Restaurant Rebirth

What a great dining experience.
We started off with some light cocktails that were nicely balanced and refreshing.
The shrimp and eggplant appetizer was one that was recommended and was something I have never seen paired together.
It was a nice dish paired well with a slightly sweet and rich sauce.
The gumbo was definitely a hit and is one of the best I've tried and pairs perfectly with their sweet cornbread that is provided for the table.
The pork chop with green beans was alright but we feel the green beans could have been better seasoned on the savory side (they were slightly sweet).
The cut of the day was a mouth watering strip steak that was cooked to perfection and was another stand out dish of the night.
We paired it with the chimichurri sauce which helped freshen up the rich steak and was also a welcomed pairing to the pork chop.
To end we tried the coffee flavored creme brûlée with beignets on top.
It was a unique take on the classic French dish that seemed inspired by the famed "café du monde" pairing.
The service was outstanding and it was a pleasure watching this team work together to push out dishes during the late dinner rush.
If I lived in the area, I would definitely return for another meal.

Owner response

Please you MUST visit! The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is soothing and truly Nola.
However the service is truly what sets it apart.
Please ask for HOKE, truly personable, elegant and hospitable.
I booked my reservation at the table to request for Hoke.
He is absolutely fantastic and he was not serving us food.
He created an experience for us.
Truly an asset to the restaurant & lucky!

Definitely quality food and great service.
Ate alone at the bar which was a great opportunity to mingle with other guests.
They were telling me that they are the #1 Steakhouse in the city and the filet didn't disappoint.
Guest next to me had the pork belly and the double pork chop.
Both looked excellent and there were no leftovers.
Wines by the glass left something to be desired but the bottle list is good.
