    A beautifully dark, intimate restaurant nestled right around the Arts District in New Orleans. I loved the antique style of the apartment mixed with the semi-modern menus and meals. All of our food was excellent, served hot, and served quickly! Our waitress was great and paid attention to our needs. What an excellent, fun little find!

    This was very, very good. My husband and I both had the blue crab bisque which was full of crab and delicious and then we had the fish of the day which was puppy drum and was equally delicious. Hadn't been there in a while but will definitely be back soon
