poutine and everything tasted wonderful.

Beautiful courtyard and nice ambience. Drinks and food were delicious! We had Old Man and the Sea and Tequila mockingbird with Brussels sprouts and a pasta Primavera. Bathroom needs updated.

The courtyard is beautiful, the drinks are well made and delicious but the food is lacking. The croissant was soft and clearly grocery store bakery brand. Potatoes had too much chili and paprika on them. Food came out very late due to lack of staff. Too pricy for what we got.

Weird interaction with the host here, it was a bit chilly out so we asked to move one table over to be near the heat lamp. The host told us she couldn't move us because "she didn't have a server in that section, and we close soon" (half an hour).I worked as a host before, I can totally understand if the restaurant was slammed or if it was a long way between sections. But it was 4 feet away. Seems simple to go say "hey (server), I know table 22 isn't your section but it was going to be your table, can you go serve them". It's an empty table.Also we ate and left well before many customers, so i didn't care for the "time shaming".Food was delicious and our actual server was polite and let us move, so still 5 stars to me. Beautiful courtyard. Pictured is the table we weren't supposed to move from ?
