About

Stunningly southern chic with an urban edge, Bootleg Special is a unique modern take on the classic inner-city speakeasies of the French Quarter. With a menu of New American cuisine inspired by bold Southern and rich Asian flavors, they serve dishes like the Bootleg Special Boil, seared halibut, and tuna crudo.

  • This place was awesome! Saw the menu when we made the reservation but didn't quite know what to expect as we both enjoy Cajun- we really liked the food! It seems to be a mash up of Cajun/asian cuisine and that's exactly what you get. The waitress was awesome, the ambiance is really cool and the restaurant is a short walk to the theatre district. We'd absolutely go back.
