We sat at the bar for the 1st time. The bartender’s service was amazing. She was attentive, professional and courteous. We requested a tv channel change to the Tulane game & she happily obliged. Outstanding experience!

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.

    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.
