Amazing lunch, with great service, in the warehouse district of New Orleans. Dishes were exquisitely prepared and the service was really amazing. They do a great job of pairing dishes with wines.

We continued our food journey with LRG to this amazing spot right by La Fayette Square. We did not have a reservation, but fortunately a spot opened up and we opted to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful weather as well as live music that was playing at the festival from the square. Our hosts were Hannah and Chappy (?). They took a great care of us and provided a welcoming atmosphere. For drinks: - Sazerac - served neat, can't go wrong here - Winter Spritz - refreshing and snappy (?)... Not out favorite, but definitely unique taste to us For food we got the "trifecta" - Gumbo - smokey, smooth but with a lightly thick texture. It is not spicy at all and goes really well with the free (French) bread served at beginning (make sure to save some for the soup) - Homemade Spaghetti - their take on carbonara is original and tasty. The fried egg provided the much needed texture amongst the creaminess and rich sauce that's encompasses every single strand of the noodles. The noodles are al dente proving a good chew. Sprinkles of Guanciale adds nice saltiness to the dish. Also recommend using the provided bread to sponge up the sauce - Duck Leg Confit - the duck meat falls off the bone while the skin remains crispy with every bite. I would have to assume this was sous vide than fried, because the texture contrast is mind blowing. Let's also not forget about dirty rice which is well seasoned and addition of few broccoli florets made this a balanced (?) meal. For dessert: - Fried apple pie - they looked baked to me, bunch cutting it a spoon said otherwise. The stuffing was well caramelized with lots of flavors. The added ice cream help cool down the heat that this little pies were packing
