Small hidden spot and plus it's black owned! Had the crawfish beignets and the turkey necks. Everything was seasoned to perfection. Can't wait to come back and try more items.

A happy hour that doesn't disappoint! Strong drinks & low prices. Tapas are also tasty. Fun music + lively ambiance, def worth a stop in when strolling Oak st.

Jalapeño chicken wings that tasted like straight vinegar.

We came here with all intentions to enjoy this location. Walked oak street and came up ready to eat and drink. The drinks on the menu out front way $8 margaritas. When the bartender/ runner was asked about the discrepancy once he said that they were $10 he said, "I don't know what they're talking about, the drinks are $10" which is fine.. we came prepared to pay $10 but why is the marketing and the bar not aligning? We then ordered BBQ and the jalapeño wings and both orders tasted like vinegar.. I was just so confused. We saw the chef use his bare hands to place the bun onto someone's slider after it slid to the side (bacon included) and then the bartender touching the fruit from someone's drink with his fingers.. it was just absolutely too much... not a place that I would revisit or recommend. We were glad to see these things take place before we further ordered anything. Plenty of spots to visit in New Orleans.. this is not it.

Food & Service was great! Shout out to the turkey necks & Crawfishka!! Will definitely come back to try more!

I never knew this place location existed. I wish they would turn the AC up higher. I had a few samples of the food, and it was nice.

First let's start off with the ambience, the place is dark lit but in a good way it works very well…read moreeither way the aesthetics of the place. The food was great and the lamb chops was the best part of the meal, I highly recommend food full of flavor.

We had reservations on a Saturday night and were seated almost immediately. As we passed the bar I noticed they had a huge bourbon selection which is always cool. I ordered a "Well She Starts Monday" which is a cocktail made with Buffalo Trace, Cynar liqueur, and Fig Syrup. I was not a fan of this one, so I ordered an Old Fashioned for my second drink, and it was a little better. I got a Burrata for an appetizer which seemed like a caprese salad served with crispy bread triangles. This was really good. For an entree, I got Beef Wellington which until then I had never had. Mansplained, this is a steak cooked medium rare inside of a puff pastry with 2 different sauces on it. Phenomenally good! The atmosphere is really dark with low lighting, dark cherry wood everywhere. The music was bad and loud. If it was one or the other it would have been fine, but this was like if someone gave Yoko Ono glowsticks and said start and EDM band. The Husky is meant for a younger crowd. The food was 5 stars; the atmosphere and experience were probably more like 3 stars.

I made…read morea reservation but we were the only table occupied on a very slow night on Oak St. The servers were both friendly and attentive. The space is beautiful. We had a sampling of the food, 2 items from the cold bar and 2 from the small plates, plus dessert. The aguachile was the standout. The shrimp were delicious and the sauce was amazing. My friend had the pork dumplings which she said were delicious and I snitched a bit of the mole which was also amazing. The caprese bruschetta was also very good and a slightly different version than the usual. The only dish that was just OK was the red ceviche; and it was tasty, but just more vegetables than fish. We also had the tres leches for dessert and it was really good. We both had a cocktail. I had a mojito and my friend had the aguasanta. The bartender made sure she knew that the base alcohol was moonshine. Both drinks were very good too. Parking is on the street.

Decided to stop here on my way to dinner for happy hour. Love the ambiance and feeling inside. I…read moresat at the bar and ordered an espresso martini which was delicious!

Located in the Kimpton Hotel Fontenot, it is actually a nice restaurant that has a lot of charm…read more Located away from the nose and bustle of Bourbon Street, we had a peaceful dinner that is not fried or wholly unhealthy (i.e. greasy). The presentation of the food came was amazing. We ordered the linguine and added meatballs, which was well worth it. We also ordered the shrimp & grits, which included Brussels sprouts. Boy, it was sure nice to get some vegetables in my stomach after eating all that yummy fried food during our stay! All in all, both dishes were delicious. It is a little on the pricey side, but after several days of eating in the touristy area of the French Quarter, this was truly a welcome change. Service was polite and attentive. I always appreciate the staff's efforts by making simply making eye contact and smiling (which they did). Seems trivial but I think those small things says a lot about a business. I would recommend this restaurant even if you are not a guest of the hotel.

The ambiance is amazing, plus velvet, emerald and sapphire tone, glitzy, and feels like a good photo op. The bar and cocktail menu looked expansive. However, I was going to be hopping on a meeting, so I could not partake, unfortunately. A group got this impressive tower of espresso martini and everyone seemed to be enjoying their drinks! I wanted that New Orleans seafood but had late lunch, so I opted for just the crispy gulf shrimp on cheesy grits. I really wished I can hungrier because the dish ended up being very heavy. The shrimp were nice and crispy. The charred Brussels sprouts gave me the false sense that this was a healthy dish because I was getting my veggie intake. The bacon jam was sweet and went well with the Brussels sprouts. I loved the combination of the cheesy grits and the Crystal hot sauce. It was the perfect amount of both and some how led me to understand why Americans put hot sauce on their Mac n cheese and some other cheesy dishes after 30 years of not really understanding the attraction to that combo. I got the marinated olives to go so I could have a little snack later. They were just stuff I feel I could get in a jar... not really sure if I could justify the price. I think this is a fine place if you're looking for a photogenic night out drinking with a group of friends. Could be really cute for brunch!
