Very well planned Creole and Cajun menu. Excellent assortment for everyone. Only comment, portion sizes are huge. Might be worth splitting a plate. The catfish Decatur had the best jambalaya I've ever had.

Quickly seated after we arrived for reservation. Waiter friendly and quick to offer suggestions and favorites. Had drinks, appetizer, entree and dessert for our group of 4. Redfish was sublime and favorite of our entrees. Everything we had very good. Both desserts were good but pecan pie better if brought to room temp.

The place was packed but we were seated pretty fast. Saints game had everything busy and loud but it was fun and lively food came out fast and hot. Bbq shrimp was amazing and smelled even better. Grilled bread was great to soak up the sauce after!

    Amazing food as always. The shrimp pakora and tuna crudo were amazing. We also had the grilled pork and it was so juicy and so fresh off the wood fired grill. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food and an upbeat ambience.
