The bartender/host was very knowledgeable about the products and their production process. I learned some things! The place is small and cozy. I initially ordered the agave shochu, which is served with soda water (optional and on the side). This was a nice drink, not overly sweet. The regular cocktails are a bit more sweet if you're looking for that. The Lime Gin Rickey was the right amount of sweet! I tried the complex sake flight, and it was, in fact, COMPLEX!! So many flavors! It was a nice pour and a nice immersion into "other" sake flavors. If you're feeling adventurous, I'd definitely suggest the complex flight.

Well, I am here to tell you, it isn't any of those things. The Naughty Knight is a bar for drinkers. It is open 24 hours, so regardless of when you need a beer, they'll be open. I ended up here after a yelp event. I was super excited to try it after always wondering what it was like. After all that anticipation, it didn't live up to the hype in my mind. Inside there is a bar, pool tables and a internet connected jukebox. The jukebox was great as I was able to listen and dance to Frank Sinatra, and then rap to BG. Imagine how impressed my friends were. Beer was very cheap and plentiful. They do sell frozen pizzas for $5, but I do not recommend you try one. It looked like the frozen pizzas at the dollar store and the bartender confirmed that is what they were. I came back a second time, but didn't stay. the vibe seemed different. I am sure I will end up here again though, as WB bars are good spots to close out a night. If you're looking for a place to drink at all hours of the day or night, give the Naughty Knight a try.

The overall vibe/decor is dramatic and appealing. If you are a group of rich girls who are eating before they go out drinking or a dude trying hard to impress a date, this is the spot. The eh: It's $$$. I probably didn't look into this aspect well enough so my shock at the menu/check was probably on me. Portions are a bit confusing. Poutine was huge - like Mexican Nachos size huge. Hamburger also. But 2 deviled eggs, a tiny 9$ miniature loaf of bread were confusing in contrast. We had two mixed drinks. Gin and tonic was fine, but the 17$ espresso martini was hilariously undrinkably unpleasant. Less like espresso, more like donut shop coffee. Now, I love some indirect lighting. It creates interesting and compelling spaces with mood and a bit of mystery- But y'all - this is just the darkest restaurant (or lounge or whatever) I have ever eaten in. There is so little light that you literally cannot read the menu without using the flashlight on your phone. It is spelunking levels of darkness in there. I had to ask the server for more of the tiny tabletop candles just so we could see each other. The music is also very loud. Which would make sense if there was a dance floor or some reason for it. It is a place where what you do is drink and eat (in the dark) and talk to each other. The design of the restaurant itself seems at odds with the two things it aims to provide.

Saint Claire is a truly unique restaurant located at 1300 Richland Road in Algiers. It is…read moreimpossible to appreciate the restaurant fully without mentioning the property itself, which is arguably the older and more remarkable part of the story. The historic building sits on nearly four acres beneath a magnificent grove of live oaks. The property was originally associated with a quarantine station serving ships and crews traveling upriver toward New Orleans, and the building that now houses the restaurant was reportedly the residence of physicians connected with that facility. During World War II, the site became Camp Algiers, an internment facility. The property subsequently served various federal purposes, including use by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security, before eventually falling into disrepair and later undergoing renovation. Today, Saint Claire occupies what is believed to be the last surviving medical-officer residence of the former New Orleans quarantine station--a property that subsequently became part of a controversial World War II internment camp and has now been given a remarkable new life as one of New Orleans' most distinctive dining destinations. The setting itself is lovely, and one of the restaurant's greatest practical advantages is the remarkably easy parking, something that should never be taken for granted in New Orleans. The ambiance is warm and inviting, while the service is prompt and polished. The servers are knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly familiar with the food and its preparation. The cuisine can best be described as French country cooking with a distinctly Louisiana twist. The menu manages to combine French technique and elegance with the flavors and ingredients of South Louisiana. The duck-andouille gumbo, for example, is a particularly imaginative interpretation, made with a chocolate roux that adds an intriguing depth and complexity. The jumbo lump crab gnocchi is considerably more delicate, served with lemon butter and fresh chives, allowing the sweetness of the crab to remain the star of the dish. I am genuinely rooting for Saint Claire's success, which I judge by what I call the Triple A's of a successful restaurant: Availability, Affability, and Ability--in that order. Saint Claire unquestionably scores high on the latter two. The staff is affable and knowledgeable, and the kitchen clearly has considerable ability. My concern, however, is availability. Making a reservation can feel remarkably similar to doing business with a health insurance company. The restaurant does not answer its telephone calls, although it will apparently return a call the following day. Reservations can be made through the website, but there is an additional wrinkle: the system defaults to a reservation on the patio rather than in the main dining room. For a restaurant of this caliber, the reservation process should be as seamless and welcoming as the dining experience itself. Saint Claire has many of the ingredients necessary to become a destination restaurant. The property is extraordinary, the setting is beautiful, the service is personable and capable, and the cuisine has both character and ambition. If the restaurant can improve its availability--making it easier for guests to reach the restaurant and, more importantly, to secure a table in the main dining room--it may well have the three A's in perfect order.
