Our party of 4 ordered from the Coolinary menu. The Creole Crab & Avocado Tomato was good, but would have been better with actual Creole tomatoes. Since it's not creole tomato season, the tomatoes would have been better sliced rather than cut in half. They were a little hard and difficult to cut up. The shrimp & grits was awesome! Including 2 bottles of wine for 4 people was also an generous inclusion. The peanut butter pie was delicious and more than the 4 of us could finish.

This was a fantastic last-minute, late-night find. The staff were warm and personable. The decor was very cool, and the vinyls they were selecting/playing made for a very chill vibe. We each had an incredible cocktail and mocktail. Food was amazing! Everything sounded good and it was hard to choose. We had the 5 plate sample and each one was spot on! We highly recommend and plan to visit again next time in New Orleans.

Awesome staff and amazing food. We were greeted at the door by the engaging host. He introduced us to the team. All of them, the waiter, bartender and serving staff were fun and engaging. The food was top-notch. I had the fillet, and it was cooked too perfection. highly recommend.

This was my 1st time eating here but it’s definitely not my last. Whenever I’m home visiting I make it a point to eat out at restaurants I’ve never visited.The staff were very welcoming and the food was DELICIOUS!! I highly recommend anyone visiting New Orleans to eat here.

This was my second time visiting and both times it was fantastic! We sat at the bar with Claire and had a great time. She recommended food choices so we could enjoy both appetizer and entree. Claire was entertaining and a lot of fun. Manny spent time with us on wine choices and some of the wine you have on your list and told us a story about a bottle of wine and the history. As a NOLA resident I will be back for sure, and my friends who were visiting had a great time.
