A beloved Creole-Italian institution in the French Quarter that feels like family — warm service, a piano bar, red walls, and hearty classics that have not changed because they do not need to. Order the Oysters Irene and the Lasagna Bolognese, and do not rush. Evening is the time, when the piano player is going and the warm lighting sets the mood; the regulars have their tables and the service is old-school attentive. It is the kind of room that rewards settling in for the whole night.
