Website Description: Cocktails, oysters, and polite provisions in an Freret area location.

Our Take: You won’t find a restaurant with a sense of humor like Pigeon and Whale. The website alone sports flocks of feasting pigeons. That hasn’t slowed this local favorite from gathering lots of great reviews. Fresh as can be oysters, a great cocktail selection, and an eclectic menu ranging from caviar to lobster rolls to other seafood favorites. Pigeon is pricey but locals love it for special occasion outings.
