We had a round table for 8, which is ideal for connecting with each other. Service was excellent, very friendly and professional. The food was also great, “traditional” New Orleans style. The $55 prix fixe menu was a great value. Would highly recommend the shrimp and grits, gumbo, and drum. All perfectly prepared.

Truly enjoyed the Brunch and Show. Fabulous food and service. Would definitely recommend it to others. Tips: when you arrive you have to show your ID…must be 21 to get into it; you check in outside then wait to be called in; then are seated by the hostesses; then you have 20 minutes to get your order in before the show starts.

Quiet and intimate atmosphere and a peaceful and slow surrounding neighborhood. Everyone was friendly and insightful and the food was amazing. Lowcountry Shrimp and grits 10/10 Waffle Du Jour 8/10 (super sweet but I know some folks go for that so may be 10/10 for you!)

All of the savory dishes, gumbo, boudin, BBQ shrimp and grits were excellent. The praline bread pudding might have been the highlight alongside the boudin.
