I was very excited for this brunch, having heard great things about this restaurant from friends who had visited New Orleans in previous years. While the restaurant and courtyard are gorgeous, and the wait staff terrific, the food was less than spectacular. I was underwhelmed by the quality of the brunch itself- there were lots of options, but perhaps they'd be better off serving less food and improving quality. The jazz musicians were barely audible, which was disappointing because from what we could hear, they were great! Overall, I'd still say this is worth doing but I recommend getting some beignets first to fill up :)

This was BY FAR the highlight of our trip! Our guide, Joe, was absolutely fantastic. He knows so much history and is a wonderful storyteller. In fact, the tour lasted far beyond the two hour limit- we all stayed at the last bar and hung out with Joe! I cannot recommend highly enough- you will not be disappointed! Do this tour on the first or second day of your trip- that way, you'll know your way around the Quarter and will get a chance to figure out all the places you want to be sure to have a meal or get a drink during your time in New Orleans!
