About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for brunch
  • Innovative
In the late 1800’s, Royal Street was home to a famous “curio” shop, a place where curiosities from all over the world could be had for a dollar or two. Today, the shop is no more, but the feeling of excitement and wonder still exists on Royal Street today. And so in the heart of the most premier art district in New Orleans, we’re bringing back the curiosity – reintroducing New Orleans to a circus of flavor so vibrant it makes other restaurants nearby pale in comparison.

    The table serving team were excellent, however it took 1hr for our entree to arrive even though the restaurant was not very busy. They generously compensated us for the late arrival of the food but it made the whole experience very disappointing.

    We were seated next to front door and there was an extremely loud street performer right out the door. We could not even hear ourselves think much less talk amongst ourselves. Drinks were good. Food was very so so. The waiter was awesome- very friendly and checked on us often. Just wish we had a better table location.

    The good was fine but our server was spectacular and very patient with all of the food allergies of one of our party. The street singer right on the corner was too loud for us in the balcony. I would eat here again.

    The food was great and so was our server! It just took a while to receive our drinks and food. The upstairs patio was a great location!

    The food was delicious. We sat on the balcony as a jazz parade went by and it was the perfect New Orleans experience
