    The overall experience was excellent. The prime rib was excellent and cooked perfectly. Our server was outstanding. The restaurant was very loud but overall we are very glad we went and we will be back.

    The best prime rib we have ever eaten and the crab cakes were out of this world. Excellent service and we had finished dinner in a hour. Highly recommended!

    I was supprised that our local food critic had such a glowing review. I ordered the 32 oz prime rib, the house speciality. It was served cut into 5 pieces. The largest piece had the bone in and there was almost no meat on it. Both of the outer pieces ware about 50% fat. All the pieces had a lot of fat. All the pieces were about 2 inches thick, Very hard to cut into biteable pieces. For being a prime cut of prime rib the meat was VERY tough. It was cooked but really chewy. The waiter spoke in hushed tones even after repeted requests to repeat. I doubt that this was the type of meat cut the food critic was served.

    Made reservations a couple days before. Easy to find and they offer free valet but there are also multiple parking lots near their building. Greater at the door and seated promptly. Everything we ordered was delicious and if you leave hungry it’s your fault. The portions are generous sizes. We will not hesitate to return!

    The BBQ shrimp appetizer was amazing, as was the crawfish macaroni and cheese and the puffed corn casserole. The prime rib was superb.

    The food was fantastic, and give the newness of the restaurant, we won’t be too critical of the service. Waiting 45 minutes past our reservation time was not great, and jamming everyone in around the smallish bar during that time isn’t ideal. However, we weren’t in a hurry and the food was great, so we will be back and hope that they work through the kinks in service.
