    We have dined here a few times before. The food was very good. I did think that the Shrimp Etouffee was a little on the salty side but it could have been my tastebuds.

    Food was overpriced. Only 6 shrimp on the shrimp poboy for almost $20. Had better at the French Market area for half the price. $24 for a bowl of seafood gumbo which hsd only a few shrimp. Would not go back as I did not find it worth the money.

    The wood grilled redfish was good ---------- we split it and server brought 2 plates. The server was Frand and very good. We could have done without the catfish / redfish bites --------- they should offer one or other not mixed ------ I would have wanted the catfish bites. I think my wife enjoyed the fried green tomatoes.
