We sat at the bar for the 1st time. The bartender’s service was amazing. She was attentive, professional and courteous. We requested a tv channel change to the Tulane game & she happily obliged. Outstanding experience!

Every dish had a story and you felt it. The group o sat with was very nice. I will come here every time I come to New Orleans. The addition of the lobster was the best choice I made. The chef was nice enough to come out and great us.

We went to the NOCHI pop up lunch Duex Fuegos and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We started with 2 cocktails -the Hibiscus tea with a shot of bourbon and the Paloma with a shot of Tequila. Both were very well crafted. For appetizers we went with the shrimp ceviche which was so cool and refreshing and the boudin tamales. Those tamales were so good I would go to a restaurant that served them. For entrees we got the broiled fish and the empanadas. The fish came with corn maque choux which had a great saucy taste. The empanadas had a red bean puree which was delicious with the blue corn chips we had leftover from the ceviche. We also got an order of fries which we dipped in the aioli which came with the empanadas. That aioli was so good. The best for last was the Dulce leche warm bread pudding. I haven’t had such a good bread in a long time. I could have licked the bowl clean of the sauce, This was our second NOCHI lunch and can’t wait for the next one. Rachel was our server and was very attentive. The courses were served so beautifully and in a timely manner.

We loved Studio Steakhouse. The staff and owner were incredible! Please give Eric a raise. It was a quiet night there, but the food and service were outstanding. I would highly recommend.

    There were four of us and it was one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Food was amazing with a nice variety. The Hot Boudin Dip, Gumbo, Short Ribs, Dumplings, and Sweet Potato Gnocchi were all top notch. Best gumbo we had on our trip! Service was excellent and so was dessert. Prices were very reasonable for such a wonderful meal. Get the cotton candy!
