I honestly don't even know what the sauce is, but it's so good. The broccolini was great, and the chicken was perfectly crispy. The ambiance was amazing and very different from a regular restaurant. The tables are a little small, but that's because it has a cozy vibe, dim lighting, couches for seating, and low tables. All the tables and chairs are different, which makes it feel really unique. There's also a bar inside, and the whole place just has a very cool, laid-back vibe. Customer service was amazing. I also tried the deviled eggs and highly recommend them.

We had reservations on a Saturday night and were seated almost immediately. As we passed the bar I noticed they had a huge bourbon selection which is always cool. I ordered a "Well She Starts Monday" which is a cocktail made with Buffalo Trace, Cynar liqueur, and Fig Syrup. I was not a fan of this one, so I ordered an Old Fashioned for my second drink, and it was a little better. I got a Burrata for an appetizer which seemed like a caprese salad served with crispy bread triangles. This was really good. For an entree, I got Beef Wellington which until then I had never had. Mansplained, this is a steak cooked medium rare inside of a puff pastry with 2 different sauces on it. Phenomenally good! The atmosphere is really dark with low lighting, dark cherry wood everywhere. The music was bad and loud. If it was one or the other it would have been fine, but this was like if someone gave Yoko Ono glowsticks and said start and EDM band. The Husky is meant for a younger crowd. The food was 5 stars; the atmosphere and experience were probably more like 3 stars.

I ultimately ordered the Sautéed Garlic Shrimp with butternut squash risotto. The presentation was beautiful and the flavors were rich and creamy. Also, Eddie kept my water glass filled and made me feel special and welcomed. The ambiance at the Fountain Lounge is classic luxury. Plus, the staff is always on point. They even remembered my special occasion when I last dined there. Plus, the team was attentive and quite friendly. My only complaint is that the piano is no longer there. Apparently, the powers that be decided to remove the soul of the restaurant. In the days of old, a pianist played sets during dinner. Not only did it make guests truly appreciate the musical style of New Orleans, but the melodic music also drew others into the restaurant. What a shame to have lost the heart and soul of the restaurant. Yet, the staff does their best to create a warm and welcoming environment, while the chefs provide truly top notch cuisine.

There were about 8 or 9 of us, and at first we thought we'd just be grabbing drinks at the bar. But of course, once the drinks started hitting, people got hungry lol. I spoke with a manager inside to see if they could seat us, and shoutout to Hannah, she was AMAZING! So sweet, super helpful, explained everything clearly, and even complimented a few of my friends on their festive outfits . We ended up getting seated and tried a few drinks from the Bar Humbug menu. I had the Santa Baby Margarita and the Silver and Gold Sidecar, both were delicious and definitely gave me a lil buzz buzz. I also tried the Bower Potatoes, which were solid. I'd give them a 7/10...tasty, but there was one seasoning on them that kind of lingered a little too much for me. The staff overall was great. Even though we were told at the bar that food orders wouldn't be brought out, someone did bring the food to our table, so major thank you for that little surprise. This was my first time including The Bower on our bar crawl list, and I'd definitely come back again next year. Beautiful space, great drinks, and A+ customer service. Special thanks again to Hannah for being such a gem.

Strong, smooth, and exactly the pick-me-up I needed after a long day. For food, we ordered: Whipped Feta Cacio e Pepe Spicy Scallop Arancini Beef Carpaccio When everything came out, the presentation was stunning. The whipped feta with pickled red onions and bruschetta toast was a great starter -- the onions added a nice crunch against the buttery toast. I do wish the feta was a bit more whipped, but flavor-wise it didn't disappoint. Cacio e pepe was creamy and comforting -- the ideal carb dish to soak up that martini. But the star of the night? The Beef Carpaccio. Ultra-thin slices topped with fresh arugula and lump crab meat -- light, refreshing, and such a nice contrast to the heavier dishes. My only complaint is that I wish they gave more beef! We sat at the bar, and the vibes were great. Our bartender was super attentive and made excellent drinks. Final Verdict: Definitely a must-try for happy hour. I'll be back!

They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, which makes it perfect whether you want a relaxed brunch or just a fun place to grab cocktails. The building itself is an old house that's been turned into lodging and a restaurant, which adds so much charm and character. If you're visiting NOLA, this is definitely a must-visit spot. Inside, the décor is eclectic, fun, and full of personality. It's the kind of place where you can comfortably sit at the bar for cocktails, enjoy a meal, or just relax. There are several side rooms with couches and seating areas, which makes it great for meeting friends, family, or colleagues to unwind after a busy day--or even just popping in while strolling around the city. We went for Saturday brunch, and the menu isn't huge--which I actually love because it means everything is done well. There were plenty of options, including gluten-free and vegetarian choices. The seating is comfortable and spaced out so you don't feel crowded by other diners. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We ordered a variety of dishes, and everything was really good. The cocktails were also excellent--generous pours and well made. After brunch, we walked out back to the pool area and enjoyed another cocktail while soaking in the beautiful day. It was the perfect ending to a great brunch experience. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place with great food, great drinks, and a uniquely New Orleans!

The stay was *beyond my expectations* (we had been there before for drinks but not to the hotel part). Every single person we encountered on staff was SO kind and fun from the moment we walked in. Started the evening at the bar, which had a great mix of neighbors/regulars (with cute dogs) and tourists. The liquor selection and cured cocktails are magical. We checked into Room #4, which was perfect. Every room at the hotel has a record player, a Marshall external mini amp/speaker and the best mini bar selection...just knowing it was there was awesome (we did eventually cave in and enjoy some flavored pretzel twists). Dinner was SO yummy. Our waiter, Jasper, was a rock star...He arranged for a nice surprise birthday beverage. We had the gumbo (a meal in itself that was so good we saved half of it to take home and ended up devouring it cold from the mini fridge before we left the next morning...it was *that good*), the goat cheese app (the bread and the honey poured on top was divine), the stuffed redfish (once I was done with my meal, the empty plate almost looked like it was licked clean...Although tempted, I was actually able to keep my composure and not do that...) and the double stack burger (also saved to bring home and perfect for a snack this evening). The room was the ideal hideaway (located at the back of the second floor) for our little staycation. We jammed out to Muddy Waters on the turntable while getting ready (next time, we are going to borrow one of their themed record stacks...It was a work night...Monday...so we had to keep things low key). It was super easy to sign into streaming apps on the room TV...After dinner, we watched the end of the NFL Playoff game and then Netflixed and Chilled. Even though there was a large-ish reception going on downstairs, we heard nothing from our room. The breakfast (included with the room) was the perfect way to start my work day the next day. It arrived right at the selected time. Delicious coffee, eggs, breakfast potatoes and crispy bacon. The hotel wifi was great. I worked for a few hours from the room (they have a generous 1:00 pm check-out time) before we headed back home. I love the jewel toned decor, repurposed furniture and quirky ambiance (artwork, photographs, hidden/not so hidden alligator motif). They give you a *real key* for the room, which is a nice retro touch. The shower was delightful, the bedding clean, crisp and comfy. I could not think of a better way to spend the first day of the 50th year of my life. We will be planning another staycation soon when it's a little warmer and we can also enjoy the pool :) Thank you, folks at The Chloe!
