The place was beautiful, fresh flowers, staff workers new their job and if you wanted anything, they got it. Miss the place, it drew in business from all over and was a item for a small town.

This place is quintessential New Orleans! If you're looking for great food and a cool place to hang…read moreout, this is it. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, which makes it perfect whether you want a relaxed brunch or just a fun place to grab cocktails. The building itself is an old house that's been turned into lodging and a restaurant, which adds so much charm and character. If you're visiting NOLA, this is definitely a must-visit spot. Inside, the décor is eclectic, fun, and full of personality. It's the kind of place where you can comfortably sit at the bar for cocktails, enjoy a meal, or just relax. There are several side rooms with couches and seating areas, which makes it great for meeting friends, family, or colleagues to unwind after a busy day--or even just popping in while strolling around the city. We went for Saturday brunch, and the menu isn't huge--which I actually love because it means everything is done well. There were plenty of options, including gluten-free and vegetarian choices. The seating is comfortable and spaced out so you don't feel crowded by other diners. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything was really good. The cocktails were also excellent--generous pours and well made. After brunch, we walked out back to the pool area and enjoyed another cocktail while soaking in the beautiful day. It was the perfect ending to a great brunch experience. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place with great food, great drinks, and a uniquely New Orleans!

I booked a "Staycation" here for my 50th birthday...I am a NOLA native and live on Magazine about a…read moremile away...We drove over in the golf cart (Yep, we're one of those people). The stay was *beyond my expectations* (we had been there before for drinks but not to the hotel part). Every single person we encountered on staff was SO kind and fun from the moment we walked in. Started the evening at the bar, which had a great mix of neighbors/regulars (with cute dogs) and tourists. The liquor selection and cured cocktails are magical. We checked into Room #4, which was perfect. Every room at the hotel has a record player, a Marshall external mini amp/speaker and the best mini bar selection...just knowing it was there was awesome (we did eventually cave in and enjoy some flavored pretzel twists). Dinner was SO yummy. Our waiter, Jasper, was a rock star...He arranged for a nice surprise birthday beverage. We had the gumbo (a meal in itself that was so good we saved half of it to take home and ended up devouring it cold from the mini fridge before we left the next morning...it was *that good*), the goat cheese app (the bread and the honey poured on top was divine), the stuffed redfish (once I was done with my meal, the empty plate almost looked like it was licked clean...Although tempted, I was actually able to keep my composure and not do that...) and the double stack burger (also saved to bring home and perfect for a snack this evening). The room was the ideal hideaway (located at the back of the second floor) for our little staycation. We jammed out to Muddy Waters on the turntable while getting ready (next time, we are going to borrow one of their themed record stacks...It was a work night...Monday...so we had to keep things low key). It was super easy to sign into streaming apps on the room TV...After dinner, we watched the end of the NFL Playoff game and then Netflixed and Chilled. Even though there was a large-ish reception going on downstairs, we heard nothing from our room. The breakfast (included with the room) was the perfect way to start my work day the next day. It arrived right at the selected time. Delicious coffee, eggs, breakfast potatoes and crispy bacon. The hotel wifi was great. I worked for a few hours from the room (they have a generous 1:00 pm check-out time) before we headed back home. I love the jewel toned decor, repurposed furniture and quirky ambiance (artwork, photographs, hidden/not so hidden alligator motif). They give you a *real key* for the room, which is a nice retro touch. The shower was delightful, the bedding clean, crisp and comfy. I could not think of a better way to spend the first day of the 50th year of my life. We will be planning another staycation soon when it's a little warmer and we can also enjoy the pool :) Thank you, folks at The Chloe!

This is the second time we've taken this boat cruise. We got so much out of it before that we…read morewanted to take our son. This is a traditional paddlewheel boat with three levels. The top level has a bar counter and tables under a canopy. Up front there are benches so you are looking straight ahead as you travel. The middle level has a nice indoor dining room. You can order traditional Louisiana dishes. Outside the dining room are benches. We chose to sit on the top level facing forward, but it was so cold in front, we moved to the tables in the rear. There is a wonderful narrator letting you know when you pass interesting sites. The Domino Sugar factory that you pass is really something to see, and it's hard to believe it's still in use. They make a stop at the Chalmette Battlefield (you can get off the boat or stay and relax on the boat). There is a tour guide who talks about the battleground, which is pretty interesting. The best thing about the Creole Queen is the narrator. After the battlefield, the second half of the tour focuses on Hurricane Katrina. He wants that it can be disturbing and announced that if you didn't want to hear it, you can go to the dining room, as it isn't broadcasted in there. He is very candid, and I learned so much about the terrible way Hurricane Katrina was handled, as well as just how terrible the hurricane was. It was very, very sad. I highly recommend this tour. As I said, we enjoyed it so much the first time that we wanted to go back and share it with our son.

Valet is the easiest parking option through them at $50 a day. The only thing I would mention is that the TV is just a few channels.

I did not enjoy my stay at this establishment despite really liking my room…read more Good: Nice sized and updated rooms. Bad: Bar and restaurant were never open while there. Zero places to obtain water other than overpriced water bottles is tacky. Pool IS NOT heated. Front desk staff were unfriendly. Fitness room was not cleaned daily and amenities were not restocked. Horrible: overcharged me from an agreed-upon rate for a prepaid room and was unwilling to refund me the difference nor allow me to cancel the reservation since it was prepaid. I ended up disputing with my credit card company and was successful. That was terrible on their part and in my opinion, not even legal.

We spent quite a lot of time at the distillery, including our first time when taking the tour…read more When we first looked around at the products, I saw this one called "Gingeroo", which was said to be a spicy beverage. So the entire time of the tour, I could not wait to get back to the tasting area and try it out. From the very first sip, I fell in love with this stuff, bought 2 bottles to go back to MD. It didn't take long to finish those, so I actually ordered 3 more to be shipped to me. Since they wouldn't ship alcohol to MD, I scheduled them to be delivered near our WV cabin, so what do they do?? They shipped them, but I still actually had to go to CUMBERLAND, MD to pick up the box!!! Anyway, every year on our trips to New Orleans, we'd stop by the distillery and buy at least 3 cases of Gingeroo, and I still have a few botles left, but it'll really be a sad day when that last bottle is opened. Most of my friends do not see what's to like about Gingeroo and they can't understand just why I love this stuff - I get teased a lot about it, but, hey, not everyone likes the same things. Due to their fire and closing of distillery, I will always be upset at myself for not buying more cases. The owner is an artist, and a very good one at that, so I guess he's just wanting to concentrate on that. But, I will always be so sad that the distillery is no longer open.

I liked that the head distiller was on site and was a New Orleans native. Tastings were plenty and I probably never would have tried these different types of rum otherwise.
