    First impression wasn’t giving bc we were told to wait with a reservation but once we were seated ? AMAZING. Service was top notch, the manager came and checked on us our server was elite. When we told her we don’t eat pork she let us know the fries were fried in shared grease and helped us to find another option. The calamari was absolutely delicious and the biggest portion I’ve seen served for such a great price. We were skeptical about the cuisine being that we have roots in Louisiana but wow the flavor was amazing and the wine was very tasty but effective.

    Since discovering their smoked Prime Rib dinner (Fri-Sun), our frequency of visits has increased only to learn that this favorite may soon be going away. Maybe if they could get the word out they could sell more. Table tents, e-mail, menu inserts, server upsell. Also, we were delighted to have been given a $20 bounce back coupon good on our next visit. Unfortunately, it seems the coupon had already expired Jan 31.
