    Jambalaya was nothing but tomato-y sauce and rice. Didn’t eat it and waitress shrugged shoulders and said sorry.

    Went there for my 19th birthday yesterday, was very happy that I went and tried new stuff that I’m glad I’d tried. It was my friends first time going and she was in love with the food, the vibes, everything. We are definitely coming back before we leave for break.

    Overly priced, food was not great and the service, while it started out great, became just ok towards the end. We’re visiting NOLA and were trying to understand all the fees included in the bill. Clearly, that bothered our waitress. Do not recommend.
