An excellent brunch option is the Risotto w/Arugula & Chantarelle made with foraged wild chanterelle, local arugula, carnaroli rice, white wine, butter, olio, 24 month reggiano, & veggie stock.
Don't worry about waiting for a table - sit by the bar for some of the best service around. Wood grilled and Tchoupitoulas oysters, duck gumbo, and homemade bread rolls are all insanely good.
The bolognese served during Restaurant Week was the best I've ever had, def would recommend. Great service, fantastic wine list - will come back again.
Ask for the burrata appetizer. Made with 3 kinds of kale (one flash-fried for crunch), sweet apples, smoky nuts and tart tamarind-honey dressing, it's a vegetarian capable of satisfying any carnivore. Read more.
Omg the quesadillas and the braised beef tacos de gaudero are great! I loved the chicken enchiladas with Verde sauce as well!!!!
