As soon as you walked in you felt welcomed from the person at the front to the overall atmosphere. The food was delicious. The French toast was amazing. The shrimp gumbo was so flavourful. I do not usually eat bread but had the whole baguette to sop up the garlicky juices. My husband loved the shrimp and sausage grits. Overall an excellent experience. Wish we lived in New York.

I loved this spot and the staff was excellent and very friendly. I wish the food had a little more kick but I do understand that some people are sensitive to hot and spicy food so it must be hard to get it just right for the general public. The shrimp étouffé was fantastic! We will be back.

Excelente opción! No es una zona turística, por lo que prácticamente todos los comensales eran locales. Cenamos la noche de Thanksgiving un menú especial con la comida típica. Super rica y muy bien presentada. Recomendable.

The food here was absolutely incredible! I came for the Thanksgiving dinner, and everything exceeded my expectations. The turkey was perfectly moist, and the ham was delicious. From the starters all the way to dessert, there wasn’t a single thing I didn’t absolutely love. Highly recommend it!

Everything here is pretty good. The main issue is the band is soooooooo loud. The music is good, but it makes it difficult to hear and have a conversation because it is so loud.
