"If you’re unsure about how you want your birthday to end up, Hotel Clermont in the Old Fourth Ward gives you options. Start downstairs at Tiny Lou’s with a dinner of things like steak tartare and duck confit. As you’re finishing up, you’ll have to choose from the elaborate dessert cart they wheel to the table before making an even more important decision: upstairs or downstairs? You could keep things casual with a final drink on the rooftop bar. Or, if you’re ready to give in to your friends that keep insisting that birthdays are meant for bad decisions, go downstairs to the legendary Clermont Lounge." - nina reeder, jacinta howard
"The French brasserie within Hotel Clermont makes a lovely spot to start a weekend day with its blush-pink surroundings. Start with a pastry basket before going savory with one of their star dishes like the croque madame or the veggie quiche. Imbibers can’t go wrong with any of the bunch cocktails, but the French 75 keeps things light." - Lia Picard
"Hiding in the basement of the revamped Hotel Clermont is Tiny Lou’s, a swanky French-American brasserie defined by blush-hued banquettes, the clink of Champagne glasses, and vintage black-and-white photos lining the walls. Classic Parisian plates and a France-focused wine list bring an air of sophistication to the space. Still, cheeky details like a pink neon sign marking the entrance and a moniker borrowed from a former hotel dancer prove that the venue doesn’t take itself too seriously." - Sarah Bisacca
"About 20 delicate crepes are needed to make one crepe cake at Tiny Lou’s at Hotel Clermont, which recently celebrated its 100th year. A mascarpone cream filling goes in the center of each crepe, which holds each crepe in place. Pastry chef Charmain Ware-Jason infuses the mascarpone with playful flavor combinations that change seasonally. The crepe cake of the moment is hummingbird cake-inspired with banana curd, vanilla mascarpone, dried pineapples, candied pecans, and a pineapple glaze." - Lia Picard
"Tiny Lou’s sits in the historic Hotel Clermont in O4W and feels like a romantic period piece with curved leather booths and plush pink benches. The French-American brasserie has a menu filled with upscale dishes like creamy lobster risotto and duck confit, which are both good. But despite those excellent dishes, we'd happily come here just to eat their deviled eggs in between sips of a gin martini. Five eggs come topped with a hefty scoop of caviar, which provides a little burst of saltiness. The drizzle of black truffle oil adds a smooth earthy taste that mixes well with the caviar. Luckily, they’re only $12, and formal attire is not required to eat them." - juli horsford
