Absolutely wonderful! I've been there twice for lunch and the food is incredible and consistent. I highly reccomend the Oysters Allen - or the soft shell crab with the Allen sauce. And the Bread pudding is to die for. Note: you don't need reservations for lunch, but you do for dinner. **The cafe is between Canal and Poydras on Magazine Street - NOT where the yahoo maps star places it SW of the bridge.

The food was okay...the tables are too close together and impossible to get through without getting bumed. One out of 3 waitresses was very nice - the other 2 acted as if customers were an inconvenience. It was okay, not great.
