Table for 2 for Lunch
I had this place in mind for our 1st stop in New Orleans, so we took a quick 15-minute walk over from our hotel. We entered without a reservation, and were able to get a table for two for lunch. When asked if we preferred indoor or outdoor seating, we chose inside, it was a little too warm for Wifey this time around. 😁 They led us to a perfect high-top table just behind the bar, and our server, Kristen T, greeted us right away with menus. All the beers offered are brewed in house. I ordered a flight, while Wifey went with the Weiss. The beers arrived quickly, and we decided to add a couple of appetizers; I opted for the hot wings and Wifey ordered the bang bang shrimp. The wings came with a sweet and spicy sauce that Kristen told me was not that hot, it ended up being a good choice. Kristen mentioned she was new, but we couldn’t tell. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of. The flight was excellent, and my surprise favorite was a Vienna-style pilsner called the Red Stallion. From where we sat, I only noticed one small TV, so it’s probably not the spot to catch a game. There’s also an upstairs area, which our server said is often booked for parties. She also pointed out that the space almost doubles as a museum, with artwork displayed on the walls and most of it available for purchase. While we were there, a live band started playing, which added another highlight to the experience. I went upstairs to check it out and found a huge interior dining area and a balcony overlooking Decatur Street. That’s definitely where I’ll plan to sit next time. Overall, it was such a great setup that I found myself thinking, I could have stayed there all day.
