The restaurant’s ambiance was beautiful, and the setup was inviting. The young lady at the front was very friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression. I came in hoping to try the spicy shrimp creole, but the server essentially talked me out of it saying it was likely too spicy, without any true understanding of my heat or spice tolerance. So I went with the shrimp étouffée instead. Unfortunately, it didn’t have the bold flavor I was expecting. I spent the evening regretting the choice. My partner ordered a mildly spicy dish that ended up having little to no heat. The standout, however, was the Bourbon bread pudding—it was absolutely delicious and the best part of our meal. I do wish it was served with smaller spoons to better enjoy each bite. If I return, it will be for the cocktails and that amazing dessert.

Excellent food. Everything was amazing. I didn’t love the oyster texture but everyone else did. The steak is a must have. The fried seafood app and crab fingers are worth a visit on their own. T

The price fixed lunch was a great introduction to their menu. The crawfish was delectable and tasted like I wanted more. For the second course I chose the crab and shrimp gumbo with the vegan base. I thought the gumbo was tasty however the rue a bit bitter as if over toasted. I felt the chunks of celery in the broth were unappealing. The taste profile was good.
