    Jambalaya was amazing! Creole chopped salad was unique. The service was excellent in a fun atmosphere. I would definitely return next time I'm in town.

    The only place in this area I would say has authentic Cajun dishes. The fried catfish on a bed of etouffee is amazing. Although, I could have skipped the Mussels. Wife liked them though!

    Had lunch with a friend and decided to sit outside since the weather was nice. Inside, the restaurant has a welcoming and cozy ambiance that immediately sets the tone for a great meal. The food was outstanding—I had the shrimp and grits, which were rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. My friend ordered the blackened chicken, and every bite was packed with great taste. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The service was excellent as well attentive, friendly, and efficient. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning!

    I love this place. The food here is amazing and the drinks are really crafty, you’ll definitely find something that suits your liking, just tell him your base alcohol and they’ll concoct something for you. The Shrimp and grits is one of the best I’ve had. The Rockefeller oysters were good, however it doesn’t come on the shell (if someone is picky about that), but I really enjoyed it with the garlic bread. They play live music as well, which was a nice touch to our casual dinner in the lounge. All the servers and bartenders were really attentive and our water glass was always full.

    Great food! Loved the shrimp and grits. The seafood cakes were yummy and my son said the pork belly po boy was fantastic. They even had live music.

    I went here on a date with the lady on a Friday night. Got there an hour before closing and were treated as if we just came in at opening time. Friendly and courteous and attentive staff all around. Hush puppies were so tasty and didn't even need any peppers or aioli. My shrimp and grits were PERFECT the grit's consistency was PERFECT. My lady's jambalaya was seasoned with love and impeccable effort. Price was NOT BAD for 2 entrees 2 drinks and one appetizer. It started a great date night for us and can't wait to come eat again.

    Overall Good food, good presentation, good service, and good ambiance; I would have no objections in returning here although a little too much on the pricey side. Having been in Louisiana several times (and as someone that lived in the south for many years), the spice and flavor there are a few notches more intense than here. The grits by themselves were a little too bland.
