    Absolutely awful experience. Rude service. Not attentive. Order arrived wrong. Took two hours for dinner. Miserable. Would never return. Manager was worthless. Would never recommend this dump.

    Food was very good and service was excellent. However, the cocktails were watered down. I wouldn’t expect this especially given the price of the cocktails

    Overall the experience was pretty good. Service was attentive, the food was very good and well presented. Inside diners was sparse but outside was pretty filled. Was the first cool Sunday in 8 months so that was probably to be expected!

    Terrible experience and horrible food. Wait staff non-attentive and not quite friendly. We ordered gumbo but it looked and tasted more like chili with shrimps. Please don’t reinvent the wheel; if you want to put a twist to good old classic dish, do it right. The tuna cocktail tasted slimey. Only the tuna burger was somewhat decent. Definitely not coming back.

    Fun Friday night happy hour. Drinks were great (lived the Smokey Old Fashioned). Food was good, but small portions. Good place for meeting with friends.

    We were on the patio and enjoyed fabulous cocktails and oysters then moved on to great fried shrimp and crab Louie. The wine list was filled with affordable options. The staff was amazing. We will be back soon.
