August - New Orleans (LA)

5 /5 Charles Conti: One of our favorite places in NOLA. Consistently excellent service. Amazing staff, including everyone that interacts with customers. They look for ways to impress and delight you! The food is always a feast for your senses appealing to your eyes, nose and mouth! The opening act is an eggshell filled with a citrus mouse on top of a sweet potato on bottom. The triple tail was amazing. Tender, juicy, flavorful. Overall one of the most impressive restaurants in NOLA!

5 /5 Marina R: We came here to celebrate our engagement and treated ourselves to the chef’s tasting menu. I have to say, the chef has built an incredible team to complement his culinary artistry. Each dish was beautifully explained, and as Canadians, we truly felt that Southern hospitality. Every course was so unique and I can still remember each flavour! Will definitely be returning and recommending to others!

5 /5 Dustin Vaughn: I’ve been wanting to come here for years. The last 5 trips haven’t been the right group/reason to come here. Worth the wait is an understatement! The tasting menu was our plan coming in, but after looking at prices and what was featured, we decided on à la carte. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Beer Tartar, insane. Best I’ve had. Gnocchi with Crab and Truffle… so well balanced! See out pictures. Staff was amazing and environment is upscale, but not stuffy. Coming back in 48 hours to try the venison.

5 /5 E Gonzalez: August Restaurant in New Orleans offers a dining experience that feels both refined and genuinely welcoming. The space is elegant without being pretentious, creating the perfect backdrop for an exceptional meal. The lamb ravioli was the highlight of the night—delicate pasta filled with tender lamb, finished with a broth poured tableside that had the aromatic depth of a beautifully crafted pho. It was rich, fragrant, and memorable. The wagyu strip steak that followed was cooked with absolute precision, showcasing phenomenal quality and a perfect sear that made every bite feel luxurious. For dessert, I had the strawberry shortcake paired with a latte. Light, fresh, and just sweet enough, it was a lovely way to end the meal. A personal touch that made the evening even more special: the chef came out to greet me. It was wonderful putting a face to the food, and it added a warm, human note to an already outstanding experience. August is the kind of restaurant that stays with you—thoughtful, flavorful, and absolutely worth a visit.

1 /5 Kelly Doyle: Let me start by saying that it was my birthday and my boyfriend and I flew to New Orleans to celebrate and he wanted to take me to a very upscale restaurant. We were really hoping for an amazing dining experience after reading so many positive reviews. The food itself was decent, the customer service left a lot to be desired. The waitress left me feeling like I wasnt "good enough" to be there. Maybe I dont like dry wine, but there is no need to be insulting about what I choose. When ordering an appetizer and drink the server said that the chef wants the entire meal order. Well, no. Maybe Im not ready. Maybe I dont want rushed. We probably would have ordered a second cocktail and possibly another appetizer. The food was presented well, although I expected more flavor. The atmosphere was a bit stuffy, but elegant. I definitely expected much better service, especially given the cost. Being treated so poorly ruined my birthday and quite frankly, upset both of us, who have been in the industry.
