We didn’t enjoy our table even tough I had the reservation and the restaurant was not crowded they put us on a table almost next to the kitchen.For the first time customers I would expect a better spot for us to go back.To be able to enjoy the ambiance they should direct us to a better table.I don’t think we will be back…

While we had an early reservation, we appreciated the special attention, honoring happy hour drink prices and the willingness of waiter/chef to split our main entree. The view was superb and the atmosphere was special. Great music & Mardi Gras decor.
