   Our meal wasn’t great. Fish and shrimp totally salty. Some of our food was sent to another table and we didn’t eat together. Over priced tourist trap.

   Our waiter tried but unsuccessfully. The order was messed up everywhere, from missing to incorrectly done. Drinks took over an hour to arrive. The food was half decent (blacken red fish, stuffed red fish); the gumbo was overpriced ($28) for one piece of sausage, 2 pieces of chicken and mushy half cooked rice. Do not, I repeat, do not let the server tricked you into adding jumbo lump crab meat to your dish, unless you want to pay $8 for 3 tiny broken pieces of crab meat. Our server looked exhausted, spent and half presented. The price is too expensive for the quality and portions. Go spend your money elsewhere.

   We ate at the restaurant on Christmas Day. We were seated immediately once we arrived for the reservation. It took a while for a server to come to the table. It seems there was an argument with the waiter staff as to who wanted the table. We were a party of three. Nonetheless, food service was slow. A cook came to our table to apologize for the slow service. When the first appetizer arrived it was cold. We ordered two appetizers and they came at least fifteen minutes apart. The entrees were cold and underwhelming. The restaurant automatically added a 15% gratuity to the receipt and the waiter asked for more. The overall experience was not good and I would not recommend this restaurant.

   Bartender didn’t know how to make French 75 and kept door open in freezing cold weather.

   Lots of New Orleans staples on the menu and some creative cocktails make this a good choice. We dined as a party of 7 for lunch and we were satisfied with the food and service.

   Terrible value and horrible service. The food was ok, but the staff treated us like we were a nuisance. Highly overpriced and overrated. Skip this one.

   My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner and after waiting forever for someone to check on us after being seated, we ordered food. When the food arrived, items were missing. It was not that busy, but I did feel bad for the server because it appeared as though he did not have any help. Nonetheless, the food was subpar and we will not be back.

   We waited on food for nearly two hours just to find out that there were no cooks or kitchen staff available. Instead of being informed voluntarily, I had to personally find a manager to get an answer!! POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!

    Our server was Tia….. great waitress. She was on point and didn’t steer us wrong with the food questions. Food was absolutely amazing especially the chargrilled oysters. The shrimp and grits was outstanding as well. Definitely a return spot. Oh- my drink the Blue Bayou was good too
