This iconic eatery offers guests an authentic taste of Louisiana through an exquisite menu brimming with local favorites and classic dishes, all crafted with an artisan’s touch.

From the very first bite, you are enveloped in a world of vivid flavors and comforting textures.

The restaurant’s Shrimp and Grits offers a creamy, soulful experience, where tender Gulf shrimp meld with buttery, stone-ground grits heightening every forkful. Seafood lovers will relish the Seafood Station, brimming with fresh, expertly prepared selections like Crab Cakes and the delightful Crawfish and Shrimp Pasta.

The brunch offerings here elevate the standard fare with dishes such as the indulgent Seafood Orleans Eggs Benedict and the unique Southern favorite, Boudin Balls.

    We had the best dinner of our New Orleans trip tonight! Kevin our server was one of the best servers I have ever had in the United States and the food was first class. In fact it was in a class of its own! Highly recommend! He also made our birthday celebration so very memorable!

    Loved the live jazz, great options on the buffet. Turtle soup and many other local favorites in addition to the usual breakfast/brunch fare! We were able to eat without reservations. The courtyard was beautiful but we sat inside where we could hear the music better. Excellent service!

    A wonderful evening dining experience with twinkling lights overhead and a jazz band playing at a nearby hotel. We started with sharing a table side prepared Caesar salad. Ashley, our server, playfully prepared a delicious salad describing each ingredient as she whisked it all together. We followed the salad with Blackened Redfish served with a creole shrimp fried rice. The fish and rice were served atop a tasty pineapple beurre blanc. The fish was perfectly seasoned and plentiful. It’s a dish I will dream about it was that delicious. We were lucky to have Ashley as our server and had lots of fun bantering with her.

    Definitely recommend. Food was amazingly delicious. All the staff were personable, friendly and helpful. It's upscale buffet style with a great options and outdoor dining on the brick patio. Everything was amazing. But I recommend Definitely putting the curry chicken on the plate and definitely try the banana foster for dessert, you won't be disappointed.

    Jazz Brunch on a slow summer Monday. Great food. Great waiter service for drinks and order/delivering omeletts. Priced at $36, there was a great selection on the buffet. Water is free but juice is $3.00 per glass. Alcoholic beverages are priced accordingly with a great selection at the bar and a huge drink menu. Norton was our main waiter, and he had a partner assist with water refills and clearing of plates. The outdoor garden terrace seating was wonderful even on a hot August day. The 3pc Jazz band was a nice touch that provided a wonderful music backdrop. Made to order omlette or eggs benedict waa a fan favorite of our table. All staff were pleasant and attentive at every touch point. Parking in the quarter is always exhausting. But it is the FQ. We parked at the closest lot and it was $31 for 2 hrs on a Monday morning. Would I return again? Probably not. But I checked it off my list of places to eat. Would I recommend to friends? Absolutely. Was everything perfect? Pretty dang close. My only beef was the upcharge on the juice, but $3 is still reasonable. There is a 3.75% convenience fee for using a credit card instead of cash. Thank you CO2S's for a great friends breakfast to wrap up our wedding weekend as our families went their seperate ways.
