Paddy • December 6, 2014Really classy place for a bite to eat. Tasty bloody marys and delicious gumbo. Servers are very classically dressed and it gives the impression of being back in the 20's.

Igor O. • October 26, 2012Get a table outside on a cool evening and sample as many small plates as you can. Very memorable spot for a casual romantic date. +1 on cocktails as well.

William H. • June 10, 2013Ramos Gin Fizz is a must. Classic bar with beautiful hotel. Artwork is dated and fairly inappropriate for modern day. Drinks are spot on.

Christine C. • November 5, 2014Really awesome and plentiful brunch. Try the fried chicken with poached eggs or the shrimp and grits with rosemary sauce. Biscuits come with both and they are phenomenal.

Lauren J. • August 22, 2015Right off Bourbon St but worlds away in atmosphere! Delicious drinks, super clean and a great live band!
