    Everyone was awesome - from the host who made sure our large party was seated all together to our waitress who handled the large party amazingly. The DJ was awesome and super nice to our group. And the kids had fun dancing around and singing.

    We enjoyed the drinks and appetizers. The service was very slow and the main course was disappointing.

    Chili week specials were okay (what brought us downtown to try) & husbands love for Moerlien’s Barbarossa microbrew remains solid! Mardi Gras gumbo was wonderful & the voodoo neon drink was interesting. View is always amazing over the park & historic Roebling bridge. Crazzzy busy & they worked with us on a late arrival.
