Authentic Stories from Diners
This has been one of my favourite restaurants visiting York. The service was lovely, everyone was friendly and really helpful. The interior was lovely, I fell in love with the atmosphere. The food was delightful, nothing that we ordered was bad. It was all delicious.
As a previous New Orleans regular visitor I've been missing my NOLA fix. York provides a memorable alternative We went on successive nights to sample the food and live jazz (the latter only on Tues/Fri/Sun). A number of dishes on the menu are distinctively Creole & Cajun, which added to the overall authenticity... including Jambalaya, Gumbo, Cajun Monkfish, and Creole Brioche Bread Pudding... all were fabulous. A Sazerac cocktail (or two) also brought back many treasured memories. Who knows when I'll go back to New Orleans with the current political shenanigans... but I hope to return to NOLA in York soon.
An amazing restaurant with friendly attentive staff, and a wonderful atmosphere. The food was delicious, and perfectly portioned. 100% worth a visit.
We had a fabulous evening! The food and cocktails were so good and Amelia, our waitress, is an absolute credit to the restaurant, funny, attentive and kind. Amongst many great food options, the pecan pie was a stand out and the scallops were amazing.We will definitely be back!
I've visited York so many times, and must have frequently walked past this restaurant without noticing it, but on my latest visit I decided on the spur of the moment to have lunch here, and was really glad I did! The two girls who greeted me were lovely, so kind and welcoming! I felt as though I had been transported back to 1920's New Orleans when I entered the bar. Art Deco furnishings, marble top tables, chandeliers above the bar, the exuberant feathers and flowers, and 1920's jazz music in the background. The leather chairs were really comfortable. Had my lunch in the ground floor bar, but there's a larger restaurant and toilets downstairs. Chose a good Merlot from an extensive list of wines and champagne. The tapas style small plates (two plus a side for £19.95) was a great idea, especially as I'm unfamiliar with Creole and Cajun food, allowing me to try different dishes and flavours without getting over-full. There was a wide choice of meat, fish and vegetarian options. Opted for the jambalaya (a deliciously spicy dish of chicken, spiced sausage and prawns with tomato and rice); pulled pork arancinis served with a little pot of chipotle mayonnaise; and pan fried tenderstem broccoli in melted chilli butter, topped with toasted almonds. Nicely presented and wonderful flavours. My only criticism is that they could have been warmer. The Mississippi Mud Pie that I had for dessert was chocolate heaven, topped with whipped cream. Some tempting coffee liqueurs too, but I settled for a nice latte! Attentive and very friendly service from the two waitresses throughout the meal. The restaurant had a really cosy and relaxed vibe. Would definitely come here again!
