    The burlesque “Legs & Eggs” brunch is worth sticking around for! We enjoyed an amazing three courses, the staff were incredible, and it was absolute New Orleans perfection.

    Get the 1 but cocktails!!! You can have up to 3 with the purchase if an entree and they are only 25 cents each!!! Also, the gin martini is strong and worth more than your 25 cents.

    The newest restaurant from the Brennan Family opened in 2012 on Royal Street or just “South of Bourbon.” As part of the W French Quarter Hotel, the design of SoBou exudes youthful sophistication. Read more

    Any dessert is fantastic, but I was blown away by the texture, flavor and creativity of the bread pudding. I also had a drink with jasmine tea that was fresh and delicious. I don't even drink liquor

    Pork Belly Steam Bun- delicious!! The chef's gumbo was chicken and mushroom- their gumbo is served over mashed potatoes instead of rice- it was really good and reminded me of a chicken stew.

    We had the frittata (takes 20 min to prepare but so worth the wait!), the breakfast sandwich and the oatmeal. All fantastic. Topped off with a world class biscuit.

    My favorite dishes were the Cracklin and the duck beignets. Tried about 5 plates and everything was excellently prepared. Try a "manmosa" too as well as the cheese plate! Mmmm will be returning!

    Moreso a 'Tapas Bar' with a wide array of "small bites" on the menu AND excellent service! My husband had the Fois Gras burger--- a spectacular presentation and oh-so-yummy!

    Apparently the menu changes constantly. Personally loved the beignets & purple beet salad. Both appetizers but we’re enough for dinner for 1

    The burger is delicious. The foie gras float is interesting, though subtle as far as foie gras goes. Skip dessert.

    Mmm the duck beignets really were amazing, and the bartender was extremely friendly with us (she was a fellow Canadian) and her signature cocktail w. maple syrup was delightful.

    The apple and pear salad with candied pecans and Camembert is nothing short of spectacular! Really. Portion sizes are normal not oversize and the cocktail were exquisite. Coming back here for sure!

    Sit at the bar and have Ms. Abigail make you something delicious. Can't go wrong with any of their gumbos which rotate on their menu.

    Ask Abigail to make a drink ... You only have to tell her what you normally drink and her creativity does the rest. Perfectly delicious every time!

    Overall good food experience. Steak was amazing, the vegetarian option not so much. Expensive but that is because of location, recommend setting reservations.
