About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Charming
August is a Contemporary Creole restaurant creating unique dishes with a focus on Louisiana ingredients and inspired by classical training. Located in a historic 19th century French-Creole building in New Orleans’ Central Business District, the main dining room caters to the most unique dining experience. The interior is rich with original architectural details, gleaming hardwood floors, soaring columns, mahogany paneling and antique mirrors.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Corey Thomas

From the OpenTable editors: August remains the flagship restaurant within the BRG Hospitality group, and it’s a grande dame dining room of New Orleans. The building rose tall in the 1830s, and the elegant space features mahogany panels and antique mirrors. The modern Creole menu offers a chef’s tasting in seven courses, from red snapper crudo to lavender panna cotta. The team also has a reputation for impeccable service, earning a couple of James Beard nominations in the past decade.

    One of the very best restaurants in New Orleans. All of the dishes are delicious, creative, and beautifully presented. The only problem is trying to decide what to order since everything is equally tempting. Service is just as good as the food. And the dining rooms fit the food and the service.

    Our experience at August was outstanding! My daughter and I were celebrating Easter, early graduation, and time being together. It was within walking distance to our hotel on Poydras, and dishes were so unique. I especially loved the crawfish tarte, Red Snapper, and the August chocolate bar for dessert. Its not always easy finding a restaurant that checks off all the boxes for service, ambiance, quality of dishes, flavor, great location. Truly amazing!

    We had another amazing and memorable meal here. This place is now on our must-do list anytime we come to New Orleans. The food is delicious, inventive, and sometimes even playful. You can feel their passion for what they're doing in every bite. The service is also top notch. I would be shocked if they're not included in the upcoming Michelin Guide.
