    We had a delightful waiter (Steven). Very attentive and friendly. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested a wonderful vegetarian option which was amazing. (Did notice that our food took longer to arrive to our table. Tables next to us arrived after we were seated and after we ordered, received their food first). Still five stars ⭐️

    Darla and Daniel were incredible waiters. Knowledgeable, great interaction. Food was perfect! Fried oysters with tasso gravy reduction was bomb. For those who don't know, tasso is Cajun smoked pork legs with extremely deep smoke. Then duck confit, thigh and drumb. Finished with peppermint ice cream and glacee drizzled with chocolate.

    We had a round table for 8, which is ideal for connecting with each other. Service was excellent, very friendly and professional. The food was also great, “traditional” New Orleans style. The $55 prix fixe menu was a great value. Would highly recommend the shrimp and grits, gumbo, and drum. All perfectly prepared.

    Overall, great experience. Our waitress was superb, spinach salads were the best I have ever had. The calzone was good, could have been excellent, however, undercooked. Pizza similar. They cook should know the outside of calzones should be browned and a little crispy Same with pizza crust Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant. Jeff
