Wonderful Small dishes

We love to go to this restaurant. We can have several different dishes and dessert too and not be too full. The prices are reasonable and they have 1/2 price wine night on Mondays.

Yelp.com Review - by Tuna D.

3.0 of 5 stars. Located on Old Metairie Rd, went there before the storm and after the storm. Difference is that they take only cash after the storm. Everytime that I have been there I have had the Apple & Brie salad...

This place is tapa-licious

This is one of New Orleans hidden treasures. I think the ambience is incredible at this place. There are banquettes with velvet pillows, candlelit tables and cool paintings on the walls. It's super chic, but...
