Incredible Cajun and neo-Cajun and Creole food. Best Louisiana cuisine outside of Louisiana. The honey butter cornbread and oysters are a must. Our waiter, Rocco, was outstanding. Valet parking and secured parking with validation is available. Don’t use Buffalo Speedway to enter the garage. Enter from Richmond (eastbound) instead.

Came here to celebrate my birthday/Friendsgiving, it was a party of 5. Even though I booked my reservation weeks prior, on night of my reservation we still had bit of a wait but the young gentleman that waited us was very polite and apologetic about it. The restaurant is gorgeous, the vibes are amazing and the food and drinks are a 10. Just be cautious with a large party there will be added gratuity and the check cannot be split separately which I had no knowledge of, that was the only thing I did not like, but overall I would definitely recommend Prey.
