    The food is always great. Well prepared and professionally presented. Our server, Isabelle, was excellent. She knew the menu and was able to explain the ingredients in the dishes to us. She made recommendations when asked and her suggestions were on target. We always enjoy our meals at this restaurant. Very friendly and warm atmosphere. Great place for a holiday meal.

    service was terrific, cocktails strong and food was tasty (shrimp/chicken with dirty rice, shrimp and grits, BBQ plates, artichoke fritters). oh and the bananas foster. only complaint was that at 7:30, they were out of the grouper and both etouffees. an early dinner crowd - we were almost the last table there at 9:30.

    Food and service always great here. Except on this night the waitress was a little rushed and unfocused. She forgot to put the order in for one of our pizzas. Then blamed it on us saying we told her we only wanted one. Not what happed at all. We initially ordered 3 pizzas and the. She said they have gluten free why don’t you do two instead so we agreed. She only put the gluten free one in to make and we never received the regular cheese.
