"This place gave us such a great experience (and the drinks are phenomenal). We got the Pate, the Salad Board and the Shrimp Banh Mi sandwich to split between the 4 of us. Really enjoyed the wine selection - they have wines from so many regions and of so many types it was hard to settle on one or the other but the bartender was very gracious to allow us to have small samples before we purchased to make sure that we liked what we were getting - super awesome of her! The vibe is sooo chilled-out and its not noisy so its easy to talk to one another. We sat outside in the courtyard - you can see the CCC bridge lights and down town from the resturant. This place is now our regular spot! It is on the West Bank in Algiers Point so walking distance from the Ferry Boat from Canal St. Totally recommend!!!"

"I visited Algiers Point on a recent vacay in NOLA. I walked past The Little House and it looked so inviting I was compelled to check it out. Such a delightful experience! Excellent music and a chill atmosphere, I could have happily stayed for hours. They are all about wine with an impressive offering. I’m a beer gal and the beer menu was small but good. I had a delicious ice-cold local IPA. This place is worth making a trip across the river."

".Friendly and welcoming atmosphere with great cocktails. The food was just okay—our grilled cheese sandwich wasn’t as warm as expected, but salad was nice, and the pickled shrimp sandwich would have been much better if the bun had been toasted."
