    Meghan and Murphy provided us with first class service! It was so wonderful being served by a father and daughter team. The food was outstanding! The pecan bread pudding is my new favorite dessert! Just scrumptious!

    The entire experience was wonderful! Iesha was a great server, we found out that the owner served our first drinks (made them and brought them to the table) and she was extremely hospitable and welcoming, the food and drinks were reasonably priced during happy hour (we peaked at the regular menu, also priced well), and the ambiance/vibe was perfect for a girls night out! I will definitely bring my husband back for date night!

    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.
