This is a party place, it’s upbeat NOLA vibes & really good music. The overall experience was just ok, the shrimp & grits were delicious(they should’ve been thicker), and the beignets were good as well. The gumbo was extremely spicy and tastes like vegetable soup with a few pieces of shrimp & andouille. The honey cornbread, has the taste & consistency of Jiffy cornbread drizzled with honey. The morning bartender was a bit snippy when we arrived, she later softened up. The cocktails were subpar, a manhattan which was served over crushed ice, French 75 served in a wine glass with a straw, a candy apple red cosmo. If you are a cocktail connoisseur this is not the place for you. They literally use Reàl Fruit Infused Flavoring Syrup as a mixer for most of the cocktail recipes. I’d go back again to try the catfish nuggets & drink champagne or Prosecco. The hostess was amazing, I can’t remember her name but, she was a pleasure. It looks so much more inviting, sophisticated, alluring, & hot on IG.

Jayda was so inviting when we entered and gave us great service and menu advice! Food and cocktails were all incredibly delicious and authentic (yay beignets!). Jayda also didn't make us feel rushed even though it was a slow Monday night after 9:30. Felt like we went to NOLA for 2 hours. Will be back! 😁

We were nervous with seeing mixed reviews on service but glad we went anyway. The food was amazing, our service Donna was amazing and the ambiance was also just as amazing. I highly recommend! It is a very small space but it didn’t feel as if we couldn’t enjoy our own space or hear our own table conversation. 10/10

I read the review from their website and I chose to go because of the live music. However upon arriving I was informed that their website is incorrect regarding live music. They might consider adding it back later in the year. However, the drinks during happy hour were awesome. Food was typical bar food. The cheesecake was to die for!!! Would go again.

Food was good but the service was very bad. The server kept disappearing and didn’t even charge our card right. Will not be returning.
