★★★★☆ 4.0 Yongmei Zhang · Jan 2026

We tried this rather new restaurant on a Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised, the cuisine is modern American with New Orleans influences, the food is fresh and tasty, presented well. Service is impeccable and ambience is great. Though there is a bar it is not very noisy. We enjoyed the bread service with seasonal butter, the mushroom with oyster on sushi rice and the dark chocolate candy bar which is a chocolate mousse cake.

My husband and I went for their jazzy Sunday brunch. The deviled eggs were delicious! I don’t even like deviled eggs and the dish ended up being my favorite. We also had their beignets and skillet cornbread. Both great! For entrees, I had their crab cake eggs Benedict and my partner had the biscuit and gravy. Our waiter Armando was very helpful and made sure consistently to check on us. Highly recommend their brunch!

Neutral Ground Bar + Kitchen is an absolute standout! Celebrity Chef David Guas has spent over 25 years staying true to his New Orleans roots, and it shows in every bite. Numerous awards and recognitions mark his culinary career—including hosting Travel Channel’s American Grilled—and the food here reflects that excellence. The interior, designed by Simone Rathlé Guas, is stunning. From the natural wood door with a custom palm leaf handle to the bright, airy dining room, the space feels like an urban oasis inspired by both the Gulf Coast and Palm Springs. It’s modern, stylish, and incredibly welcoming. The Sunday Jazz Brunch is a highlight—I loved the lively atmosphere, delicious food, and fantastic music. This place is very popular, so I highly recommend making a reservation, even on wee

Great Jazz Brunch place with live music (which is not too loud). Service was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed eggs Benedict and Plato Del Domingo, both excellent choices.

★★★★★ 5.0 BB Holoubek · Mar 2025

Wow…just…WOW!!! A++ Service = Excellent, friendly, professional teamwork among the staff, to include serving/pre-bussing each other’s tables. All the waiters were helping each others tables…which enhances the entire dining experience. A+ Food = Exciting flavors with sharing size portions A+ Drinks = Adventurous drink menu A+ Atmosphere = Fun, full of nice personal details and design features A- Price = While on the higher side, it’s well worth it due to the food, service, and entire experience. *We will absolutely return. Looking forward to the Sunday jazz brunch.
