I’ve been wanting to come here for years. The last 5 trips haven’t been the right group/reason to come here. Worth the wait is an understatement! The tasting menu was our plan coming in, but after looking at prices and what was featured, we decided on à la carte. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Beer Tartar, insane. Best I’ve had. Gnocchi with Crab and Truffle… so well balanced! See out pictures. Staff was amazing and environment is upscale, but not stuffy. Coming back in 48 hours to try the venison.

Phenomenal! We got the four course tasting menu and everything was just so wonderful. Well worth the money. Next time we are in town we will go back. I could not recommend this restaurant more for an absolutely wonderful fine dining experience.

August Restaurant in New Orleans offers a dining experience that feels both refined and genuinely welcoming. The space is elegant without being pretentious, creating the perfect backdrop for an exceptional meal.

The lamb ravioli was the highlight of the night—delicate pasta filled with tender lamb, finished with a broth poured tableside that had the aromatic depth of a beautifully crafted pho. It was rich, fragrant, and memorable. The wagyu strip steak that followed was cooked with absolute precision, showcasing phenomenal quality and a perfect sear that made every bite feel luxurious.

For dessert, I had the strawberry shortcake paired with a latte. Light, fresh, and just sweet enough, it was a lovely way to end the meal.

A personal touch that made the evening even more special: the chef came out to greet me. It was wonderful putting a face to the food, and it added a warm, human note to an already outstanding experience.

August is the kind of restaurant that stays with you—thoughtful, flavorful, and absolutely worth a visit.

One of our favorite places in NOLA. Consistently excellent service. Amazing staff, including everyone that interacts with customers. They look for ways to impress and delight you!
The food is always a feast for your senses appealing to your eyes, nose and mouth!

The opening act is an eggshell filled with a citrus mouse on top of a sweet potato on bottom. The triple tail was amazing. Tender, juicy, flavorful.

Overall one of the most impressive restaurants in NOLA!

We came here to celebrate our engagement and treated ourselves to the chef’s tasting menu. I have to say, the chef has built an incredible team to complement his culinary artistry. Each dish was beautifully explained, and as Canadians, we truly felt that Southern hospitality. Every course was so unique and I can still remember each flavour! Will definitely be returning and recommending to others!

Truly an amazing experience at August.

Absolutely — here’s a polished, glowing review that captures the experience with warmth and professionalism:



⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Exceptional Dining Experience at August

Our group of 30 recently dined at August, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Coordinating a party of our size is no small task, yet the team at August handled every detail with the kind of precision, grace, and professionalism you’d expect from a world‑class fine dining restaurant.

From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed and cared for. Every course was beautifully presented, thoughtfully timed, and absolutely delicious. The attention to detail was remarkable — from the way the tables were arranged to the seamless service that never once felt rushed or overwhelmed.

What impressed us most was how effortlessly the team managed such a large group while still making the evening feel intimate and personalized. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the meal, the ambiance, and the exceptional service long after we left. It’s rare to find a restaurant that can deliver this level of excellence for a table of two, let alone thirty.

August exceeded every expectation and created a memorable dining experience that our entire group will be talking about for a long time. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate a special occasion or simply enjoy outstanding cuisine in a refined setting.

Let me start by saying that it was my birthday and my boyfriend and I flew to New Orleans to celebrate and he wanted to take me to a very upscale restaurant. We were really hoping for an amazing dining experience after reading so many positive reviews. The food itself was decent, the customer service left a lot to be desired. The waitress left me feeling like I wasn’t “good enough” to be there. Maybe I don’t like dry wine, but there is no need to be insulting about what I choose. When ordering an appetizer and drink the server said that the chef wants the entire meal order. Well, no. Maybe I’m not ready. Maybe I don’t want rushed. We probably would have ordered a second cocktail and possibly another appetizer.

The food was presented well, although I expected more flavor. The atmosphere was a bit stuffy, but elegant.

I definitely expected much better service, especially given the cost. Being treated so poorly ruined my birthday and quite frankly, upset both of us, who have been in the industry.

We were very excited to come to Restaurant August as it has been acclaimed one of the best in America. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and is a perfect place for a date or celebration. Our server, Jordan, was pleasant and helpful, but I believe they were overly busy that evening, so we did have some service issues. (One item ordered did not come with the appetizers, my glass of wine arrived when I was more than halfway through my entrée, and we requested a split check but had to remind him again after he dropped the bill.)
The food was really wonderful. The amuse-bouche, appetizers, and desserts were outstanding. At this particular price point, I would have expected a scallop or two more on my entree (only 3), but flavors were on point and beautifully presented on all entrées.
So, overall, it was a good experience and delicious food, but we left feeling a little disappointed because of the disjointed service. (They did bring us a couple extra desserts as an apology for the service issues, but no formal apology acknowledging the failure to provide excellent service was given.)

One of my favorite restaurants ever. The scallops were out of this world. I don’t think I will ever have better scallops, I want to come back to New Orleans just to go back to this restaurant. The service, ambiance, and food were way beyond my expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant, what a fabulous experience.

November 2025:
Very elegant dining room, superb service. The options are chef’s menu or ala cart. We decided to go with the menu as I wanted to try venison with fore gra. It was prepared ala beef wellington. It was okay, but not as good as I had in the past . The appetizer I chose was wague tartar in Vietnamese fish sauce and lemongrass. Excellent. For me that was the high light of the dinner.
