Eater: Even if it wasn’t a successful job training program for at-risk kids, the food here would still be incredibly delicious, old-school New Orleans soul food. [Eater 38 Member]
Laura White: Get the mac and cheese. And if you're here, be sure to ask what Cafe Reconcile is all about. It's much more than good food.

Erin Lane: Load up on wine, cheese and charcuterie in the shop up front then settle in for a night of live music. Everything ordered off the menu out back was delish, too. This place is perfection.
Wesley Verhoeve: My favorite in all of NOLA. So much atmosphere and cheese
Eater: Known for its al fresco dining ala Bywater with live music, skeeters, and a slew of rickety furniture, Bacchanal offers a seasonal menu of exquisite small plates on the cheap. [Eater 38 Member]
