Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near New Orleans

Terry W. • August 19, 2016Very good Italian food in a beautiful space. I sat at one of the few tables upstairs that looked down into the open kitchen and lively bar scene. I had pizza and wine with a cheese board app.

S • February 19, 2015Great vibe, a beautiful exposed brick building with a large wine selection downstairs. The food is not excellent but well worth the trip.

Kate P. • May 10, 2017So good and such friendly service, and the food is awesome -- it's like a sweetgreen (but better) meets your favorite neighborhood wine bar 👏🏼

James B. • September 27, 2016Best coffee shop we found in Nola. Go for the New Orleans iced coffee 'dressed up'.

Avani G. • July 5, 2017The jazz by her was really good. The staff is friendly!!! 👍🏻

gala d. • March 17, 2019The fried chicken kimchi was great. Their gumbo was delicious. Cute place, great service. The signature cocktails are not to be missed.

Doroulini • October 21, 2016We had breakfast tacos which where super tasty! Great spot for lunch and coffee.

Cole K. • June 25, 2023Whatever your expectations, they’ll be beat. True sandwich lords. Mason Hereford’s cookbook is wicked fun, too.

Michael H. • March 14, 2020The French toast is amazing. Try the Bloody Mary with gin, slight twist on a classic.

Xander H. • December 3, 2017Excellently designed tiki cocktails. Lapu Lapu bowl is especially good (and a bartender favorite apparently). Chicken wings are surprisingly exquisite.

Mark W. • June 22, 2013Rhonda rocks! Eat your way thru th dessert menu. Oh, and the savory foods are fantastic as well ... GO now!

Aariel D. • July 16, 2021Perfect place for tasty breakfast. Delicious croissant. I really loved the Mexican food which they served that has great authentic taste. Freshly made food. Must try their fresh green and fruit juice.

David S. • March 18, 2011Great brunch. Turtle soup and Oysters Bennedict are a must!

Tawni B. • June 16, 2013Best Italian I've ever had! Ask for Dawg-o. Best waiter evah!! He's got the skinny on some strawberry secret shots. They're like horchata minus the cinnamon adding strawberry. Get it!

Louis I. • January 19, 2014Have the butternut squash agnolotti! You can then die happy!

Emily S. • October 9, 2017The po boys are must here. The surf & turf is great, but if you like your fried shrimp crispy, make sure to get the shrimp only po boy. Gumbo here is bangin' as well.

Djaniella D. • June 1, 2017Rising chef, beautiful place, delicious food. The soft cooked egg hummus with harrissa left me speechless. SUPERB! I'd also recommend the falafel sandwich and pretty much anything else.

Chanel W. • June 25, 2014Forget the traditional flavors and go for the fancy flavors. The cayenne pepper ginger snoball will surprise you. In a GOOD way :)

Paula K. • February 27, 2013So happy we tried this place. It's where Surrey's La Playa was previously. It's fully updated and the food ROCKS. Delicious Colombian arepa's. A few different yummy salsas as served with the meal.

Lisa R. • February 19, 2019Vegan options! Nice staff! The entire place was very cute!

Gabriel H. • February 21, 2015The fried alligator with the chili garlic mayonnaise is a must try appetizer. Best gator I have had in New Orleans.
