Darla and Daniel were incredible waiters. Knowledgeable, great interaction. Food was perfect! Fried oysters with tasso gravy reduction was bomb. For those who don't know, tasso is Cajun smoked pork legs with extremely deep smoke. Then duck confit, thigh and drumb. Finished with peppermint ice cream and glacee drizzled with chocolate.

We’re traveling for a conference and saw this place was nearby - did not disappoint. The escargot was so good. Absolutely loved my Louisiana Cioppino and the bread pudding flavors and texture was spot on. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food! Over two visits we tried numerous dishes and all were excellent representations of Nola cooking. Inside is nice, not to fancy but still classy.

All of the savory dishes, gumbo, boudin, BBQ shrimp and grits were excellent. The praline bread pudding might have been the highlight alongside the boudin.
