Part of the experience of the French Quarter is the interplay of different energies. It’s the way timeless, Old World architecture frames the ephemeral social buzz, the way turning a corner can change the feel from languid to rollicking.
That’s a bit like what it feels to visit @holywater.nola .
This new restaurant and oyster bar is filled with New Orleans flavors and its own character across a progression of distinct spaces, all in a revived historic building in a particularly captivating part of the Quarter.
Holywater officially opens today (Sept. 23) after some test runs that packed its various spaces with curious visitors.
It’s meeting a need for more nice-casual restaurants in the Quarter, hitting that midrange between tavern and bistro, free of touristy cliché.
Here’s a look around, link in my bio has the full read on the New Orleans natives behind it, the local talent working with them (chef @chefalexharrell , cocktail maestro @nealbodie).
More to come on those Sailor Baby oysters
