Reviews for August in New Orleans, LA

such a romantic spot for a date night!! the first and last pictures are complementary of the chef. we started off with the... stuffed mirliton, gnocchi, and p&j oysters which were all amazing but my picture did not turn out good. i got the duck three wayas my entrée and my partner got the steak, both so delicious. we ended our dining experience with the dark chocolate pot decreme which was to die for highly recommend ending your night with this. i also got the grapefruit fizz that was super light andrefreshing. bring your loved one here you won?t regret it!! our waiters were so kind and friendly!

Firstly, staff is amazing. Walked in without a reservation and the staff was kind enough to let us dine without a reservation.... The food was the tastiest I've had in Louisiana for its type. The portion size was not too big. Well cooked. Perfectenvironment. Read more

A wonderful meal and exquisite service! I took my family here for dinner to allow our pre-teen to practice his fine dining... etiquette. The wait staff was patient and helpful with all his questions. The food itself was delectable and utilized local andhigh quality ingredients. We sampled the royal reds salad, P&J oysters w/ caviar, the chanterelle agnolotti, black trufflegnocchi, seasonal eggplant, red snapper w/ buerre blanc, and the crusted strip steak. Each dish was well balanced andmasterfully cooked. It was a great time teaching our kiddo about complex flavor pairings and watching him attempt to pick outall of the herbs and seasonings used in every dish. We will absolutely be back soon!

August is a restaurant where you can have a good business dinner. It has esprit, charm and a good atmosphere. However, the food... is more like 3.5 out of 5 stars. The appetizer to main course ratio doesn't fit at all. The appetizers start at about $20 themain courses are about $40. However, the appetizers are only a third of the main course sizes. The amuse was about the size ofthe appetizers, or are the appetizers more like the amuse sizes? The snapper in the main course is supposed to be one of thesignature dishes. However, the combination of fish with shrimp and the hollandaise was not fitting. Maybe some vegetables aremissing here. Maybe something refreshing green. Also, the hollandaise was very sour. The price was not worth the main course.Also, the arrangement was in contrast to the appetizer rather clumsy. While the appetizers looked like small works of art, themain courses were rather unsightly arranged. Service was okay. You could tell that the one waiter was new. It is alwaysdifficult when you prepare a drink and touch the garnish with your hands (coffee bean). Didn't Covid teach us anything abouthygiene? Also, you should think about nicer water glasses in this etablissment. These are rather beer glasses. In comparison,wine glasses are more like decoration. Read more

August gave us a wonderful Valentines dinner experience! Everything was delicious, the staff was friendly and very... knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is warm and beautiful! I don?t think anything could top the crab and truffle gnocchi! Justsuperb. We are hoping to come back for a special occasion in the future. Read more

Very high end and classy. We were there on valentines, so they had set menu of ~$100pp. So with drinks and tips it is $250-$300... for a couple. Food was very good and high quality, portions are small as expected from such restaurant. Not sure it justifiesthe price though. Read more

August is one of my favorite restaurants in NOLA. The dining room is romantic, best for date night. Excellent service and great... foods. Love the Louisiana flavor with a twist of contemporary French. A must try when you visit NOLA. Read more

This place is amazing! I travel all over the country and this is one of the best meals I have ever had. The staff was awesome.... Specifically Nick, the bartender. His service was above and beyond. The food was perfectly prepared and the flavors were betterthan I had expected. I plan to be a regular any time I come into New Orleans. Read more
