Restaurant August

When you want to celebrate a special occasion , August is sure to impress. High-end service, exceptional wine pairings , and impeccable Gulf-to-table cuisine, including vegetarian , makes for elegance.

Highly recommend! The food is exquisite but the restaurant isn't stuffy. Highlights: black truffle gnocchi and trout with roasted wild mushrooms . The blonde chocolate cake was to die for. GO!!!!

Had the 5 course degustation menu w/wine pairing and was not dissappointed. Everything was delicious but the clear standout was the Halibut cheeks. Definitely give this place a try!

One of the best meals I’ve ever had in one of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve ever been in. Too bad the chef is a POS.

When you want to celebrate a special occasion August is sure to impress. High end service, exceptional wine pairings , & impeccable Gulf-to-table cuisine, including vegetarian , makes for elegance.

Here you'll find local oysters transfigured three ways on a single plate, rabbit cassoulet alive with vivid flavors, and pan-roasted redfish with basil risotto and fried green tomatoes . Read more

Order the crab gnocchi as a starter and the trout as your main! Don't skip out on dessert , the bread pudding is delicious!

Maybe best meal of my life. Ask the sommelier for wine pairings . 2 apps, 1 entree and dessert and that should really do you well . Ask for hot fois gras trio. It's better than cold one.

Considered among the best in NoLa. "John Besh's Louisiana upbringing and knowledge of cutting-edge culinary trends enable him to compose menus that hold their own..." -Gayot on TripExpert Read more

Chef John Besh’s contemporary French restaurant 's recent highlights included the pecan-smoked beef and Gulf snapper "courtbouillon" with shrimp , blue crab , and jasmine rice .

Best meal of my life. Best service (Robert!!!!) ever. Unforgettable evening cannot recommend highly enough. Will return to NOLA just to visit August.

We did our one “fancy dinner ” of the trip here and really enjoyed it. Lots of interesting vegetable dishes , amongst other things.

You can order a la carte off the prix fixe dinner menu . The octopus dish is tender and excellent.

Brunch - start with sweet potato muffins , potato gnocchi with blue crab and banana pudding for dessert

Fancy dining and great service. Most def the best Besh restaurant .

The tasting menu is Devine! The a la carte menu is just as good. Try the gnocchi or the short ribs ! The service is impeccable.

Ridiculous tasting menu , both seasonal and vegetarian . Service was impeccable. Worth every cent...and great cocktails on top of it all.

The Prix Fixe three-course John Besh menu with superb service today went up in price--one cent. It now costs $20.13. A wonderful bargain!

This place is expensive but will knock your socks off--totally worth it. This is my go-to spot for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions . Best restaurant in NOLA .

Amazing food all around. Extremely nice without being pretentious . Foodies wearing suits and jeans. The fish was the best. I don't know how he did it. Highly recommend.

Duck cooked well , amuse bouche egg starter was whatevs. Formal sit down.

Ask questions about the dishes to take delight in the vivid descriptions of ingredients and preparation. Even if you know what you want to order.

You have one night for fine dining in New Orleans? Run, don't walk to Restaurant August. This is the best restaurant in the city .

The duck was really well cooked. Save some room for dessert and get the orange creamsicle cheesecake .

Definitely pricy , but a great date spot with excellent food. I had the pork loin and it was awesome.

As with most places that are worth the wait, get a reservation , sit back, let the wine flow, and watch the hours float away. Did i mention the food?....

Still my favorite restaurant in NOLA . Turn of your cell, don't be in a rush and get ready for possibly the best 7 courses you've had in a long time!

Gnocchi was phenomenal, as was everything else we ordered. Great meal.

The menu is always changing, but this is one of the best places to trust the recommendation of the staff ! You will not be disappointed.

The weekday lunch prix fixe is the best deal in the city - get the Whispering Angel rosé to pair

Simply amazing food. Their 20.13 prix fix can't be beat. An amazing deal for the quality of food you get. wow

Great food but feels impersonal. The quality is great though and the flavours are definitely there!

Fantastic tasting menu . If you're look to splurge on a cajun/creole inspired treat, this is the place.

Traditional Louisiana cooking gets a little inspiration from a worldwise, James Beard award-winning chef at this restaurant . Try the oysters three ways for a tasty appetizer with Southern roots.

One of the most phenomenal meals I've ever had. Ask for Mark and Warren as your servers. You'll be well cared for!

It's celebrity chef John Besh's place, so skip the food, and head to the bar for Besh's bacon-infused bourbon . Enough said.

Top 3 meals ever. The gnocchi appetizer is a must and the banana pudding dessert .

When was the last time your fine dining experience offered a vegetarian "Farmers Market " tasting menu specially designed by a Top Chef Master? You won't be disappointed! Read more

Great venue for a corporate functions!! Just had a fabulous Coldwell Banker Luncheon here. I recommend the bourbon vanilla crime brûlée!

The scallops and breaded flounder were both awesome!

It was amazing, the grouper was incredible and the wine list is impeccable.

While it may be costly, well worth the price to do the pairing menus. Experience everything Restaurant August has to offer.

One of the best restaurants in NO. Fish was excellent.

Fancy fine dining with a slight casual edge. Great menu

Fridays at lunch experience an imaginative 3-course meal with vigilant , but not intrusive, service for $20.14.

The first 7 courses of the 12 course meal were delicious, I missed the last 5 courses, don't ask.

Go for the lunch price fixe - best lunch deal I have seen in a long time!

The salad and wine were amazing.

The best fine dining experience in New Orleans!

Phillip Lopez, chef of Root, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Potato gnocchi w/ blue crab & black truffle . Read more
