Mardi Gras has come and gone but this New Orleans-inspired restaurant in the East Village will transport you right back to the South.

Chef and partner Andrew Dunleavy, who has previously worked with Jean-Georges Vongerichten, BLT Prime and Compass, serves up elevated Southern comfort food, with dishes like shrimp and grits, crawfish po’boy, and black eyed pea hummus. But make no mistake, this is New Orleans food taken up a notch, with a fine dining twist.

The menu is complemented by a glorious setting inspired by a grand Southern mansion. The 43-seat dining room — with another 20 at the bar — features white marble, crown molding, greenery, and golden edges.
