    So I've lived here in the Kiln for about 5 years. Never ate here. Recently started working next…read moredoor. Anyways... first 3-4 days of work I went in occasionally for a drink/food etc... My fiancé did as well. Every time either of us went there we were met with glares, rude remarks and sub-par customer service. For example, one day he came by to buy me breakfast and bring it over to me... He asked a question, was met with a dry and crass remark. He said " I'm sorry I've never been here before." And the response he was given was "clearly..." Well to top it off I asked about a job, or hours they may have available due to needing work currently. Bills are over whelming and I'm usually open to most opportunities to make some extra money to support my family. First, I asked. I did ask about a job. For days no one called, and wasn't really any direct answer. Next, I received a call from the owner at night stating I could come in, make 8/hr and try it out and see what I thought... I'm assuming someone quit and they were in a bind. I did agree and said, " yeah I could come in and see what I think...thanks!" Next morning, for several reasons, I did not go. -pay -mom sick -others telling me I don't want to work for them. Anyways, because of this I didn't go in. I tried to call the owner to give him a heads up, due to money issues my phone was off. I had to hustle up some money and pay my phone card. Anyways fast forward to 2/3pm... I was met with 3 girls giggling, degrading and talking shit about the shop I was in. Glares, ignoring me when I asked if I could help them... and just all around rude and bitter comments. Ok, no big deal. Next some bigger woman, with a nasty attitude to match her appearance... walked in behind them to loud cap me about not showing for the shift, how I left them in a bind, and to ensure the guy I currently work for heard, was loud about the whole scenario telling me how horrible I was. And just all are round rude, petty, and distasteful. Ok again, I apologized tried to explain myself and offer some sense of remorse for my action and not justify my actions but ensure she knew I understand that they were left in a bind which was NOT my intentions... She didn't care. She was crappy. Rude. And just all around just as unpleasant as the food she serves. Well... that is not where is stopped with the immaturity and unprofessional actions. Next the OWNER walked in behind her to show me his phone. To let me... and my current boss know... that I didn't try to call and again loudly state I had tried to work for them, messed up their day and how awful I was... Ok... I didn't want to get into it about my finances, my phone being off about how I did try to reach out, my apologies... etc etc.. Again not rude, I said I'm sorry. I hope they know that and he made a crass comment, side eyed me and just said it's fine have a great day. This is the MOST unprofessional, petty, rude, immature, and arrogant and pathetic people I have ever met as a whole. And I thought just the food was bad..... Oh to add, I cleaned their windows 2 days prior to be "nice" due to the owner mentioning none of his employees had yet to do it. Well... no worries it was a kind gesture from me, they should take notes..:.

    I had the oyster plate with onion rings. The plate must have had 20 large oysters. They were well…read moreprepared and the onion rings were great. They also have meat and vegetables and they must be good because they did a bunch of takeout while I was there.

    Cafe Amelie is very popular with its charming courtyard, and also a beautiful interior, although it…read morecan get loud inside. Reservations are available 60 days in advance, and we booked exactly 60 days out and were grateful to have a lovely table in the courtyard on a perfect Sunday morning on the last day of Jazzfest. My husband got the breakfast sandwich, served on a croissant, which was delicious. I had the Couchon de Lait pork sandwich with side salad. I know it's very popular, but it was too salty and heavy for me. Bananas Foster waffles looked great, as did eggs Benedict. Reasonably priced. Really lovely way to start the day.

    We made a last minute reservation at Cafe Amelie after a tour ended. We had passed by it and it…read morelooked so cute and cozy inside. It was Taco Tuesday and a pop up night by the chef so we did not have the usual dinner menu. At first I was disappointed because I was not necessarily in the mood for Mexican and I had already decided on something from the menu online. We chose shrimp tacos and the brisket melt and decided to split them. We had our child with us so the option for her would be a cheese quesadilla. The food took a bit to come out - close to 40-45 minutes. When the food arrived our child had a veggie quesadilla instead of cheese. We could not wait the same amount of time for the correct order so we said we would feed her later. However the chef made one immediately. I appreciated the care they took with making the correction for us. Our food was fantastic! The tacos had a lot of shrimp and were so flavorful. The shrimp were also smaller so it made it easier to eat while ensuring shrimp in all the bites. I can't stand huge shrimp that fall out resulting in eating tortilla and garnish for the majority of bites. The brisket melt was so so good. My daughter (who can be limited in food repertoire) tried it and loved it. She then decided this was the best restaurant of our trip after those few bites. The ambiance is so cozy and warm. I loved the vibe and decor - almost like being in your Southern aunt's dining room. We will definitely plan to return when we head back to New Orleans to try the original menu or even another pop up if they have one.
