    The drag queen brunch was fantastic. My girlfriend and I had a blast. The food was subpar, but of course we were there for more of the experience. However, it would’ve been nice and paying that kind of money for the food for it to be decent.

    We had a wonderful dinner. It was nice and quiet. We started with the crab beignets which were as delicious. And of course a glass of Sancerre which complimented them. Next was a tangy serving of mussels in saffron sauce and a Caesar salad with shrimp. The topping was dessert.. a lemon possat.

    Lovely setting, friendly hostess, server was very pleasant and helpful. Food normally is great - for Thanksgiving I feel like something was missing. The plate seemed very slammed together and not organized. It was definitely 'country style'. The stuffing/dressing was amazing! The turkey - little flavor but plentiful. No rolls or bread offered/available. The brussels sprouts, zero flavor at all, sweet potatoes great. Should have chosen another option. The cauliflower appetizer was a hot mess - way too much tangy sauce, seemed kind of 'burnt' - this dish could be prepared with more care and appeal for sure.

    there are definitely better places to eat in New Orleans, and I just thought the show would be more action?  I would maybe go back to the pool if it were warmer. But all in all we had a great time. service was good

    My husband and I loved spending our afternoon at the Country Club. We first enjoyed the drag brunch that happens every weekend and had a blast watching all of the drag queens perform! Then we spent a couple hours in the pool with some cocktails and thoroughly enjoyed how relaxed and calm it was. We also both really appreciated the 21+ only limit. We plan to visit when we're in New Orleans again! Thanks for a wonderful time!

    went for dinner on a Saturday evening while visiting New Orleans. The dining room is beautiful, floral murals covering the walls. The waiter was quiet at first, but as the evening progressed became more animated. The food was very good. We ordered all of the small plates on the menu, and every dessert offered. The wine list was really good and reasonably priced overall enjoyed our dinner.

    This was a real let down for my first drag show. The food is good although portions are small. The service was great but there is no talent. Anyone can dress up and lip sync. I was definitely expecting more. Would much rather have spent the money to go watch a show on a stage. Fine place to eat but I would not recommend the drag show

    Well, the place no longer has bottomless mimosas. That's the only thing that seems to have changed. Can't think of any real negative. Gotta love the weekend brunch! Oh, and be sure and get some well done extra crispy bacon....it's fantastic!

    Decent spot, underwhelmed by the service and overall atmosphere. Would have preferred a place that put a little more thought into our special occasion dinner. Food was fine but we were only served for drinks once and all food came all at once, just not a great experience! Restaurant was oddly empty, wish we would have picked a spot a bit more lively.

    The food was absolutely phenomenal!! So glad, we got the opportunity to try it. The drag brunch was fun, but not super energetic. The service was kind of slow, unfortunately. Plus, our experience was kind of ruined by the large, very loud, birthday party in the same section as us.
