    The second time is the charm! Everything was awesome!Food was delicious, waitress was awesome, ambience nice, noise level low. I was a little upset the first time we went in December 2024. It was a party of six. The waitress kept disappearing in action. When we asked for more bread between the six of us ,she said we would be charged for each additional bread. When my husband ask for an additional 2 tablespoon container of tartar sauce,to go with his catfish platter. he was told it would be an additional 50cents per container….really on over a $400.00 bill,you are going to nickel and dime us on bread and tartar sauce..outrageous!!!Then to top it off the menu says no more than 3 credit cards per table,the waitress refused to split the bill into 3 payments, she said only 2 cards accepted ,we had to Zelle money between us to pay with only 2 cards ,which was aggravating as hell and let’s not forget the upcharge for using a credit card!!! Lesson here, don’t go with a large group, or tell everyone to bring cash! Dining for 2 was a much more pleasant experience.Once again food is awesome!

    We went on a Saturday night and the restaurant was busy but the overall ambient noise level wasn't overwhelming. Our server was really nice and gave good menu recommendations. The food was good but not outstanding, there are better places in the French Quarter.

    Everything was great. I was not impressed with the red beans n rice. The look n texture was there but I've never eaten red beans n rice with a vinegar flavor. I enjoyed the catfish n potatos

    I had made reservations for this place specifically because it says they have oyster happy hour from 11-3. We arrive and we sit at the bar and ask about the happy hour and they said “There is any happy hour that starts at 11.” They didn’t have any oysters at the time of our visit but the guy behind the bar was shucking oysters the whole time we were there but they didn’t sell any. Tables were leaving because they “didnt have” oysters. I had catfish and jambalaya it was good. The shrimp and grits was okay. Overall we wouldn’t choose to dine here again.
