I've had two fabulous Friday lunches recently. The waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable on the menu and generally helpful. And Patrick (from years at Bistro at Maison de Ville) is a great recent addition. Dishes were wonderfully fresh and surprising. Love the amuse bouche to begin and the sweet treats to end. Besh is on his game here.

Absolutely the best meal I've ever had and I was raised in New Orleans before living in New York, Washington DC and Houston. Menu is innovative, fresh and delicious. John Besh is truly a breath of fresh air and his attention to detail is unsurpassed! Well worth a trip to New Orleans just to dine at August! Carolyn Denman Kingwood, Texas

This restaurant was pretty much bellow my expectations, its hard to believe its regarded among the best restaurants in the US, I would never recommend it, low food quality, poor service, wine list does not have good low price wine options

AMuse-Bouche was a little rich, but was otherwise great. The duck was absolutely amazing, as was the Seafood Three-Ways. For desert I had a Napolean with Bavarois which was flawless. I would add that staff was extremely helpful, and the only change I would make would be to bring the lighting up a touch. Besh really is the man in this city, although I would recomend one of his sister restaraunts, la Provence, first. But August truly has its place.
