Sneaky Pickle Brine - New Orleans

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our entire visit. We are visiting New Orleans for our first time and we’re blown away. The owner/chef has something very unique and special going here. Exceptional food and service as well. We highly recommend anyone reading this to not hesitate to make the trip!Food: 5/5

First of all this place is GREAT to bring your vegan friends for very creative unconventional menu items. That being said I would have liked to see more conventional vegan or vegetarian items. Some of the things (like the Mac and cheese) looked so much like Mac and cheese but had a sweetness to it that for me was off-putting when I'm expecting salty. My friend liked it but both my husband and I found it disconcerting. The veggie bowl however was delicious. Tasted like a chirashi would but with more veggies and minus the fish (though I honestly would have loved it even more with the fish) The sushi rice was well done. The burger was ok. Too much sauce so masked the lovely Kobe patty and the bread was a little too soft for my taste. The egg sandwich was totally inedible. Once again too much sweet sour sauce. I applaud the creativity but wish everything could be kept a tiny bit more simple so the ingredients can shine. The place is super cute on a corner and I badly wanted to love the food. I have heard the egg rolls are good (we ordered it but it never came so we had to cancel). Because we are in the neighbourhood a lot I would probably try it again but different items.Vegetarian options: Most of the menu is vegetarian

Reuben: I was underwhelmed. I thought that the bread was too thick and oversaturated with thousand island dressing. And there was hardly any tempeh. It was mostly cabbage, bread, and dressing. And the little tempeh that I could taste had a strange flavor.Egg Rolls: decentMac n Cheese: good flavors, our favorite

Fantastic all around, however important to note that the Flower Child cocktail was the best cocktail I’ve had out in years. Anna, our server, was also a true highlight of the evening. Had a great time.Food: 5/5

My husband found this gem while on vacation in NOLA. We’re always looking for vegan fare when we travel, and this did not disappoint. I ordered the Sneaky Pickle plate (and giggled as I did) and my jaw dropped when they brought it out. Who’d have thought “The Sneaky Pickle Plate” would be rainbow art, too pretty to eat?? I was legitimately sad to destroy it.We even looked over at other tables getting their food and thought “Man, that looks amazing, too!” I wish I had a bigger belly so I could have tried everything. I guess we’ll just have to come back!
