NEW ORLEANS – A New Orleans-based construction company is suing a Garden District restaurant for an alleged breach of contract for failing to pay for design and construction services.
Ellis Construction Inc. filed suit against Mayas Restaurant Group LLC in the Orleans Parish Civil District Court on March 3.
