    My wife and I visited this restaurant last year and the food and service were both excellent. This year when we came back we brought our daughter and we were disappointed. The service was terrible and the food was not piping hot. Specifically the jambalaya was only lukewarm as if it had been sitting out for awhile. The gator bites were cold. And the server was missing at large portions of the meal. Very sad and not what we expected. Probably won’t be back to this restaurant.

    The food was very good, but what made this experience stand out was the service. Our server Janae A. was a treasure.

    Our server saved the night. We got a call 2 hours before our reservation confirming our 6:30 reservation for 7 to celebrate my son’s 21st birthday. They said they’d be ready for us. So we were surprised when we got there to wait as they setup our table then crammed 7 of us around 2 small tables. After 10 minutes it became clear we didn’t have a server. I went and told the girl who sat us who did nothing. After another 10 mins a server asked if we had been approached when we said no he said he wasn’t our server but would take care of us. The first thing he did was get us another table to add to our 2 so we could spread out a bit. He apologized for the confusion repeatedly even though it wasn’t his fault and took care of us. The food was delicious. The drinks were strong. The restaurant is beautiful. My suggestion is retrain your seating hostess!
