"The popular contemporary Cajun restaurant has closed, three years after a celebrated debut and nearly one year after the death of founding chef and co-owner Carl Schaubhut, Effective immediately, “it was the prospect of an uncertain future and an unknown timeline to return to some semblance of normalcy that prompted ownership to make this very tough decision to close.” Schaubhut and business partner Jacob Naquin opened DTB on Oak Street in March 2017 with a menu of fresh, creative “Cajun coastal” dishes, a strong bar program, and solid happy hour. Former Cavan chef Nathan Richard took over as executive chef last August, and remained in the role when Schaubhut died a month later. DTB had just reopened in July for the first time since the start of the pandemic, announcing a new executive chef at the same time." - Clair Lorell

We absolutely loved it. And to think we were just driving by and thinking about were to have dinner and said, "that looks nice!" Well excellent choice. She had the BBQ shrimp and grits and I had the shortribs. Cocktails were excellent. Our waiter Royce was "the man"! We had a great meal, loved the atmosphere and the music. Two thumbs up. Will be back for our dessert and coffee date. 👍🏽👍🏽

This place looks great. The decor combines a clean, modern look with touches of rustic charm. The food is absolutely fantastic. My girlfriend and I have been there twice and have been thrilled with every dish. The Louisiana Rice Bowl is highly recommended. Check this place out!

The food was amazing!! And the service was even better! We had a younger gentleman serve us, I can't remember his name but he was very knowledgeable and passionate about the menu. It was the best service we've ever had.

Friendly and attentive wait staff. Really can't go wrong with any of the tapas options and enough variety to keep everyone happy. Good, interesting flavors that we haven't experienced elsewhere in the city. The charred cabbage is reason enough to order the duck confit. Definitely save room for dessert!

D.T.B. is one of my favorite restaurants in New Orleans. I’ve been several times and the food is always excellent. So well seasoned, and the menu always has new options. It’s definitely on the salty side, so drink lots of water ;) Our brunch included the cornbread app, and I got the alligator tacos, and the silver dollar cocktail made with fresh watermelon. All very delicious!

We (three of us) had the most delicious brunch here on Saturday. First time for each of us, and we really LOVED everything we ordered. I had the Oak St. Breakfast. Great eggs, wonderful grits, crispy bacon and really yummy biscuit. The housemade blueberry jam for the biscuit was a real standout. Our wonderful server, Keara, saw how much I liked it and got me a taste of the satsuma marmalade to try as well! One friend ordered the Biscuits & Gravy and the hash. She loved all of it. Our final tablemate had the gumbo and the potato au gratin which is the dish in the little black pan with the egg on top. Everything was so flavorful and wonderfully cooked. The last picture of the 3 spoons all that remains of our dessert was how ALL our plates were at the end, unfortunately we never got a picture of it! Wonderful ice cream sandwich special that was so light and incredible. Highly recommend this gem on Oak St. (I included pics of the menu! I would've rearranged the pictures, but I wasn't able to manage it. Edit: and evidently, we're not allowed to include the menu because those pics didn't post! Sorry!)

Beautiful restaurant. Brown butter Old Fashioned was fabulous. Server very helpful. The fried cornbread and vegan boudin balls were great as well. My entree was the skirt steak and was perfect. Ice cream sandwich was heaven.

A great place to have a tasty bite. Every dish we tried had its own special taste. The first place where I found a cocktail that is part infused vodka part beer -- just make sure you follow instructions to feel the taste right.
