We New Yorkers had the good fortune to be staying at the B&W when Hurricane Sandy hit New York. How ironic that we took shelter in New Orleans while our home here was being battered. Rob and Kevin were as always most gracious hosts, going above and beyond the call by encouraging us to stay on in New Orleans in their personal guestroom even after the B&W was fully booked for Halloween. We took advantage of their kindness and will be forever grateful! For 4 days we stayed in the lovely and light Courtyard Room (can't believe in 11 years I have never stayed there before - I thought I had been in every room!) with its cool lime green walls, sky-blue cove ceiling with white medallion surrounding a lovely chandelier with gold shades, enjoying Kevin's morning fruit plates (photo attached). And when they had no more space for us at the B&W, their gorgeously appointed guestroom with brick walls and full length windows with a door to the balcony overlooking the roofs of the city made me wish I could stay forever.

Rob and Kevin helped to distract us and keep our minds off obsessing about the Hurricane with their "Fun Things to Do" list and ever-changing roster of new restaurants to try. On this trip, we visited one of our old favorites Bayona with Kevin (photo) and Rob, and tried a new one with them - Sobou (photo) with its walls spectacularly lined with backlit glass bottles, and artistically arranged and delicious appetizers and "caprese" desert made with slices of panna cotta and mint leaves. K&R also introduced us to Bar Tonique with its daily drink specials and milk punch where we spotted a couple of raccoons in Halloween drag. Restaurant R'evolution also made it to our bucket list this trip - an experience with its 72 page ipad list of 10,000 wines and 7 different Creole style dining rooms. We also hit Ignatius on Magazine, Elizabeth's in the Bywater, Suis Generis (anise-flavored ravioli!) and Maurepas Foods where our favorite mixologist Brad Smith has invented the Peach & the Pig cocktail.

It was with great reluctance that we headed back to New York and the remains of the Hurricane, but that was what will make this trip to the B&W a particularly memorable one for us.

First of all what a Great Place , Rob & Kevin were so Welcoming. Matt & I stayed here 21st October 2012 with Matt s Family. We arrived Quite late well late for Rob & Kevin they were there to Greet us and help with the Rooms. We had a great room believe Rob called it the Black Carriage. Huge king size bed, we got lost in it, it was so big us Brits are only used to little beds, it was so comfortable. Coffee machine & Coffee, Complementary Sherry, and I pod, radio and charger, they have got everything you will need for a fantastic visit. And the Honesty Bar was also a great Touch. Breakfast was also a wow factor, stepping into the large dining room was like stepping onto the Antiques road show. A huge Dark oak dinning table to seat 10, and the Breakfast china was lovely. Kevin is clearly the cook and made some fantastic breakfasts for us all; Home made Belgium waffles with fruit and cream, very pretty fruit starters, fantastic Bread pudding and Apple turnovers, and the homemade Granola was also great. Matt and i got married in New Orleans on the Wednesday, Rob & Kev gave us a bottle of Champagne on ice and 5 Glasses so we can celebrate at the start of our day! Fantastic Gesture above and beyond hospitality. I could go on but its all good, you must try it, if you want Clean, Tentative staff and great Hosts.

My husband and I stayed here last month and agree with all the positive reviews.
We have some superlatives to add. Amazing...comfortable....special....outstanding....serene....exceptional....meticulous....delightful....perfect....fantastic....wonderful....excellent....delicious....charming...
Yes, we loved it! Thank you Rob & Kevin for everything, we hope to be back soon.

Rob and Kevin are the kind of people who make you feel like you never want breakfast to end. That breakfast, home-cooked, artfully presented and served around their gorgeous table in their beautiful b&b, comes accompanied by conversation laced with wonderful stories, just the right amount of inquisitiveness, and abundant advice about building your day for maximum delicious New Orleans sensory impact. We had daily restaurant strategy sessions and recaps, and their recommendations (which are constantly being refined through sampling) were flawless, down to the dish and the cocktail. They make the hard work of maintaining such an impeccable standard of quality seem effortless. The house, perfectly located in the Marigny, is walkable to nearly anything, and is an oasis of calm filled with fountains and magic. A casual mention (when booking the room 2 months before) that it would be our honeymoon turned into champagne on ice waiting for us in our room the first night...no fuss, just thoughtful, generous service. On this trip, we reconnected with friends and family in New Orleans who offered us a place to stay on any future trip, but I'd have a hard time thinking of staying anywhere else. Thank you so much, Rob and Kevin, for a fabulous few days. We'll be back.
