Service: You're going to walk into this restaurant and feel like you're the most important customer they've ever had. We were greeted before we ever made it through the door by a gentleman dressed very nicely (with a bow tie!). He took us to our table and immediately took our drink order then explained the specials and answered our questions about some of the items on the menu. Service was genuine, friendly, fast and thorough. Food: first and foremost both our meals were delicious! I love the fact that they came out fast and hot. The pork chops (you get two with your order!) were amazing - juicy, flavorful and cooked to perfection, the chef made a sweet potato chutney that was out of this world! The Mac and Cheese was flavorful and the ratio of noodles to cheese was perfect (I love the fact that it was baked on top!). If you select a meal that offers the sweet potatoes as a side dish, trust me, you're not going to wanna miss this opportunity for the best sweet potatoes you've ever had. Both the manager and the chef visited with us for a bit, representing the best in southern hospitality. We felt like we were eating at somebody's home as invited guests versus your typical rushed service. We'll be back on our next visit to New Orleans!

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!

Came here during the Nola Miles Club food crawl and had the turkey neck pepper preserve! It was very delicious. Great music playing as well.

Wish the ventilation was a bit better and not a fan of the crawfish corn fritters. Turkey neck was solid but mostly bone

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.

Had my bachelor weekend this past weekend in NOLA and heard about this place last week. They were…read moreable to get my party of 8 in for a 5pm reservation, but it really didn't take away from the experience. As soon as you walk in, the plush 70's style upscale steakhouse vibe takes over. We had a variety of dishes including steaks, risotto, a cheese stick toped with caviar and gold leaf, a dessert that looked like a charcuterie board, even a burger. Everything was fantastic from beginning to end. Everyone loved their cocktails and the brownie dessert was out of this world. Our server was Diamond - she was friendly and super attentive. I don't have any plans to visit NOLA again at the moment, but when I do they will definitely involve a repeat visit. One of the best meals I've had in quite some time!

This WAS one of my favorite restaurants in the city, until recently. On my most recent visit after…read morehaving been a handful of times, some very questionable things happened. Even though the food and ambiance were fantastic, we noticed a teachable moment with a bartender-server who climbed up on top of the back bar to stock some higher shelves. The bottom of his shoes on top of the bar right next to clean bar glasses facing down on the counter was shocking to see. We watched this all unfold hoping he would thoroughly wipe down the counter with disinfectant when he was done and stepped down. BUT when he was finished, he did not clean the surface that he had just been standing on and that was very disturbing to see. We kindly asked our server (who was not this bartender we watched do this) to speak with a manager. We mentioned what we witnessed to the manager and suggested some additional sanitation training be considered and to maybe wait until after closing to do things that require standing on top of the bar in front of customers eating AT the bar. It was the end of our meal and we were waiting on the check, so we asked the manager to wait until After we left to address this with the employee. However, the manager literally immediately went to the bartender who was in our view in the back area and we could see the conversation happening right then. The bartender then came back behind the bar looking visibly upset, not making eye contact with us and he did not ever get around to cleaning the bar area that he had just been standing on top of with the filthy bottoms of his shoes. He just walked right by it and left it unclean. I've worked and managed in the restaurant industry and understand that mistakes happen and it is all about how you make them right when things go wrong. Having both the bartender and the manager be disappointing in how they handled this situation was disconcerting. I wish I could unsee and un-experience what I saw because I honestly enjoyed this place and have introduced several friends to The Husky. But sanitary faux pas that are not immediately corrected are hard to over look. All that being said, the whole snapper chef special was delicious and beef short ribs were quite tasty as well. The daily crudo special was just okay.

Jolie is a bar with its own ambiance whether you're there for dinner or drinks its vibey mood sets…read morethe tone. My friend had reservations for 7. We planned to have dinner here and was seated in a casual area with lower tables. While nice to sit for a casual drink was not up to par for parties who planned to dine in. Our first server we asked to move had declined our request. Stating there wasn't any room to accommodate. Which to be fair is fair when it's a Saturday night. However, we had made reservations and was astonished this wasn't an accommodation for a party they knew was coming in ahead of time. Thankfully, my friend went up to the host to request a table change, and was eventually accommodated with a booth. Booth can sit 6 people comfortably and 7 was a tad squish so they immediately offered an ottoman for someone to sit in the end. Food was delicious, most of us ordered the steak and frites.

With its very low,…read moreromantic lighting, it makes for a perfect date night or a fun girls' night out and it feels gives a sense of privacy. ​The appetizers, entrées, and craft cocktails were all great. However, a few of our drinks took longer than expected to arrive, which temporarily paused the fun and conversation while we wondered where they were. That aside, the staff were all very pleasant. You'll find street parking and there were some parking garages within walking distance.
