He should have addressed all customers in the area in the vicinity of the inebriated guest that resulted in broken glass and the patrons tumbling to the floor.

Without reservations we were still seated right away. A wonderful jazz duo started playing right before our food was served and they were extremely talented. The biggest plus were they were not too loud as to make conversation difficult. Our food was served hot and very fresh. Everything was delicious! Fried chicken and biscuits were amazing and my daughter ordered the Buttermilk Biscuit Board. Again, everything was so well prepared and absolutely perfect. Very well deserving of all five stars!

Charming, quaint restaurant hidden away from the bustling streets…read more I ordered the Steak Frites and fried Brussel sprouts. We also took advantage of the price fixe menu with Lamb chops, french onion soup and Creme brule. Steak was really good if you like ribeye and the marbling that comes with it. The portion was generous and cooked well. Fries were crisp and plentiful. The brussel sprouts were some of the best I've ever had. Shoutout to our server, Jorlyn who was kind and attentive to our needs. Only super nit pickly thing is that the door doesn't automatically close, so some "unaware" guests left it open a few times welcoming in a curious fly. SO if you go, please be kind to the other guests and close the door behind you :)

The food and service were amazing!…read more Being in the tourist area, the food and service was not great.... But Izzat was diamond in the rough! Food: The people I was with ordered the lamb chops, steak frittes, chicken salad dish, roasted chicken, and a different sandwich dish and we all loved it!! Services: The place is an intimate restaurant, so I highly recommend making a reservation. But despite the close quarters, every person that worked there was so kind and helpful! The female server was so kind and helpful! I would go back just for the service alone, but every dish that we tried was amazing!!

I have a love/hate that they change their menu because I thought I did my due diligence and studied the menu and precious Yelp reviews to prepare what to order. But then the menu changed but it was fine bc Nico helped steer us to all the good stuff! We ordered a bunch of dishes and ate family style so we could try everything! The stand outs to me were the Pani Puri with the fiery mint water that you pour and lets you control the heat (you eat it in one bite), the Pork Dan Dan Buco Di Creste noodles (we asked not too spicy, we're getting older! Haha ), the Gulf Shrimp Pakora, and the ice cream pie from Lucy Boone! Mister Mao is where the old Dick and Jenny's restaurant used to be across from Rouse's on Tchoupitoulas. It's a little pricey but so worth it for a fancy night out!! And ask for Nico, he's the best!!

We came here for gals brunch a few months back. I loved the energy here. The staff, the bartender,…read morethe waiter are all quirky and fun. The decor kind of matches that energy. And so does their 'pics of cats' all over the menu. I am a cat person, so that won me over right there. They were running the special for a family style meal for $54 ++. You get to try so much, we decided to get 3 since there were 6 of us. I enjoyed the food more than the cocktails. The coffee cocktail was really not good and possibly my least fav coffee cocktail in the city. I think it needs a revamp. The ingredients are basically hoodoo chicory, it just tasted like all bitter. I didn't order any other drinks after that. I did try the gals drinks and they were all just ok. As for the food, I think the clear winner was the garlic noods. Not only did every slurp theirs up, fighting over it, almost all of us ordered a garlic noodle to go! That was top notch and I still thinking about that today! The dumplings were good, the shrimp was better than the rice dumpling. I enjoyed the ginger salad and fried chicken. It was an interesting fusion of flavors and a very fun atmosphere to be in. I will absolutely be back for the drool worthy garlic noodles.

Fantastic. A rare 5-star! If you find yourself looking for excellent food while in NOLA, this is…read morethe place. If You don't know what to look for, you will likely miss it. The red front door is the marker. Sorry for the lack of pictures, but we were so focused on the incredible food, we forgot to take food pics. Sorry. Look on Google. We go here every time we are in NOLA. The food is consistently excellent and it does not matter what you order. We have at least half the menu plus some specials and each time so happy. What makes the meal even more incredible is the servers. We seem to get a different one each time, so the show is different each time. When I say show, I mean the entertaining interaction you have with the staff. It's awesome. Not only do they know their menu, but also let their personalities run wild. The last guy actually served us dinner and grabbed a chair and told about his travels....like while we eating. Haha. So fun. The place isn't much and it doesn't need to be. It's a mush mash of art and paint and other stuff. AND IT ALL WORKS. it is comforting and interesting. All in all a great time and a great meal. A must go.....if you can find it. The red door!!!!

The tiny restaurant is located next to the spotted cat club and local art fare. We were hungry for…read moregood local food, and this hit the spot. You go up a steep staircase to tell the guy you want a table and he says he'll call/text when it's available. The food was delicious... especially the entrees. We started with an appetizer of mussels. These were small so there wasn't really enough for us each to be satisfied. Someone thought they were slightly overcooked. We ordered the flounder special with ocean sauce. The double flounder was topped with shrimp and wow, the special cajun ocean sauce was delicious! They said they are known for it and it's understandable why. My kiddo ordered the veal (with ocean sauce) and it was perfectly tender and also delicious. We also ordered the chicken parmesan which was very good as well. It took a while for the food to get to us but given the level of expertise by the chefs, it totally made up for any delay. All of the entrees come with either salad or pasta which hits the spot and is coursed very well. There is a bar downstairs where they had live music which was nice but not exactly what we wanted to listen to. Glad we went to dinner there because of all the amazing flavors. Had a great first night in the French Quarter of New Orleans due in large part to Adolfo's .

I was in search of a banh mi and happened to be near this spot so decided to pop in for a quick…read moreto-go order. Upside, the banh mi slapped and was honestly very well balanced, delicious. Also fyi they do have a tofu banh mi, it's just not listed on their menu. Downside, service...was a bit chaotic to observe while waiting for my order. The interior is small, very cute with some bench seating and the accompanying patio area outside has shaded tables, garden tables, etc. This spot has a mix of food offerings including coffee and pastries so perfect if you're looking for a small snack or more of a sit down lunch. As I mentioned earlier, I was hangry for a banh mi and my original spot was closed so this seemed like a solid option. I was able to ask about the tofu banh mi and put my order in quickly, but observed a couple of interesting interactions with the back of the house debating gluten free vs celiac disease and also handing my order to someone else by accident. The other customer thankfully came back with the order and swapped it for hers and had not touched/started eating mine so I just grabbed it and went off with it. Not the end of the world, but not the best interaction. The banh mi was honestly good enough for me to still rate this a 4/5, but was on the more expensive side. All in all, a bit of a mixed bag but who knows, perhaps I wandered in on a busy or hectic day so check it out and see what you think!

The counter server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I did have to ask someone to clean a table, but they did so promptly. Unfortunately, I went the day after Mardi Gras so they were sold out of the more popular options. Their happy hour is quite nice as well: half off appetizers and $5 off cocktails. I started with the Red Dragon, a red beet vodka cocktail that was quite pleasing. I also tried the Ginger Chicken Wonton Soup which was quite flavorful and full of spice, in a good way. I'd definitely visit again to try more items.

I'd previously sampled great bites from Chef/Owner Justin Devillier (2016 James Beard Award winner for Best Chef: South) at a guest dinner in Charleston, as well as from Exec Chef Joseph Tiedmann at a Farm Dinner in West Palm Beach. But this was my first visit to "the mother ship", housed in a historic century-old building. I decided to start with the Fried Gulf Oysters - Sofrito Purée, Chowchow & Pickled Sweet Peppers, and was glad I did. There's no shortage of oyster dishes in NOLA, and this was a big winner. Next up, when in the South, why not order Fried Green Tomatoes - Burrata, Country Ham & Oregano? Another terrific plate, perhaps the best FGT dish I've had! Finally, my "target dish" arrived, the Shrimp & Okra Gumbo with Andouille, Collard Greens & Popcorn Rice. Really, really good. Very dark roux, as I like, and with plenty of seafood flavor, but more depth as well. Definitely one of the best gumbos I've ever enjoyed. I was happy to visit La Petite Grocery at lunch, where they offer up the full menu available for dinner too, of course. Highly recommended, and I can't wait to return to try much much more.

Well started off great then just sizzled out…read more The tropical flip was a refreshing island oasis for the tongue, perfect to start with. The fried goat was great and savory almost like marrow. Wish the cheese was a little crunchier on outside for some contrast but enjoyed. The rabbit was almost tasteless. The mildest I've had and even the batter lacked flavor. Disappointing. All the accompaniments had all the flavor and were good. Especially the schnitzel noodles. The chocolate tart was a miss. Not like a Twix as someone mentioned. Almost impossible to stick your spoon through and I work out. Seriously shouldn't have to struggle that much. Needs a more flavorful crust, less caramel and more chocolate. They should rename this to caramel tart. The bday ice cream was fantastic and probably saved them from a 3 star review from me so I didn't have to leave on a negative note. The espresso wand was caked with milk froth which should never be. They did clean it but makes me think they don't clean after each pull. Should never see that.

Not sure how this is 4.8 stars. The food was not that good and definitely not worth the price…read more We paid $10 for a small cup of Greek soup that was mostly broth with a few small pieces of chicken and about 10 grains of rice. The lentle soup was $8 and was extremely bland. Canned soup tastes better. Paid $22 for the Greek salad which was good, I didnt realize it was not an actual salad, but a bowl of tomato, onion and cucumber in dressing. The chicken yerro pita for $15 was horrible. The chicken was dry, dark meat and very boring. Overall, not good. Service was lackluster and food horrible.

I felt very welcomed the minute I walked in. We shared Octopus with Fava and Ntolmadakia as appetizers - both were delicious. I particularly love the sauce that came with Ntolmadakia. I ordered the chicken yeeros with pita bread wrap. The wrap came with a stand, which was an interesting presentation. The chicken was well-seasoned and tender, and the pita bread was delicious too.
