Everything was great. Just the overall feel of the place between the building and decor is warm and inviting. As for our food, our table ordered the steak frites, the short rib pasta and the Voodoo Pasta. I happily tasted both of the pastas and they were delicious as was my steak/fries. We also had the wedge and local garden salad. Fresh abd great. For cocktails, we had a margarita and the Salt of the Earth. Both were great I would order any of these again. Service was fast and friendly. Can’t wait to go back.

The food was excellent. They were able to make a small substitution with a sauce because I don't like truffles.

This was our first visit. The raw oysters were great and so were the Oysters Rockefeller. Those were the best we have ever had. Highly recommended. The hushpuppies were great. The fish sandwich was huge and tasty. Our server, Constance, was very helpful and attentive. She made our dining experience very pleasant and enjoyable. We will definitely return soon.
