"Love this place! Always a good time. The food is AMAZING, the gardens get so lush and beautiful and it’s such a vibe. Been to weddings and events here for years and they’re always a great time. Everyone is super nice and you simply cannot beat cuddling a baby goat! It’s so pretty in the day when the gardens are sunlit but also gorgeous at night with the bistro lights under the pergolas. It’s so nice to have somewhere like this in NOLA."
