Cozy restaurant with inviting ambiance. The bar is long and big enough to enjoy. Very spacious. We tried Tiny’s Gumbo. It was decent. You get a bowl with a cup of rice to enjoy. Between the chicken & sausage and the crab & shrimp, the chicken is the better choice. There barely any crab in the gumbo and 4 shrimp in the bowl. The Ol’ Fashion on Bourbon St was not spectacular. They add mezcal & cognac but it didn’t save it. I’ll try something else if I return.

Server was great as well as cocktails and deserts. Gumbo was too chunky and flavor does not come close to resturants in Nola. Crawfish mac and cheese was gritty. Flour was not cooked out well in the cheese sauce.

This was hands down, one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had. The waitress who sang to me for my birthday was gorgeous, friendly, and kind. I wish I had the money to give her a larger tip, but I've vowed to go back and consistently bring people. I am so happy the owner took the risk to open this during COVID-19—superb black and brown space. As a writer and artist, I felt deeply inspired after leaving. It felt like home.

Went on a dinner date with my spouse and it was a sucesss. The ambiance was very good. The food was amazing. The Cajun crab fingers was 1000/10. I highly recommend this restaurant. Music was low slow jazz, and the noise level was just right.
