Dear valued guests: DC restaurants have been operating with dynamic and significant increases in labor wages, food costs, and the general cost of doing business in DC. We have chosen to implement a 4% operational surcharge - which does not go towards gratuity - as the most comprehensive way to address this.
We appreciate your support and understanding.

French 75
(Serves two) This Champagne-topped sour is appropriately named after a field gun from World War I. Oh and did we mention that in New Orleans we prefer them with brandy instead of gin? Our elevated version uses Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac and a half bottle of Champagne to accompany it. TARLANT ZÉRO BRUT NATURE Marne, NV
$158
-
Tequila La Louisiane
An updated take on the house cocktail of the gone, but not forgotten Restaurant de la Louisiane. We’ve always thought of this cocktail as a delightful hedge between a Sazerac and Vieux Carré.
$30
-
Farm-Fresh Ramos Gin Fizz
World famous for its pillowy texture and heavenly taste, the New Orleans Fizz, which would eventually take on the name of its popularizer, Henry C. Ramos is a drink like no other. Our over the top version combines Black Forest Gin, orange blossom water, a blend of fresh citrus with sweet cream from a local dairy and farm eggs.
$36
Cocktails
Classic & Modern-
Saint Charles Spritz
This ode to the classic NOLA punch gets an uplift in this spring Spritz. Differing from the traditional port-base, white wine aperitif and pisco provide the perfect balance in this refreshing twist.
$14
-
Pimm's Cup
The iconic low-proof English summer Highball was co-opted by New Orleanians many years ago due to the pervasive heat that lasts through most of the year. Our variation features Pimm’s No. 1 and a bright cucumber-lemon shrub.
$15
-
Lavender Honey Collins
The Tom Collins is a staple in gin cocktail history for a reason: it’s easy, elegant and bends with the test of time. Our version embraces the floral, sweet, and spicy notes of the season with honey, lavender, and pink peppercorn.
$15
-
Howitzer
In celebration of Cure's 15th anniversary, we are showcasing their first original cocktail crafted by Neal Bodenheimer. This simple variation of the classic French 75 embraces bourbon and peach in the place of gin or brandy.

-
CB Radio
Acknowledging the impact both amaro and mezcal have on the cocktail industry, this original take turns the popular M&M into a fizzy highball treated with both grapefruit soda and bitters.
$18
-
Santini Sour
Joseph Santini, the original owner of the famous NOLA bar “Jewel of the South,” derived many of today’s classics including the Brandy Crusta. Reposado tequila and local mandarin orange liqueur are brought to the forefront in our adaptation.
$18
-
Mario's Rye Fix
This completely original cocktail took us by surprise, shocking our palate in a great way. It shares a few ingredients with its closest relative, the Rye Fix, but adds scotch and pineapple for a complex and smooth finish.
$17
-
Dauphine's Martini
The Martini has devotees across the world with almost as many ways to make it. Our namesake version is scented with anise, contains a healthy dose of aromatized wines, and the perfect amount of navy strength gin.
$18
-
Chicory Espresso Martini
Already an invigorating and complex cocktail, our NOLA-inspired Espresso Martini adds depth with the inclusion of chicory root and coffee liquor. Not to mention, the cold-brew infused vodka is sure to awaken your senses.
$17
-
Hurricane
Arguably the most infamous Tropical Fruit Sour in New Orleans, our version is based on Cane & Table’s historical reproduction of the elusive Fassionola syrup. Light and dark rum are perfectly balanced by citrus and sugar.
$17
-
Saint Ann Swizzle
Every great cocktail city including New Orleans features their share of tiki spinoffs. Our cachaca and rum Swizzle is accented by the dazzling combination of strawberry and rhubarb.
$17
-
Sazerac
While its former title, the Improved Whiskey Cocktail, has long been dismissed, the hold that rye whiskey, absinthe, and bitters have on our imagination may never wane.
$16
-
Vieux Carré
Originally the delicious house drink of the Hotel Monteleone, the Vieux Carré has been dubbed one of the all-time great Manhattan variations. Our version remains true to the original with rye whiskey, brandy, vermouth, and bitters.
$18
Frozens
-
Grasshopper
Sweet treat lovers read no further! This frozen take on a beloved New Orleans classic created at Tujaque’s in the French Quarter is reminiscent of delicious mint-chocolate chip ice cream.
$15
-
Tequila Roffignac
Fans of NOLA cocktail history praise the famous Roffignac named after a well-renowned mayor. Our tart and sweet raspberry shrub pairs beautifully with tequila in this vibrant frozen variation.
