I Enjoyed the lobster bisque. Very savory and great to the taste buds. I also went with the shrimp creole that was tantalizing to the taste buds. I topped things off with a "key lime pie" cocktail. EXCELLENT CHOICE ...

Love this place. The Crawfish Etouffee is so good. Also had the Smoked Whitefish dip. The staff was great accommodating my low(er) carb preferences—a side of veggies instead of rice with the etouffee (green beans dipped in the etouffee gravy is delicious); cucumber slices instead of crackers for the whitefish dip. Would love to see seafood gumbo (shrimp, crab, crawfish) added to the menu ;)

Thanks Tara, I think a seafood Gumbo is a great idea. I don't think we can pull it off as a daily item but could be a weekend special. perhaps we will try it out on our

You'll be very disappointed if you go here expecting the food to taste like New Orleans. There's no way to compete with fresh from the Gulf shrimp , for example-that would be an unfair comparison. However (no pun), there is no excuse for the mediocre execution of the dishes they serve. The food isn't bad - just lackluster. The red beans and rice, for example, had good flavor but the beans were watery...no excuse for beans with no gravy. The gumbo needs work, as do the other Creole staples; not bad, just not really good. Wait... read more

I appreciate your feedback,and hope to talk to you in the future about your experiences.

Drinks good. Food okay. Service horrible. Our server acted as if we were bothering him.
