Dessert ended with a Pistachio cheese cake that was dense but not heavy, almost like a warm brownie could be. Delicious cocktails made a tailored list hard yet fun to choose from. Last but not least, the atmosphere is calming, Zasu's filled dinning room had a dampening effect where every table had their own private converstation. Zasu could be my home away from home! 10/10, 7 days a week would recommend!

I started with the hamachi crudo which was delicious. If I had stopped there I would've left happy because the flavors and textures were great! Of course I didn't stop there and the subsequent courses were also just as delightful. I had the day's special which was triple tail with potatoes, kale and shitake mushrooms with a spicy beurre blanc sauce that was also really good! We finished dinner with the apple crumb cake and butter pecan ice cream. It was the perfect culmination to a great dinner. I definitely will be adding Zasu to my rotation of great restaurants I frequent in the city.

Salads are great and the portions on everything are generous. I eat here regularly, usually by myself, and always enjoy the family feel the staff gives the place.

I initially thought this was a restaurant, but it's really more of a cocktail lounge with a limited…read morefood menu. We started with the chicken pâté, which was excellent, and the focaccia bread was an A+. For our entrees, we ordered the burger and fries and the steak frites. The portions were on the smaller side, and both dishes were heavily salted. The burger was tasty, but at $20, it felt overpriced for what it was. The steak frites was rich and would have been much better with less salt. The atmosphere was also a challenge. Inside was very crowded and quite loud, while outside was too hot to be comfortable. Our server was pleasant but wasn't very attentive, likely because she was managing five or more tables in our section. Overall, while the appetizers were the highlight of the meal, the entrees, service, and atmosphere left us underwhelmed.

Kimmy's prices are very reasonable and she aims to meet special dietary needs like keto. Kinky is very customer service oriented and enthusiastic wanting to do anything her customers need. I had a soup and sushi the other day and a breakfast sandwich this morning. They were fresh, ample and inexpensive. I like that there are lots of small options when you want something but not a huge meal. There are lots of grab and go items or you can pause for something made for you. A great new addition to our building.

Hot & Soul was so flavorful.... just like all the reviews before mine promised!…read more The vibe is super chill. No frills, just really good food on Banks Street, right by Trader Joe's. There was also plenty of street parking, which made getting in and out easy. I love a good twist on an Old Fashioned, and the Pho Old Fashioned definitely delivered. It was unique, balanced, and a fun way to start the meal. The patatas bravas came out piping hot with perfectly seasoned potatoes that were crispy on the outside and tender inside. Now let's talk about the chicken adobo... YUM. The flavor was absolutely incredible. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The sauce was packed with flavor, and spooning it over the rice made every bite even better. It's one of those dishes I'd come back specifically to order again. They also have weekday happy hour starting at 3:30 PM, which is a nice bonus. Overall, this was a fantastic meal. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, and everything we tried was packed with flavor. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu!

How do you categorize a restaurant that offers a full menu of Mexican food, a full menu of Italian food, a full menu of local fare and American classics, AND why not throw a little Asian food in as well. Now, do all of it VERY WELL, and you have quite the conundrum when you sit down to eat. "What am I in the mood for?" Luckily, you can mix and match to your heart's desire. Garbage nachos and Thai ribs? Sure! Chicken alfredo with a couple of tamales? No prob. A good steak with a Cuban quesadilla? Why not? The possibilities are endless. Now, mix in some killer drinks, and we're talking about somewhere you'll want to bring all your friends who can't decide what they want. It's all there for them, and if they can't find something at Blue Tomato, you might want to reconsider your friends. The service staff at BT is wonderful and homey. I always feel like a local when I eat there. It's comfortable and quaint whether you're eating seared tuna with a margarita or a batch of wings with a Mic Ultra. Lunch is actually my favorite time to visit. Quick service and reasonable prices make this a lunch destination. You might need to ensure you have a refrigerator at work though...the serving portions are generous. So, what are you waiting for? Is it lunchtime yet?

The menu certainly goes all over the map with its dishes and that seems to leave some less than excellent execution but generally they pull off "ok" to "very good" food. The service here always seems to be very good and the ambiance is a unique mix that gives it a fun vibe. The burger and lasagna are decent and the Italian and Mexican style food can often be quite nice. The New Orleans food is typically good and they usually have rotating daily specials. Overall this is great spot when you have a group of people that all want something different. Warren Zevon would really enjoy this place!

Last night's dinner at Toups Meatery was the kind of meal that reminds you why this place is such a…read moreNew Orleans staple. From the moment we sat down, the staff set the tone--professional, genuinely friendly, and impressively efficient. We began with a trio of starters that showcased both richness and restraint. The foie gras torchon was silky and indulgent, perfectly complemented by fruit confiture and warm, toasted Bellegarde Bakery bread--a classic pairing done right. Marinated crab claws, dressed in a lively chili vinaigrette, delivered a bright, briny punch, while the pickled pineapple and jalapeño chips added just the right balance of sweetness and heat. A cucumber salad rounded out the starters, crisp and refreshing, acting as a welcome palate reset before the mains. For entrées, comfort and finesse shared the plate. The confit chicken thighs were meltingly tender, paired with ham-braised greens swimming in a tangy apple cider vinegar broth. A lovely Dijon cream tied everything together, adding richness without overwhelming the dish. Equally memorable was the half smoked duck, beautifully executed and deeply flavorful, served over a smooth pumpkin-sweet potato purée. The cherry bourbon glaze brought a subtle sweetness, while the pepitas added texture and a nutty finish. Dessert was the perfect exclamation point on an already wonderful meal: a slice of hot chocolate cheesecake, decadent and deeply chocolaty, crowned with toasted marshmallow fluff that leaned just enough into nostalgia without crossing into excess. Toups Meatery continues to deliver thoughtful, soulful cooking with polish and heart--comfort food elevated, served by a team that clearly knows what they're doing. A thoroughly satisfying experience from start to finish.

I'd never even heard of the place, and after experiencing it, I honestly don't know how that's possible. We walked in to a packed house and got lucky, snagging two seats at the bar. We started with cocktails: the Hole Molé (Milagro Reposado, Ancho Reyes Verde, red pepper, lime, cocoa bitters) and the Charlotte (jalapeño infused vodka, Combier d'Orange, lemon, lime, strawberry). I loved my Hole Molé, but the Charlotte had a nice kick to it, like a spicy, refreshing fruit punch. Yum. We split a bowl of turtle soup. It was good, but not great; solid, though missing something we couldn't quite put our finger on. The sandwiches, on the other hand, were pure perfection. I had the duck pastrami with added Gruyere and Russian dressing on the side, and she had the meatloaf sandwich. More yum. Rosedales is a genuinely cool neighborhood spot with fantastic customer service. Staff and fellow diners alike were incredibly friendly. If I lived closer, I'd be a regular without question.
