    My wife and I have been coming to this restaurant over the last few years. We have enjoyed ourselves, the food and the ambience. Tonight was different…We are not sure what the expectation is. Is the theme Tapas or regular dishes? My lamb shank was excellent, and the Eggplant appetizer however, my wife’s dish the drum was very, very small and not very tasty with bloodline. please offer bread to the table without the charge… we will come back, just trying to offer feedback

    Excellent service from Susan. She allowed us plenty of time to enjoy a leisurely meal while still being very attentive. We ordered drinks and the Boudin & Grits appetizer. My wife's Woodford Reserve on the rocks was a generous pour. The bonding was full of flavor, and combined with the other ingredients was quite amazing. Next, we ordered the Crabmeat Maison. Wow, a large portion of outstanding lump crabmeat served with crackers and cocktail sauce. Both small plates were enough to split. We split the smoked short rib entre. We probably could have each had our own, but we were still satisfied. The smokiness was wonderful. It was served over Butternut squash with black-eyed peas and cranberries. Again, an excellent and unique combination of flavors. We will definitely return on our next visit to New Orleans.

    Everything was so delicious. We ordered the crispy turkey necks to start, chicken thighs, and oxtails. The turkey necks were fried perfectly, and the pepper jelly on it surprisingly worked really well with them. The chicken was falling off the bone and full of flavor. The oxtail was my least favorite of the night but still not bad at all (the gravy or jus was a little different). Tender. Serving sizes for everything were generous; we could’ve easily split one entree. We’ll be back!
