Super Noisy! The excited voices of friends and family connecting with one another at other tables during the holidays, on top of relatively loud house music, made it difficult to hear our soft-spoken waiter. The salad greens in the Caesar were a bit chewy, but the fried shrimp I added was a generous portion and well seasoned with just a touch of heat in the batter. Gumbo was excellent and very traditional based on my experience living in Louisiana! Easy parking in the shopping center lot.

Always love this restaurant, but it’s usually hard to get into. Luckily I made reservations well in advance. The ambience was lovely. The food was well priced and delicious. They were very busy so the service was a little slow. I would definitely go back.
