"I chose this restaurant because it participated in my airline rewards program. I had just flown in to New Orleans around 10 am and wanted to pick up some food to take to our rental house where I would eat it and relax . I arrived to an old converted gas station with pleasant people sitting outdoors -two with their dogs so I knew that this was my kind of place. Lots of big coffee cups with local art on the walls and people enjoying their leisurely Sunday morning reading and visiting. I ordered Eggs Florentine, grits, and an order of bacon for one dollar more. I also was tempted by a display case full of lovely pastries and desserts, so I had the young, rather distracted lady, place a banana foster cheese cake $5.99) in the bag. I paid , admired the art work on the way out , and drove to our home away from home. The Eggs Florentine $11.00) were delicious and I wish that I could review the grits and bacon $1), but alas they were no where to be seen. It seems that the distracted young lady had forgotten my side items and they were now about ten miles away from me. I ate the dessert and would not get it again. It had a fake banana taste that was not to my liking. I like many aspects of this place and most of the food, but could not give it a rating above three stars. Anita did offer to give me a discount or my missing food, but I never made it back during my busy three days in New Orleans. I do still want to go back for a lovely original piece of art featuring a St. Charles street car- it really captured the feel of St. Charles Ave. with the shadows of the Live Oaks cast on the streetcar."
