“The bar evokes the feeling of drinking in New Orleans.”
Drinks
We enjoy a good drink (or four), and we serve what we like – variations on classic, forgotten, and high-school-era cocktails; wines you can feel good about, celebratory bubbles, and the coldest beer in town.
Food
Let by executive chef, Alex Harrell, the dining menu is concise, and everything on it is what you want. It leans on oysters and fruits de mer, caviar, an exceptional smash burger, lobster frites, our mom’s famous pralines, and gumbo till it runs dry.
“The restaurant is housed in an 1800s maritime chandlery, a three-floor space that gets you in the mood to try out the bevy of oysters from all coasts, caviar, and lobster frites ”
