    Really good food and fast service. Spicy definitely is spicy but drinks are really good and water refills.

    I can honestly say the food is great. Everything tastes fresh and seasoned very well. My only problem, which lowered my overall experience was the service we received. I did have a reservation and was seated immediately, and that was it. Nobody came to the take to bring us water, take our order or simply as if we were ready to order. The hostess sat us at a table that wasn’t prepared for dining. There was no paper on the table for us, for when we start eating and eventually when the waiter came over he served us warm water. Also, they gave advertised happy hour on Sundays from 1pm-6pm for $9 drinks and then charged us $15 each for the drink stating it was a holiday and they don’t have happy hour on holidays. Mother’s Day is not considered a national holiday.

    I definitely enjoyed the seafood boil with snow crab legs and shrimp. The cajun seasoning mix was really great! Small space, so make reservations if possible.

    Terrible, la peor experiencia de cómoda estilo Louisiana en New York, la “manager” es una china coreana, oriental o no se de donde súper grosera prepotente y altanera, la pasamos muy mal, nunca había recibido un trato así. Te obligan a elegir lo que ellos quieren y altanera final quieren que dejes la propina como si fuera el mejor lugar, no es, no vayan.

    I ordered the lobster and head off shrimp, with cajun sauce which was delicious 😋. The tables where a bit small which resulted in me knocking water off and getting the couple next to me a little bit wet. Overall it was a good night
