Went for anniversary dinner and food was DELICIOUS! The filet was perfect! The fish is the day with jambalaya and crawfish was so tasty. Honestly everything was very tasty! Service was great and attentive. Would definitely go back again
Outstanding food and service. Try the crab soup and the steak! Well worth the trip! Sat at the bar each time we have been. White tablecloth, but no required dress code.
Everything was wonderful. Our server was patient and knowledgeable. She was attentive but also gave adequate space. The food was incredible! We would totally go back and highly recommend the filet mignon!
Went here on a Saturday evening for dinner. Got the duck three way and the fish. Both were amazing and so well seasoned. The duck was so tender. Got the banana foster for dessert and the presentation was the best part. The dessert was generous and very well flavored. The drinks were also a generous amount of liquor but mixed well. Will be back for sure.
