"Fantastic dinner with beyond excellent service from Kevin and Diego. We had three apps: steak bruschetta, Who Dat shrimp, and the crab cake. The tomatoes on the bruschetta were a bit bitter but the rest were awesome, especially the crab cake. Lobster bisque and French onion soup were awesome. The lamb chops are absolutely the best I have ever had. The flaming mojito glaze that tops the lamb chops makes for quite a presentation and is delicious. Desserts, peanut butter pie and crepe brûlée were delicious. We were allowed to have an unhurried meal of superb food accompanied by the best service."

"I just discovered a new favorite restaurant! This was our first visit, and it was a wonderful experience. We started with the meatballs, which were incredibly flavorful and had a great texture. I was really satisfied with just two meatballs, haha! Next, we tried the House Ricotta, and wow, it was amazing. The balance of the cheese with the sweetness of the honey, complemented by the olive oil on the bread, was perfect. For my main course, I chose the cacio e pepe, and I’m so glad I did—it was outstanding! It ranks among the best cacio e pepe I’ve had, even compared to those in Rome. We ended up ordering a second bowl to share. My companion had the short rib ragu and really enjoyed it. We also shared the zeppole and panna cotta; they were good, but for me, the first two courses were definitely the highlight. The service was good, although our drinks took a little while to arrive from the bar. We will definitely be returning!"

"We got into New Orleans around 8pm, and were planning to dine at Dian Xin, but parking was challenging within a short distance, and kids were winding that they didn't feel comfortable walking in the area. At the end we brought the food back to the hotel. Place: Simple decor, clean, good amount of sitting Service: The servers seemed to be friendly and took my wife's orders quickly. Togo Food quality: 5/5 Sweet and sour soup 5/5 Xiao Long Bao 5/5 Dumpling 5/5 Wonton Soup I can't believe this, the stuff are still good after 20 minutes... Now it makes us want to dine in to taste the real thing at the store."

"Bang for the Buck is alive and well in NOLA. Adams is four blocks from Carrollton and near Willow; while it's not a sit down and eat restaurant, it's great place to order some po-boys and plates to geaux,  see if they have anything on your grocery list while waiting a few minutes, and check-out."
