Great casual environment with upscale food and attentive, quick service. The buttermilk biscuits with the bacon and sweet butter was amazing. Biscuit was moist and tasted great even without the butter. The pork belly? Man, one of the best things I ever tasted, though I wish it was served a few degrees warmer. But the pork belly was so tender, juicy, and flavorful, and had a good amount of heat that sticks with you. It melts in your mouth.
I was underwhelmed by the fried chicken, however; the sweet glaze was a little too sweet for my tastes and the batter to chicken ratio was completely off. The chicken I did get was juicy, tender, and flavorful, but I wish there was either more of the chicken or less of the batter. Some bites were just pure batter crunch and kind of distracting. The perfect fried chicken to me has a thin, yet commanding crunch, so I just wish they used significantly less batter.
The chocolate cake was good, but it was paired with a Cajun-spiced granola. Ambitious attempt, but the flavor and texture combination absolutely didn’t work for me, but perhaps my palette isn’t sophisticated enough to appreciate it. Overall I’d give the place a 4.5, but since I can’t do that, I will round up to 5 for the excellent food and great service.
Before I say anything about the food, let me tell you - the staff here will make you feel at home. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful and our server Tori was exceptional explaining with incredible detail each and every dish of the menu. The chef does an outstanding job mixing Caribbean flavors with otherwise “normal” dishes ensuring an out-of-body experience. No kidding. My wife and I got here ahead of the reservation and got seated right away. The food came very timely and everything was incredible - best biscuit I’ve ever had, best mango salad I’ve ever had, best fried chicken I’ve ever had. They change their menu frequently but no fear - everything is delicious.
Cute spot with great atmosphere. Our waitress was super nice and helpful.
We got the biscuits (were ok) with the honey butter (10/10) and bacon butter to start. And then the papaya salad at the recommendation of our waitress. Slightly spicy but overall a great salad.
Fried chicken was a bit too salty and the goat curry was not to our taste.
Cute spot though!
Absolutely perfect brunch experience! I can't say enough about the service at the restaurant. From the opening hostess greeting until we left everyone was super friendly and attentive. The manager probably refilled my water glass ten times, never letting it hit empty. Hey, it was hot out!!
The tater tots with caviar were the perfect morning starter to help get me over the hump from the night before. Then shrimp and grits were absolutely outstanding! The perfect balance, little heat and five large head-on shrimp. A very good value as well. The blue fin tuna bagel with calabrian cream cheese was also fantastic. It was definitely spicy!
I look forward to returning for brunch but also to try dinner. I can't imagine it being nothing but superb!
Great restaurant. I liked it. Surprisingly, the fried chicken was excellent. The fish was good too. Even with a limited menu it was nice.
I think the chef was in top chef(?). I might be wrong.
Everything on the picture were good!
We tried CL as a part of Nola's COOLinary. The atmosphere was inviting, nice old school music was playing, the staff was very attentive and they kept the water glasses filled.
Every thing we tried was packed with flavors, whether complex or simple we loved the mix and spin on some traditional dishes.
We only had one qualm and it was with the fried chicken. It was more crust than actual chicken. However, the flavors were really good, just needed more chicken. The bread pudding was amazing! One of the best I've ever had and I've had many all over NOLA.
Overall, we had a really good experience.
I like this place a lot! It is a beautifully decorated restaurant with friendly staff. The bartenders are mixologist and I used their knowledge to craft a wonderful bourbon mixed drink. The hushpuppies, biscuits and gumbo were all good….yes I know that’s not a well balanced meal…but it taste good!
Very excellent food. Well seasoned, innovative, perfectly executed and plated with care. The service was attentive and informed on the menu and excited about food. Would recommend and eat there again.
This was our best dining experience while in New Orleans and it wasn’t just the delicious food! This place is beautiful and as you’ve probably gathered by looking at images, not really geared for small children BUT the staff was so great. Our server was extremely friendly, attentive, and understanding even when my daughter dropped her chair to the floor 🫣 the food was delicious, I had the pig ears and fish croquettes to start, then her and I shared the hanger steak. But the real star of the show was the crème brûlée, wow it was amazing. Hands down the best one I’ve ever had! Highly recommend, I’m sure the drinks are spectacular too. Just note, try to find street parking if possible, I paid an ungodly amount to park across the street!
I loved literally everything!!! I walked in thinking it was going to be a French restaurant which i was very wrong about haha.
Though, the food was outstanding. I ordered a bottle of Riesling which as the Wine Director Laura pointed out really did pair well with everything I ordered. Her and I also had a lovely conversation about wine, I always love talking about wine with others. I thought it was funny though how I was able to navigate my way through their really vast wine list which a lot of people have trouble with (with most wine lists), then again I study wine so I kinda know what I want, but I seriously needed my waiters help figuring out what I should eat since the food was Caribbean and very foreign to me. It tasted amazing though! The vibe of the place was very nice as well with a band playing. Everything was really perfect.
