We arrived…read moreabout ten minutes early and found the entranceway to the speakeasy by the clue given which was such a cool experience. Once in the restaurant, we went to the bar and got their amazing Golden Gatsby cocktail. It was sweet and fruity and had a nice kick to it. The bartender made great drinks our entire visit. I also got an old fashioned which was great. We ordered the beef wellingtons minis and the duck confit tacos which were very yummy. There were not a lot of people there at all. It was us and another couple. We did not have any long wait times at all which was one of the reasons I chose an earlier reservation time not a time later in the afternoon. The ambiance was perfect for date night and the vibe was very intimate. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic evening with their significant other!

I believe they offer happy hour all day on Sundays, and the happy hour menu includes several great drink options. I would definitely come back and grab a seat at the bar.

I decided on the triple threat enchiladas with chicken topped with green chile sauce and two side of beans.

No complaints as our waitress kept checking on us and the place was crowded at all nor overly noisy. The place was dimly lit and restaurant and restrooms were clean. The food was seasoned ok. Just your typical local college restaurant fare.

When you read the reviews below, most people know what this restaurant is and how it works. My…read moreresponse is less harsh about the service or it's overpriced charcuterie board concept. I have lived in BR for 6 years now. Many departments at LSU take guests there and in that time, Building 5 has done nothing to improve its parking lot. The restaurant sits underneath an overpass and the parking is pothole marked unpaved gravel. This means that there is no room for wheelchairs or accommodations for anyone who is differently-abled to get into the restaurant. The whole restaurant makes no room for handicapped persons. On the occasion I did get food, the food is slightly overpriced. All meats were cooked adequately but the food was lukewarm probably owing to sitting in the kitchen under the heat lamp than being delivered promptly. When I have gone, I regularly have to ask for refills on soda as I am the designated driver often for department functions. Servers pay you no heed if you do not buy alcohol. Because I go here because of academic reasons, I would barely go here myself. I've been here many times and found it wanting. It's an ableist place in its infrastructure. It's fine I'm atmosphere as a cocktail bar but would little recommend it to people I call friend.

Was ignored and overlooked. Once I finally talked to our waiter she stated that "we needed to order by 9:30 because the kitchen was closing at 9:30 and that she hope we don't want steak because they are out" then I stated that we had been there since 7 so that was unfair then we finally ordered cool. Friend wanted to order something at 9:25 was denied that saying that the kitchen was closed however was told prior that the kitchen closed at 9:30. Couple of friends went to the bar and was ignored too. When I finally talked to the waitress she said that it was because they were super busy however we were there when the crowd died down she still did not acknowledge us at all she threw some menus on the table and never came back, I had to find her . That's just very inconvenient and very distasteful. We were also the only minority not saying it is a race thing however it came across that way. I was way too excited to come and try this place out just to be ignored and looked over. Didn't get the experience I want it and this is very disappointing.

Relaxed upscale atmosphere with fresh ingredient ingenious cocktails. Friendly staff that can even create something for you on the fly. The interior has exposed brick front wall, exposed wooden columns, and is tastefully decorated with old pictures of Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra to give you that real home feel. There's a relatively long bar with barstools and comfortable lounge seating in the main room. There is a small patio outback for the beautiful days, and there's an upstairs (usually reserved for private parties) with its own bar and an overlook of the Mississippi River. They are open everyday and usually offer a seasonal cocktail menu for Christmas, Halloween etc. If you are downtown looking for a craft cocktail, this is a great place to sit back and enjoy a fresh ingredient cocktail.
