About
First opened in 2008, this Irish Channel eatery has kept up its standards. Indeed, it was named to such top 2024 Lists as Eater’s “38 Essential NOLA Restaurants” and Times-Picayune’s “Top Ten Restaurants” List. Chef/Owner Michael Stoltzfus is a multiple James Beard Nominee, and for our event, he's placing us in the well-chosen hands of Chef de Cuisine Austin Farrell, who is turning out contemporary southern cuisine with an emphasis on locally sourced produce and international inspiration. Here, diners find small plates like burrata with grilled oyster mushrooms and sesame, boudin & grits with smoked pumpkin and collard greens, and charred okra with tomato, yogurt, and cornbread, as well as large plates like chicken roulade with white bean, spätzle, and cabbage, smoked beef short rib with butternut squash, black-eyed peas, and cranberry, and smothered flounder with stewed okra and smoked trout roe. “Smart and polished…eternally fresh,” says Frommer. We love the 1880s building too, once a grocery store, then an auto parts emporium, but now with glowing chandeliers, tiled floors, and a mahogany wraparound bar.
