    Fantabulous! I am from NOLA and was tickled to see that Bacari preserved the charm and character of this two story NP gem! Been waiting for someone to appreciate this space and now it’s been lovingly restored into an upgraded & delicious masterpiece! I could go on. But will just advise that you go see/taste/enjoy it yourself. 😋🍽️🍸⚜️👍🤩

    The service and food was great. My only wish as someone with Celiac is that the chips would be fried in a separate frier.
