Tucked in the farmers market is Holy Crepes! A fabulous find while on our NO adventure. Great choice of savory and sweet (gluten free is an option). We went sweet with Elvis and Pralines both were delicious! Take the trolly down Canal to this hidden gem.

Extremely knowledgeable servers and chefs! Delicious food and extensive wine list. Door (not sure how this should be spelled) and Miss Jackie made sure my meal was Celiac-safe. Such a pleasure eating somewhere they honestly care about serving a Celiac patron safely. Highly recommend.

This was my first time visiting this establishment, and I have to say my experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The service was warm and attentive, and the food? Simply amazing. Every dish had such bold, unique flavors, and I really appreciated the wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options on the menu. I ordered the Crab Scramble with vegan eggs, which was packed with flavor. I also got a side of the bison sausage it was my first time trying bison. While I personally prefer chicken or seafood over red meat, the sausage was still well-seasoned and tasty, with subtle notes of onion and bell pepper (not sure if that was intentional, but it worked!). My mom ordered the Shrimp and Grits, and I got to try a bite and wow. It was a flavor explosion. I've never tasted anything quite like it before rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. We all shared the Bananas Foster Pancakes, which were sweet but not overpowering, with a unique flavor that really stood out. I also tried their Iced Matcha Latte delicious and classic in taste. If you're looking for a traditional, less-sweet matcha, this is the one for you. My cousin ordered the Cat Daddy Biscuit, and once again great flavors, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was on point. My aunt went with the Bearcat Breakfast, a more traditional option, but she swapped in the bison sausage, and it paired beautifully with the eggs and potatoes. The only downside? Parking can be a bit tricky, and there might be a wait ours was about an hour. But trust me, it’s absolutely worth it. Next time I'm in New Orleans, I’ll be back without a doubt!

As a vegetarian with Celiac Disease, I felt so comfortable ordering from their menu since everything is gluten free. Our food was delicious and the staff was extremely attentive. Prices were also bery reasonable. My husband who eats gluten and meat said his food was also phenomenal, so highly recommended for everyone!

Ordered the burger, medium rare, and it was burnt. Order a gluten-free bun, which is normally good, but this one was so hard. I couldn’t bite into it. Ordered the chard cauliflower and it was barely cooked. Complete waste of money.

Omg. This place was amazing. Great cocktails and an abundance of gf Snack/ bar menu options. Including fries, spicy kimchi fries, and wings that were all stunning. My group of 11 literally ordered dishes over and over again to share. The only dish bit be ordered multiple times? The one dish with gluten.

Outstanding GLUTEN-FREE fried chicken and salt and vinegar string fries. We sat ourselves in the semi-enclosed private room on the second floor, which was comfortable, allowed us to hear the live music and talk comfortably with one another. The cocktails were delightful and interesting!

We went here specifically for gluten free food. The owner was there and super friendly. We ordered gluten free fried green tomatoes, shrimp, crayfish, catfish, pickles, and fries. The coating/breading was light and airy. We were the only ones in the restaurant. It was a little awkward, quiet, and dark.

I was super excited to come as you hear and read so much history about this place. It was everything I was told and imagined. The first thing you see and feel when walking in is the history this place has. All the staff was exceptional and on point! And the food, the foor was fantastic. Our table had the fried chicken, which was finger lickin excellence. For one order they were able to make it gluten free for my mom!! The Stewed chicken was absolutely delicious! And the same for the Shrimp Clemenceau. This place is a must come and repeat!!

It was my first, and unfortunately, last visit to this restaurant. I ordered gluten-free cauliflower with fries, an additional order of cauliflower, and one of their pasta dishes. The cauliflower and fries were for me. It was absolutely delicious. There were rave reviews for the Cajun pasta as well. I gave a 3 star review because the cauliflower was not gluten-free and made me very, very sick. If you have a gluten sensitivity or celiac's, beware. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for this error. Please be mindful of this when filling orders. This could land someone in the hospital.

New Orleans locals and can easily say this was the best meal we’ve had in months. Absolutely excellent. We got happy hour drinks at the bar (3-5pm on Sun) and then transitioned to the restaurant dining room for dinner. We split the duck with sweet potato hash and the scallops with crab hash. Both absolutely INCREDIBLE. Also, for my allergy peeps, many menu items were dairy free & gluten free - they have a designated gluten free fryer.
