    This was my first time at the establishment. It had great reviews online and the hotel desk highly recommended the restaurant. The service was slow, our drinks were not tasty, and our food was bland and greasy. We ordered the French 75 as our cocktail, and the taste was just off. The crawfish dip was extremely rich and bland, with grease pools sitting in it. The shrimp and grits was bland. However, the salmon the glaze was tasty, however, the fish was overcooked.

    Excellent food. Excellent service. Was a wonderful experience The server was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. She helped us chose and brought out the food quickly. The food was delicious and their bread pudding was to die for. All the entrées were wonderful and well made. I had the bayou sampler which was a very good. The sea food was fresh and the everyone enjoyed the dishes. The overall experience was very good.

    I was disappointed when we were shown our table and it was outside. People with reservations should be given preference and not put out on the cold patio. I made the reservation for a standard table. Not a patio table. We all ate dinner with our coats on.
