Walking into this space was like walking into a part of history with the antique formal dining room feel...which is what I find most appealing and intriguing about NOLA.
My first turtle soup du sherry was amazing.
The duck breast and seafood au gratin are great choices.
The service and wine list were both impressive.
Definitely on my list during my next visit.

Haunting side note via Food & Wine :
There is one unavailable table at this Jackson Square restaurant. It's freshly set every night with bread and wine for a previous owner of the property, Pierre Antoine Lepardi Jourdan, whose ghost has a standing reservation. Gambling ruined Jourdan in 1814, when he lost his house in a poker game. Inconsolable at having to vacate, he committed suicide on the second floor. The appropriately named Séance Lounges upstairs are where Mr. Jourdan is said to spend most of his time knocking on walls, but the staff claim that glasses have flown from behind the bar and shattered against the far brick wall three times since 2001.
