We loved the cool neighborhood vibe, generous front porch with outdoor seating, delicious food (beet salad was amazing), great cocktails and overall fantastic experience! We visited on the first night of our trip to NO and loved it so much we returned on our last night. My 9 year old (carb fan) couldn’t get enough brussel sprouts, so a win for the entire family!

Atmosphere is fantastic and location is ideal. However, that is where the good news ends. Our first two small plates were wonderful (the fruit parfait and the avocado toast) but every large plate we ordered was horrendous. The pancakes especially, which looked like it was "bring your child to work day" and the chef let a three year old make them. The bottoms were charred and burnt and they looked nothing like a pancake and more like roadkill. The food came out at different times so our party of six was made to eat in stages. One guest asked for egg whites (a common request, I'm sure) and was told by our waiter that "the chef didn't know how to make them." Really? You separate the egg and the yolk. The waiter then went and checked again and the chef said he would make "an exception" and make them. They came out runny and still in liquid form, which then had to be sent back in order to be properly cooked. My stepfather's chicken salad sandwich literally came out last, after the rest of us were done eating, which is incredibly odd considering I'd assume this isn't made fresh. The place was pretty empty considering it was prime Sunday brunch hours. I don't think i'll be back to try this.

Brunch was fantastic! We had a beautiful morning so we ate outside listening to a small duet playing music. Order the Avacado Toast, you wont be disappointed!
