About this restaurant

  • Fancy
  • Good for special occasions
  • 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 best dining experiences my boyfriend and I have ever had. From the moment we sat down the staff was kind and attentive. The food presentation was exquisite and the combination of flavors was mind blowing. We were celebrating my birthday and every person that came to our table acknowledged the occasion and made it a very special evening. Thank you to Jordan, Annabelle and the entire BOH for an unforgettable night!

    Amazing food and service. Would like to see a little more value for dollar as portion size could be a little better. For example, gnocchi app was incredible but it wouldn’t add tremendous cost to include a few more on the plate. Also, fish was outstanding but plate was sparse given side dishes are not available as an option the plate should have had some starch to go with it. But overall incredible food. Why is their 3% admin fee added to bill by the way these prices are high enough to be covering that I would think. All restaurants have admin cost it’s part of doing business.
