Perhaps we caught them on a bad night, but the service here was unfriendly and impersonal - not at all what we are used to in New Orleans. This included the hostess, bartender, waitress and servers with the exception of one server. We felt very rushed and couldn't even get a second round of bread - when we asked the server told us they needed to bake some more and it would be 5-10 minutes - it never showed up. We felt like they couldn't wait for us to leave to they could close up. Hey - if you don't want to serve late don't make 9:00 pm reservations!\r

Cochon does not even come close to our other dining experiences in New Orleans at places like Stella, The Rib Room, NOLA or Emerils. If all you care about is food you probably won't mind, but I like to enjoy the whole experience which includes the service from the moment I walk in the door. We got better service at the Camellia Grill - a burger joint where our bill was $10 unlike Cochon where it was over $200.
