    What a delightful experience. We at outside next to the fountain. Our server was wonderful. My husband has the jambalaya and I had the steak po boy. The steak was done perfectly. We had flourless chocolate cake for dessert and it was amazing.

    We made reservations and were promptly seated. The restaurant smelled horrible. We still decided to stay - after waiting for 10-15 minutes for a server, we left. They were not that busy and there were 2 servers by us - nobody had the time to acknowledge our table, so we took our business elsewhere.

    Friday night - short staffed - took 45 minutes to get a drink. In a city of great food, I’m not sure how this place is even in business.

    I definitely wish I would have eaten in the courtyard rather than the dining room! When I walked through the courtyard it was very beautiful & didn’t seem to be as loud; the dining room was ugly & felt like dining in an unfinished basement & was also very noisy. The staff were friendly but the service was pretty slow. My two appetisers, my two cocktails and my main course were all extremely delicious but the flourless chocolate cake I had for dessert was very disappointing & was probably the worst flourless chocolate cake I’ve ever eaten! (It tasted more like a Hostess brownie than flourless chocolate cake)

    The food was amazing (catfish, firecracker shrimp, jambalaya, and hush puppies) and the service was even better. I can’t recommend this place enough!
