The food was amazing. I got the snapper Poboy, which was HUGE! And it only cost $20, such a great bargain. We also got the whole crab with Black and prawns but subbed out our garlic noodles for greens and yams. Delicious! We will be returning!

Generally, the food was delicious and the service staff was attentive and welcoming. A lot of guests on a Wednesday! My husband and I tried different dishes and were especially impressed with the barbecue shrimp and the cornbread! Overall, a great experience!

We went for restaurant week and it was incredible. This is somewhere I’ve always been wanting to go and I wish I had gone sooner. Our waitress was so kind and attentive (sorry I don’t remember her name). The food was amazing especially the tuna tartar taco and the filet medallions. We each got different cocktails and the standout was the Not your daddy’s old fashioned.

I really love this place. The menu is always interesting and changing. I’ve eaten here 4 times, and always look forward to the deviled eggs and whatever soup they have for the night. Their specialty cocktails are pricey, and hit or miss for me. Make sure to designate you want a table, which I prefer over a sofa or the bar.
