Tucked away off the main Bourbon St drag, The Will & The Way should be on the "check out" list for anyone looking for artistic cocktails and elevated bar food. Reservations aren't accepted, so you'll want to come prepared for a wait as needed, especially if looking for seating for a larger group beyond just at the bar. The cocktails were top notch, offering a variety of flavors and liquors. The food was where TWTW stood out though. I appreciated the breadth of vegetarian options, having struggled throughout the French Quarter for options. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts were exceptional, some of the best I've had this calendar year. The portion was ample too! Definitely enough for 2-3 people to split. The toppings make for a flavorful, texturally complex bite. The Roasted Sweet Corn Tamale was also a standout and beautifully plated! The interior was too dimly lit to capture an adequate picture. Another dish that fired on all cylinders in terms of texture, seasoning and components that paired seamlessly with one another. We will definitely be back when we visit NOLA next!
