A French Quarter gastropub in a converted 18th-century carriage house — a tight, well-executed menu of elevated American comfort food (the fried chicken sandwich became a cult item) and a cocktail program that punches above the room. Brick walls, a hidden courtyard, an unpretentious energy that's a relief from the Quarter's grander rooms. For a relaxed, genuinely good meal in a neighborhood full of occasions.
