    The food was wonderful but the servicer’s attitude was horrible. Our reservation was set for the opening of the restaurant so there weren’t many patrons in her section. Out of 8 tables, only three, two-person settings were occupied. Mikayla S. was snappy and it genuinely felt as though she did not want to be there. Because of the holiday, the plan was tip generously just out of appreciation. We left it at the 20% mandatory gratuity.

    This food is not very mediocre, the portions are small and no good reason to share. I cannot think of any reason to prefer this restaurant to the many other good choices in New Orleans.

    We sat outside. Other than traffic and loud car radios and motors noise was low. Food was very good, service very good and a very nice place.

    Our waitress was fine- but not friendly and seemed like she didn’t want to be at work ???? Maybe it was just an off day. Risotto was amazing. Funghi(sp?) pizza yummy butbsoooo garlicky- beware! Overall would recommend and would come back.
