    A beautiful dining experience. The wait staff was incredibly kind and patient of my 4yo and they made the experience amazing. The food was fantastic, and I highly recommend trying the crab bisque if it’s available when you visit.

    Honestly was a little worried after reading reviews but thankfully I’m a food person who doesn’t judge a place based on a few bad experiences during a holiday. Everything was fantastic! My server was attentive and friendly, very helpful with the menu as well! The Bbq Shrimp appetizer was delicious, the gulf fish tasty especially with a glass of house Chardonnay and the pot de creme so deliciously chocolately I almost got another! All in all this place was fantastic and I’d definitely go back!

    There were 8 of us and the Revellion menu had something for us all. Not one of the group was dissatisfied with any part of the meal. Two meals of particular brilliance were the chopping and the roasted duck. The ciopino was all Louisiana in style and in flavor. The roasted duck in a grape blueberry confit was genius and easily the best game bird I ever tasted. An honorable mention and very honorable indeed was the pork chop which was thick delicious and tender. Randy provided an excellent night of service, knowledgeable and attentive. A very professionable waiter.
