About us

Our Story

Gentilly is owned by long-term Excelsior residents Sarah Duncan and Alexis Hyatt who developed Gentilly over their shared love for New Orleans food and culture. An eclectic French quarter-themed establishment, Gentilly offers a full bar serving up classic New Orleans cocktails, like a Hurricaine, as well as rotating house craft cocktails developed by bar managers Brett Davis and Jake Hirschfeld.

Sarah brings the heat with classic dishes like Gumbo and Red Beans and Rice while also bringing in some modern flare with dishes like the Fried Chicken and a Macaroni and Cheese Waffle. And if anyone has room left, Alexis dishes out the sweetness with treats like beignets, flourless chocolate cake and many other baked delights. Gentilly is a cozy and quirky neighborhood gathering spot that offers a relaxed and bohemian break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
