My wife and I went for dinner our last night in NOLA. We shared every course. the gnocchi was superb! The artichoke app was very good. the breaded trout almandine with crabmeat was excellent. he lemon tart was delicious. We enjoyed a somewhat sweet Reisling with our dinner. we were seated InI the small middle room which was very cozy.

We were just looking for a top-rated restaurant within walking distance of our hotel. "August" turned out to be among the best restaurants we have been to in many years. One of the items on the menu, "cauliflower steak", seemed weird. (I would never eat cauliflower.) The diners at the next table asked our waiter about it and he went... More

My wife and I went here for lunch and were very impressed. The service was outstanding and very friendly and the food was incredible....great presentation also. The decor and ambience of the restaurant is probably the best of any restaurant we have been to in New Orleans. August is definitely on list of restaurants that we will return to next... More

As John Besh's most upscale restaurant, this service was sub-par. The setting was beautiful and the bar was really cool. The food was excellent from start to finish, but the wait staffs attentiveness was lacking all across the board (i.e.- forgetting drinks ordered, not much knowledge of the wine menu). If the service had been better, this would absolutely be... More

I then had the roasted lamb and he had the trout - both were... More

This was such a wonderful experience- from the minute we walked through the door, until we walked out- both the food, and the people of August were incredible- worth Every penny!

We were so looking forward to celebrating a friend's milestone birthday at August. We arrived with high expectations and big appetites to try upscale New Orleans fare. The food did not disappoint: gorgeous soft shell crab, the most delicious trout amandine I've ever eaten, a delightful amuse Bouche served in an eggshell with cauliflower, curried oats and a cauliflower foam...the...

My wife and I had an excellent meal at August. It was a very refined dining experience, but the atmosphere wasn't stuffy. It’s located in an old tobacco warehouse and the interior architecture is stunning. All of our food was excellently prepared and the presentations were impeccable. The sommelier helped us pick out a great wine that went well with... More

Certainly the best restaurant I have eaten at in New Orleans which also seems to be the only one to serve normal sized portions and uses salt wisely rather than excessively. We sat in one of their nice side rooms and were towered over by their wine cellar which was spectacular feature of the restaurant. Delicious food and very good... More
