Was not expecting this. It was a great spot to get some food in the CBD.

I don't think I've eaten there in 10 years. I'm guessing that cheaper taco place opening next door killed them, but I haven't been there ither.

I just ate there in March. Food was great. Nice atmosphere. Only thing that was lacking was the service was a bit slow on getting our cocktails. That could have been the bartender and not on our server.

Just typical FQ and Uptown service to me. I hardly go to places around there where I see someone in 5th gear busting arse. I get real patient when I see that. Instead I see someone just wandering around and chatting while my drink sits in the bar window

I think O'Keefe being partially shutdown from that building collapse crept over. Even though on Poydras it's a tough place to go an park, unless you want to drop $25 for that too.

I'd periodically eat there for lunch on workdays and it was never full. Food was really good, but it was just slow service.

Drew is good people.

I hope they find a new spot.

The Bay would be nice…. But the Nicaud crew has the coast so over saturated with restaurants that are just…. Well, not bad. It’s almost just too much shite to choose from.

They could probably kill it in the bay though. There isn’t anything like it over there. The NOLA crowd frequents the area regularly…. So, I guess it wouldn’t be that bad of a transition.
