That spinach dip !!! So good I've been thinking of it ever since ! The gumbo broth was amazing found it could have used a bit more meat. Jambalaya seafood was pretty good liked the muscles & shrimp were nice & big. Id definitely go back for that dip & the muscles :)

My husband & I have been going to this place for over 10 years , this was the first time the food disappointed us. The shrimps were really small & over cooked , the sauces had changed & tasted canned . The sweet potato fries were wedges overly coated in nutmeg & cinnamon so much so I couldn't finish even one. Plus the menu was cut in half , not sure what's going on but it's not the same restaurant as it was ☹? service was excellent but the meal took forever to arrive. Would think twice of going back sadly.

Hush puppies & crab cakes were over cooked in old oil. We had Blackened Chicken & it was not spicy enough & not blacked enough. Usually Cajun blacked protein have a black spicy crisp side. The Cajun limonade was very good so was the double chocolate pecan pie

This place was very tasty! We first came for a friend's birthday & had an amazing experience. The service was top notch & our waitress was fantastic.

We came back a second time with my husband to treat my brother-in-law & it was just as great. We ordered the mussels, blackened fish, steak, & jambalaya. Everything was absolutely delicious. & those killer spicy spiked lemonades? So good we're still talking about them.

Just like our first visit, the service stood out again. Our waiter was friendly, fun, & super attentive. The bar has a great vibe & we loved the open kitchen setup, great touch.

The food was extremely good, wish I could give it a 4.5. Jake was amazing, attentive but not annoying. He was helpful with my questions about where they get their andouille sausages. The hush puppies were perfect, so was the spicy dip. Meat jambalaya was great, nice & smoky & the right portion. Pecan pie was a good way to finish. The first sip of my mint julep was perfect, but I may have had all the bourbon there, didn't taste as strong after. Will 100% go back.

We used to love this restaurant & went back to our old neighbourhood yesterday just to eat there, but unfortunately, we were greatly disappointed. Although the atmosphere was still special & the service excellent, the food was underwhelming if not outright bad. We had the blackened chicken & seafood jambalaya, one of their signature dishes. The chicken was plain &, as one reviewer wrote, the only thing you could taste in the seafood jambalaya was canned tomatoes & tomato paste. There were two shrimp in the whole dish & we did not see or taste any fish. The presentation was basically just some food thrown onto a plate. Very sad that such a great restaurant with so much potential has been reduced to this.
