The Pasta Evangeline was wonderful, lots of garlic and shrimp. The fried okra was the best we’ve ever had and was a great appetizer. A great choice for a delicious meal.

Do not trust the online menu. They do not have a filet, bacon wrapped shrimp, or a catch of the day for dinner. Other than that it was a great dinner.

The food was beautiful aesthetically, but we had to add salt and pepper to bring out the flavor. We enjoyed it. They have a very beautiful courtyard in the back.

Group of 5 dined there. The waiter was nice so was another that took photos for us and asked if we needed things. As for the food, it was quite mediocre. Our group had the seafood platter, jambalaya, alligator, gumbo, and fried crawfish and pickles. All of the fried foods were dried out with not much flavor.

The app and entrees were fine, There were a few issues. Being seated at the front table meant that guests waiting for tables were clustered right next to us. Combined with the draft every time the door opened, it made for an uncomfortable experience. Our waiter never asked us if we wanted coffee or dessert and just dropped the check after clearing our entree plates. As we told the restaurant it was a special occasion, we expected better. I suspect they never read the notes on the reservation. We won't be going back. Nor will I recommend the place.

Enjoyed our brunch. The fried pickles and crawfish were very good. The red beans and rice were good, the shrimp poorboy was good but have had better in NOLA. The crawfish and grits was the winner. Hefty portion, rich and very delicious!

So happy we found a NOLA place that reminded us of old-school, charming, cajun gems. Outstanding.
