Super cute spot, if only for a glass of wine. N7 does not serve traditional New Orleans food; they specialize in "can-to-table" (caviar, other canned goods) that are imported from all over the world. Fun to find: there aren't a lot of lights or signs, which makes it feel extra special once you step inside the big wooden gate.
