The Original

Lee DuBois

Eric, Craig, Vinny and the rest of the staff, thank you so much from Madison and myself. You went above and beyond our expectations for hosting our welcome dinner for our wedding. Everyone loved the food, drinks and overall vibe that The Original provides. It meant a lot to us to have our dinner at your restaurant and we will continue to come back for various occasions. Thank you for providing such a great experience.

Excellent Many times I’ve had a dish and have stated “that’s the best cream of mushroom soup I’ve ever had. That’s the best spinach salad I’ve ever had. I think that’s one of the best steaks I’ve ever had” Delicious, great drinks, service and the chef is outstanding

True definition of a family establishment. It is incredibly impressive what this team churns out. Craft cocktail selection is impeccable - Black Manhattan on menu or Vieux Carré off…you’re welcome. Service is both attentive but also engaging and conversational, be open and try something new here, it’s worth it. Everything is clearly prepared fresh and with the highest quality ingredients. I would post about the meal but am sure their menu changes over regularly, but in the event you can get it, definitely check out the short rib, Brussels sprouts, leak and potato soup, duck, perfectly seared scallops/order anything. Thanks for a great experience and see you soon!
