    It was beyond uncomfortably hot inside. The food was great, but dinner was almost miserable due to the heat inside.

    Restaurant was nice. Inside and outside seating. Good bar selection. Noise level was low so it was nice for families. Service was great. Food was okay. The shrimp po boy had tons of breading on the shrimp to make it look like there was more shrimp than there was. Bread was huge. Fries were soggy and not crispy at all. No flavor on the fries so you must mut the State of Confusion spices on from the table. Burgers made our stomachs hurt afterwards. Poor quality meat. The fries with the Burger were the same, soggy and not crispy. Lettuce wraps were good. Nice plating with plenty of sauce. Overall, it was not as great as people talk about. Good place for dates and social gatherings. If I go again, I will definitely have to try something else from the menu.

    Waited 45 minutes to be seated (with a reservation). Server was really friendly with good follow up. Food was overcooked, $10 pie slice was maybe 3/8” high and 1/10th of s pie. Cocktails were meh. Ceviche was good, but chips served with them were few & tough. The lucuma ice cream was delicious! Cook came out to discuss food allergy, which was great, but ultimately kitchen failed to execute and plate had to be returned to kitchen. Kitchen in general was slow - took 15 minutes to get dessert after ordering.

    Really great place and a fun restaurant. Great food! The service was a little lacking tonight. The server was a great personality, etc.. Just super busy. I’m sure it was just a matter of staffing. Like everywhere. We do love this restaurant!

    Great experience. Food and drinks were fresh and flavorful. Our waitress was awesome... super friendly, helpful and engaging. Fun place. We tried a bit of everything and loved it all. We will return next time we are in the area.

    Good food and excellent service. Atmosphere was nice but pretty noisy. Our main courses were the crawfish lobster cake entree and the blackened red fish. Both were good with the exception of the grilled asparagus. The chocolate bread pudding was decadent.
