I had read great online reviews and had to try this place. We waited for nearly 2 hours for a breakfast table. The place is so small. But, the brunch was really good. The service was also good and the staff were extremely friendly.

We had a great selection of good menu items and ate very well at Eat. However, they charge corkage on every bottle of wine after the first, which seemed excessive since we were a large group. It was otherwise very reasonable. The waiter was very nice and helpful. We left happy and full.

We found this little restaurant in New Orleans over the Memorial Day Weekend and what a find it was!! The fried green tomatoes toped with shrimp, oh, my!! Everything from the service to the food was wonderful and we will be back! One thing- they do not serve alcohol, but you are invited to bring your bottle of wine, or... More

In an old house a block off of Boubon, this restaurant is quite small. Probably only 20 tables and no where to wait inside. For that reason, everyone finds a place to lean or sit on the street. The Cathedral Academy across the street also has shaded steps to sit on and wait. Once you are inside, order the banana... More

My family, which included my husband and I, our two children (ages 1 and 3) and my parents, were pleasantly surprised by our dinner here. I was leery about going there with the kids, but I had no reason to be. Everyone that worked there was friendly, gracious and accommodating ...Even when my 1 year old had a melt down.... More

Went for a light dinner, split the trio between two people. You know how some times when you are not very hungry and you split something small, the waitstaff gives you the hairy eyeball? That absolutely did not happen. These folks even split the side salad across two plates, and we didn't even ask. That's great service.

This was the first restaurant at which we ate. The Trio was a great way to sample multiple Creole dishes--all fabulous. The servings were large and perfect for sharing. The price was very reasonable. It's a BYOB (1st bottle of wine and 1st six pack have no charge) with a cozy feel. The service was good. I recommend getting a... More

We love this place. We've visited for the last 3 years as we stay in the Quarter and it is usually right around the corner from our place. Weekend brunches get a bit crowded and there is usually a wait, bu we have found it worth it. This past time, my husband had the big breakfast which he loved and... More
