Despite asking for my main course three times, 30 minutes later and after my friends had all finished their meals, my main meal was still missing. � At that point I cancelled mine and the response from the waitress was a clueless stare and “ok”. It’s probably a good thing that the chef and owner (David) who was roaming the restaurant didn’t stop by our table.

Went there for Fat Tuesday/Marti Gras lunch. I love the food here but, was disappointed that they don't play more New Orleans music. Even on regular days, I wish they played more music of New Orleans. I mean that's their theme, all the food is based on New Orleans flavor, so why don't they include the music. Other than that, I would give them a 5 star.

The staff are professional, very accommodating- the chefs Dave and Tom are exceptional- Andy and I go there and he’s getting the French fries every time - and they get a kick out of his fries habit!
