Reviews
However, the experience lacks when it comes to service. The staff who took our food orders were somewhat indifferent—neither friendly nor overtly rude. They seemed unhelpful when it came to answering questions or providing recommendations. On a brighter note, the woman who cleared our plates was genuinely pleasant, adding a small touch of warmth to our experience.
Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the nice setting. I ordered the da greens salad with chicken, and it was a significant letdown. The presentation was far from what one would expect from a Louisiana-inspired dish. Having previously attended a cooking class with the chef owner, I was disappointed especially since I had high hopes for this visit. The food simply didn’t reflect the culinary richness of New Orleans/Lousiana, which was disheartening.
I even opted to skip dessert because they didn’t look appealing. It’s a shame, as I wanted to enjoy my time at this place, but the food and service left much to be desired. The ambiance is cool, but without good food and attentive service, it’s hard to recommend this spot for dining.
The mufaletta was everything I could ever want in a sandwich. It was piled high with quality meats, served on a delicious roll, with mayo and yummy olive tapenade. It was bursting with flavor, and definitely one of my new all-time fave hot sandwiches! I was torn between ordering this or the Arm Drip (roast beef Po Boy, looks similar to a French dip). I compromised and ordered the mufaletta with a side of the gravy that comes on the Arm Drip. (They don’t actually have the option to order the gravy on the order online menu. I requested a side of gravy in the “notes” section (alone with extra mayo). It didn’t occur to me that they have more than one type of gravy, ha! When I arrived to pick up my order, the lovely human who greeted me (Karla) asked me which kind of gravy I wanted, and was able to quickly add a small cup to my order for just $1. I dont expect much as far as customer service, because I know first-hand how rough it can be to work those jobs. You’d never know it based on my interaction with Karla. She was all smiles, extremely friendly and personable. It felt like having a conversation with a friend as opposed to a business transaction. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I cannot wait to return and try more items. I definitely want to dine-in sometimes as well. The seating is somewhat limited but its got a cute ambiance. I definitely need to try their baked goods sometime. Oh! They sell yesterdays leftover baked goods for $2! How fun! Love that, because not only do you get a good deal with the “old” pastries, you know everything else is freshly baked that day! You can tell a lot of love is poured into this place, and the staff seem happy, so not only is it good for my taste buds, it’s a place I am happy to support. Do yourself a favor and go try them asap!
What my stars mean: 5 is outstanding, memorable, a place to write home about! A must-experience. Someplace I would love to reccomend to tourists, and visit myself again and again. 4 is great, somewhere I’d love to return again and again. Back-up reccomenation for tourists. 3 is good. A solid option if I am in the area. I may reccomend to locals, but would probably leave it off my list of reccomendations for tourists. 2 is ok, but only because it a great value, unique, and/or convenient. 1 means I would not return
Go for the beignets, soups, and coffee (which I don’t drink but I love the smell).
