What a fun date night destination! Drinks were amazing and not too pricy, even though we missed happy hour. We had the smoked trout drip (it was to die for). Cocktails were well balanced and beautifully presented! I can’t wait to bring my family here when they come visit New Orleans!

What an excellent stop on a trip to New Orleans! I was pleasantly surprised to find somewhere that took such care in the guest's experience via warm hospitality, inventive drinks and incredibly knowledgeable staff. The bartenders even gave my party and I excellent recommendations for other great places to visit after we finished our time with them. I'm thoroughly looking forward to revisiting any time I'm in the area again!

It had been several years since my last visit to this iconic, high end cocktail bar. It was a quiet Sun. Drinks were interesting and excellent. Bar food was tasty and simply presented. Drink menu now offers some VERY high end options. All in all, there have been a few tweaks over the years, but the basics remain excellent and the same.

We went mostly for drinks, but decided to have some nibbles as well. The cocktails are top-notch and the food was outstanding. If you are looking for a relaxed evening away from the fray, come here. It is especially geared toward folks who appreciate craft cocktails. Feel free to order "off menu" as well, the bartenders are very accommodating as long as they have the ingredients.

Food and cocktails are great. Service is subpar. Spent a lot of our time watching our server talk to her friends at the bar and even watched as she did a shot with a group of people. Looks she was having a good time so that’s nice for her but we would have stayed and ordered more rounds of both drinks and food if she had been more attentive. Food is excellent but there are so many good places to eat in New Orleans that if a place gives me subpar service multiple times (which this place has) its not really worth it to go back.
