Jayne Restaurant Takes Over Phillip Lopez’s Petit Lion | Eater New Orleans

"Originally operated by Phillip Lopez, Petit Lion struggled from the start and was widely viewed as lackluster: the Times-Picayune’s Todd Price said it “fails to roar,” and the Gambit’s Helen Freund felt it was “still figuring itself out,” criticizing a lack of the creativity evident in Lopez’s other restaurants; the hamburger—though billed on the menu as the best—was judged good but ultimately not deserving of that title. Despite those criticisms, the interior retained a handsome horseshoe-shaped bar and smart deep blues and golds." - Stephanie Carter
