While visiting my aunt we decided to visit and enjoy some dessert and coffee. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the cakes looked amazing, although rather pricey. Upon making our way to the hostess, we were told it would be a 45 minute wait, but we could get takeout and sit outdoors in the courtyard. So we went that option. While waiting for our slices of cake, another woman walked in. I thought to myself she would have a long wait, but no, she was seated immediately. I might add that we are not young girls, but 72 and 60. However, we had on capris, shirts and both of us had baseball caps on. Apparently we were not dressed appropriately to be worthy of a seat. Needless to say, will not be back to this restaurant.Linda, We have been booked with reservations for a few months in advance. I am sure the woman who was seated had a reservation. If there is not a reservation, we would seat you at the next available table, which would have been a 45 minute wait time or shorter. We would never not seat someone if we had an available table. We love all of our customers and are grateful for each guest. We hope you return and we look forward to seeing you.

I was there for an early dinner and I was the only customer. The restaurant was clean and service was quick. I had jambalaya and I thought it was pretty dry. I also had an order of beignets. They were ok, but flat. Nothing like in NOLA, unfortunately.
