Make reservations in advance to get on their 2nd floor balcony which is just fantastic when the weather is nice. Inside on the second floor is airy and bright too, and the first floor patio is always in the shade (if you get hot easily). For apps, the fried chicken gizzard with grits and brown gravy were packed with flavor and buttery and decadent and a perfect mix of textures. My husband normally doesn 't eat weird foods, and he loved it, too. For a main, that pot roast in brown gravy with mashed potatoes can 't be beat. Best pot roast I 've had anywhere in the world. So tender and juicy and flavorful. I recommend doing it my way: take out the toast, and add a runny egg. You can get a bottle of bubbly for $32 during brunch I think. I also loved their **** Marys and sangria.

However, I'm always willing to give something I've disliked another chance at a nice restaurant, and Gris did not disappoint. The oyster pie/stew was surprisingly delicious. The jambalaya was also very good, but I already have a great recipe for that. The drinks were unique but on the milder side. The beer was more affordable than at some of the budget-friendly restaurants. We didn't try the main dishes, but what we observed being served around us looked fantastic.

Everything, including our server was on point. The Gumbo was the star of the show and everyone at our table ordered something different and were left highly impressed. Drinks were also light and refreshing.

We had balcony reservations during a time where rain was possible and they were very accommodating in the event it started to rain. Our waiter was knowledgeable on the specials for the day and made some suggestions. The mimosas were amazing and so was the food. This place is in my top 5 for brunch in NOLA Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
