My cousin was married here and after the ceremony, the chairs were taken down and the entire place held the reception. The food was perfect, from the oysters on the shell, to the seafood pasta and the beef tenderloin, we couldn't decide what was the best. The buffet also included a wonderful baked Brie along with chicken gumbo that many went back for seconds.

The former 1910 pharmacy in the neighborhood has amazing history turning our excellent chefs in the last 30 years and it can be experienced.It is so Nola that it does not even need a sign out front. The quality and service was impeccable and would recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy a NOLA dinner experience that is not touristy!

I wish I could give Murielâs 10 stars. I would. We had a fantastic dinner here with great service by Kerri and Felicia. Had the 3 course menu with creamed pea soup, shrimp and grits, and flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Shrimp and grits were creamy and divine. Best meal we had in NOLA.

Loved, loved, loved this elegantly simplistic dinner this evening. Dishes were very fresh and delicious. Iâve had some totally blah New Orleanâs âchainâ tourist traps lately in the Quarter, but so thrilled I found this charming and unique little place. The market place salad special and Redfish Almandine totally hit the spot. Well done and Iâll be back!!

The cuisine at August is contemporary French with a focus on local ingredients, inspired by Chef John Besh's classical training here and in Europe, and by the depth of his own Southern Louisiana roots. August is located in an historic 19th century French-

We had an excellent experience at Restaurant August yesterday: the food was, of course, wonderful; the server (I believe his name was "Stephen" or "Steven") matched up our courses to our need to catch an airplane just perfectly--and thanked us for telling him our time limitations as we were starting our meal, and one of the hosts/managers came running out of the restaurant just as we were getting into an Uber to give me back my credit card. The prix fixe lunch at Restaurant August is, without a doubt, the best restaurant value in New Orleans--the food and the service are always first rate. This time we particularly enjoyed the squash soup (and I do not even like squash), the amazing desserts--especially the one with cherries in a dark chocolate sauce with ice cream--and (of course) the eggs. Yes, I would go to Restaurant August just for the eggs. I can hardly wait to return, only this time I will give myself more time and will remember my credit card.

Excellent breakfast, reasonably priced and the service was super! We had a selection, omelette, eggs with salmon, and the fried pancake balls. The grits were as good as we have ever had, even in Texas. Small place but worth a short wait.
