“ Everytime I visit New Orleans I must pop in for some good eats. This time was no different. Our server was amazing so pleasant with a bright smile even though it was almost midnight. For the food I had the Blackened Shrimp & Chicken Pasta and good lord was ot delicious. If I could give unlimited stars for the amount of shrimp, the chef was not stingy! Vibes are super chill as well. I am never disappoined. ”
“ Went on a Saturday evening. Friendly greeting, quickly sat, got our drinks and appetizer. The oceana oysters were delicious. A little bit of hot sauce made it spicy. The pasta had plenty of crayfish and shrimp. They did not skimp out. The sauce had great seasoning and wasn't too thick or runny. It was cooked very well. The fish and the sauce on top complimented the fresh fish and was soft and flavorful. The Jambalaya was great, even better with hot sauce. The Mango passion fruit margaritas was dangerously tasty and you get to keep the cup! We had a great experience and our server was very friendly and attentive. Would go again to try more. ”

“ I visited on Saturday night and it was very busy. Had a flight to catch and we were playing it close time-wise. Everyone was so accommodating and professional. We had some luggage and the staff carried it for us to the second-floor seating. They were amazing and I was impressed. The food was delicious. We enjoyed the gator bites which were both fried and grilled. The seasoning was perfect slightly spicy but in a great way. Next, it was the special which had a taste of everything. This included the crawfish etouffe, sausage and redbeans, and jambalaya. All were amazing and came as a recommendation from our waiter. To finish we had the bread pudding which did not disappoint. Our waiter was the highlight of our night and he took such good care of us. I have been wanting to visit this restaurant for years and I'm so glad it lived up to my expectations. I wish I remembered our waiter's name, but I hope he knows how much we appreciate him for taking such great care of us. ”
“ What makes for a pleasant dining experience is when you have exceptional service and that was delivered by Alphonse H. He took care of me from the minute I stepped into the restaurant until I cashed out my check. He exemplifies what outstanding service is supposed to look and feel like.
