Louisiana Roots. Global Palate.
Chef Farrell Harrison and Brian Weisnicht spent 2 decades running kitchens and dining rooms for some of the most respected restaurants in New Orleans before building their own shareable table in the Warehouse District.
Elemental.
New orleans.
Each plate represents a specific culture that shaped this city, built from Gulf seafood and Louisiana farms that rotate with the season and paired with Old World wines chosen to match the tradition behind the dish.
Experience Plates
Order more than you planned on a date night, share everything, leave later than expected. $8 happy hour cocktails turn drinks into dinner without anyone deciding to stay.
A birthday, a promotion, or friends in from out of town who need one big table and too many plates. The shareable format does the planning so you get the toast.
Celebrations Worth a Toast
Host corporate dinners, rehearsal dinners, and celebrations in four private rooms for 6–140 seated or 165 reception-style guests. Full-restaurant buyouts accommodate 300 seated or 350 reception-style guests. We handle it.
