Took the wife last Saturday night. Sorry no pics of the food...or the wife.
The place was packed. Had a very similar vibe to Cochon, which I like.
We really enjoyed the meal. Probably about 2 hours start to finish. Food was great and service was just as good.
Before I looked at the menu I Started off trying to order a NOLA red, but they were out of it, so I had a Canebrake instead. So I treblehooked them and got a free pint because there were drunks next to me. Switched to wine after.
We then ordered a couple small plates about every 20 minutes. Waiter was not only cool with it, he seemed to encourage it.
We started with a dozen James River Oysters from Virginia. The server suggested they were very briny and flavorful...Meh. They were a pretty mild oyster IMO. I enjoyed them, but wouldn't go out of my way to order them again.
We got the Tuna Crudo special for the night, next. Perfectly cut tuna in olive oil, basil, pickled corn, and a bit of salt. Excellent.
We then got the Crawfish Spring Onion Gratinee. I am curious to know the ingredients/creation of this dish. I've never even heard of a "gratinee" Wife loved it. It didn't last long.
Next came the spicy ground shrimp and noodles. We both very much enjoyed the dish as we were both a bit skeptical about "ground shrimp", but it was very good. I think the use of cumin really was a nice change of flavors.
Last dish was the capellini with crab and chilies. The server said it was his favorite small plate. I was stuffed at that point, but it was very good as well. I couldn't even think about dessert.
It was probably the best service I've had in New Orleans this year. The server and assistant were on top of everything without being intrusive.
I'll be back next time in New Orleans. Too much other stuff I want to try. Especially the whole fish specials. They looked great.
All in all. Great meal.
Oh and no, I didn't Treblehook them

Glad you enjoyed.
Didn't think they were carrying NOLA Red, I know they have the Hurricane Saisson now.
I went last thursday and had a similar meal. I love the place, as it really accommodates to any kind of diner.

Just a past participle of "Gratin" Little overrated dish IMO.

This is best way to enjoy the restaurant. I told my waitress upon seating that we would do this and she encouraged it as well.
I'm heading over there for lunch today. Mouth is watering.

Nice review. I love the idea of ordering the small plates as you go and I love when the wait staff is encouraging about that sort of thing. I tip them well for that. I'm also impressed when they know the food and you can tell they've sampled it.
