We love everything that is ever on the New Orleans-inspired menu. We also love the atmosphere sitting at the bar/open kitchen. We also love the Friday night jazz. Basically, when we have one meal during a stay in SA, we come here.

A lunch or late night favorite in a renovated mansion. Excellent salads and coffee for midday dining in the spacious downstairs. Reverse happy hour every night starting at 10pm--don't miss the small but tasty pizzas on special. And dessert...always get dessert.

Fantastically fun social scene, especially out on the patio during happy hour or brunch on Sunday (when there's bottomless mimosas and a DJ spinning outside). Come with a group so you can try the greatest number of small plates! Even as a couple we can't help but order 5 or 6 things.
