  Be aware

  Not sure if this place have different managers. The hostess that greeted us said if it was up to them they would allow us in. But when they talked to their boss, their boss declined us to be seated.

  Not welcoming

  We were in New Orleans for a weekend getaway and had my husband's service dog with us. I try to make a point to choose dog friendly restaurants where possible even though we don't have to.
  We were not welcomed by the hostess at all and you could tell he didn't want to seat us. He walked us up the stairs to the balcony area and expected us to sit outside in the heat (99 that day). When we refused he walked us back down the stairs to one of the tables in the window/sidewalk area which was fine. I asked the waiter for a small bowl of water and he came back advising he "was not able to find a bowl for water for the dog". Then proceeded to bring my meal out in small bowls.
  Needless to say I would not recommend.

  Rough start to our lunch

  I had read the reviews for this place and we wanted to try it. The food was delicious. My hubby had the fried shrimp plate. The shrimp was coated crunchy but the shrimp was soooo tender. He loves his fries crispy and they were. I had the taste of New Orleans which was a small soup bowl of four of New Orleans' staples: etouffee, jambalaya, gumbo and red beans and rice. All was SUPER delicious. I had the Voodoo Juice cocktail. It was too sweet for my taste but if you like that kind of drink then it would be fine.

  But it was our waiter that saved the day. The hostess was not welcoming at all and it was clear she did not want to seat us. I didn't mind sitting at the open doors/windows where we were suppose to sit but she made me walk with my dog outside around the building to our table while she had my husband walk through the restaurant. When we sat down, she came over and told me to move my dog, that he had to be on the sill plate, not inside at all. It was extremely hot outside, in the 90's. My dog wouldn't have it. I couldn't get my 47 pound long haired Australian Shepherd to move.
  The hostess kept repeating. I finally flat out asked her if she wanted us to leave and she said "you can do that but you need to have your dog outside". Our waiter appeared at that moment, a friendly older man with a pony tail and told us we were just fine the way we were. She disappeared and he took care of us superbly. Everyone at the bar was loving on our dog. He was an asset to the place. It is just a shame our beginning was so rocky. I would have given 5 bones had we not had the hostess situation.

  One quirky note about the restaurant, we got carded (we are in our 60's). And he meant it. It wasn't a senior joke. I didn't have my ID on me (we walked a lot and for security reasons I didn't bring it). All the "rules" of this place made me think they have to walk a fine line for some reason.

  Very dog friendly

  They welcomed the pups with bowls of ice water. Staff were very friendly. We had the shrimp, it was great! We sat just inside the doors with my 2 pups, a whippet & a coonhound.

  Dog friendly and Great Food

  They welcomed our 12lb Shih-poo in with big smiles.
  Great food- would recommend the oysters, seafood platter, cup of gumbo and the oyster po-boy.

  Great French Quarter Experience

  We were invited in and seated in 1 of their 3 tables open to the sidewalk. Our dog was welcomed and given water. We had amazing grilled oysters, fish po boy and Hurricanes.

  hostess seemed surprised when we asked for a table in the doorways so Carly could stay with us. but they quickly found us a table and brought Carly a bowl of water when they brought us water. food and service was good and Carly enjoyed watching the street from the doorway.
