    Doing some work in the French Quarter this morning and decided to make it a day and set up in the Chartres House as my Field-Office-For-the-Day. Because I CAN.

    Turned out to be a great choice - for several reasons. Firstly, LOCATION. I'm in the heart of the freaking French Quarter - been showing condos all morning long. It's a beautiful day. Life is good.

    Secondly, AMBIENCE. This restaurant - situated on the corner of Chartres and Toulouse - has two sides open air seating to the street. It's a hot day but it is beautifully comfortable. Great for people watching and kicking back a little. In the background is some nice Blues Music.

    Thirdly, TEVIN. Tevin is my bartender/server for the day and he is just ON his game. Friendly, attentive, professional - everything you want and nothing you don't want. I'd come back here just because he works here.

    Fourth, the FOOD. While there a number of good looking options - I chose the Blackened Chicken Alfredo. That paired with a Vodka Cranberry and a Tin Roof Juke Joint IPA just WORKED. Great spot, great service, great food. That's the whole point right?

    Not worth it. Food was okay. Mediocre for the price. Nothing you can't get at any other Cajun restaurant. Our order was put in wrong. Took more than 30 minutes to get the food that we ordered then they had to take one entree back because it was the wrong dish all together. Then we had to wait another 15-20 minutes for that to come out. We asked for refills twice & had to end up walking to the bar and getting the bartender to fill up our drinks. When we finally got the check it had the entree she put in wrong as well as our food. Had to get her to ask her to take it off so they didn't charge us for food we didn't order or want.
    It might've been an off day, but they weren't busy.
    It was nothing special.

    First and foremost, the staff is friendly and excellent.

    As a truck driver, it is hard to find places that will allow me to bring my Road Dog Ellie with me. This place is the best. They sat us on the outer perimeter of the lower level and they even brought her a bowl of water before my drink from the bar was ready. Good atmosphere, the muffuletta was fantastic!! First drink was, I'm afraid to say, a little weak. They made up for it in my second though without a doubt.

    If you're visiting NOLA and have your furry friend in tow, I definitely suggest stopping by for your afternoon or evening fair.

    They moved into a nice new location in April, caddie-corner from the old place.  Clean, open, bright. Nice bar, which is where I sat and chatted with Kavin, a very cool bartender/oyster-shucker,  while I had a pint and a 6 of raws.  
    I'd go back for dinner if the opportunity came up.

    Great off the path restaurant and bar. Casual atmosphere to hays few drinks and relax. Very open air with the doors and spacious windows open to the sidewalk. The service stag was very convocational and pleasant. I liked this restaurant a lot.

    The decor to me resembled a very old English pub.
