    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.

    The food was delicious. An outside door was opened for the bar… noise from and outside street drummer was too loud to enjoy conversation at our table. Our initial food order was served to the wrong table… our food was brought to us a few minutes later. I think it’s rude when a server looks at my plate and comments about how I might have enjoyed my food by the looks of the leftover food on my plate… “It looks like you enjoyed your meal!”

    Our waitress Allie was very knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. The grilled Redfish dish and Alligator sausage and seafood gumbo were delicious. I would dine here again.

    Very nice restaurant but the noise level was high due to the very loud table next to us. When my companion ordered a second drink our server brought me another which I did not order or want. We shared an entrée and we were brought four plates because the order somehow was put in twice. We shared the redfish with a crawfish sauce and we shared the locals salad, it was plenty to share and was excellent.
