Service was fantastic and the young lady that served us did a wonderful job serving 9 people. Oysters Rockefeller was superb, they were a pinch small, but tasted wonderful. The wedge salad was "ok", not bad not great. My New York strip steak was over cooked and a little tough. The side of broccoli was at best luke warm. The Cheesecake is to die for. We will return, just will not get the New York strip.

Loved the atmosphere and the food was delicious. Waitress and staff were friendly. However, the jambalaya was a 1/4 of the size of all the other entrees at our table. It was like eating sauce and rice. There were a total of 5 very tiny pieces of seafood and nothing else in the sauce.
