We like to come here when in town because it’s not touristy and the food is fresh, local and well prepared. The cocktail menu is seasonal and has lots of good classic choices. The fresh fish is always a goto for me and the Brussels sprouts as well. Don’t sleep on the crawfish mac- it is super good

We had the place to ourselves on a Sunday morning at 8 am. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious to the eyes and taste buds. By 9:30 the kitchen was busy preparing take-out orders and a few more people were beginning to arrive. We look forward to returning again before the end of our vacation.

Great service! We were disappointed that Papa Noel did not provide a sussie gift to our daughter as in years past. However, the kitchen was able to accommodate my gluten and dairy intolerance. The substitutions were so tasty!
