The Latest New Orleans Restaurant and Bar Closings of 2020 - Eater New Orleans

"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. 👍🏽👍🏽

If you want a place that takes the heart of southern creole comfort, and puts it in the body of a modern dish you’ve come to the right place. The drinks were fantastic, appetizers adventurous, and the entrees delicious and not too filling. The picture shows 4 desserts along with my blackened redfish entree. All of which were unique and superb in their own way. Hospitality and service was top notch and we got a chance to talk to the chef about the history behind the food and the special ways he prepares them.

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!

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.

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!

Delicious place! Great service, our order came out a little wrong but still delicious, when I brought this to the waiters attention he fixed it immediately and the food was just delicious. I would recommend this to any and everyone best brunch place, $15 bottomless mimosas are the best!
