    Food and service was very good. They were missing quite a few menu items that I was looking forward to trying, which was pretty disappointing.  drinks were really good, especially the hurricane.

    This is a great addition to the Cincinnati restaurant scene. Three of us shared four dishes and all were excellent. Definitely worth a try!

    We were looking forward to trying a new place as we’ve grown to love Cajun. The service was extremely slow. Mind you, this was 6PM on a Thursday. Seemed like there was only one waitress. We were seated at a booth near the entrance- no big deal. However, Was not aware there was going to be a live singer. She was great but it made it difficult to carry a conversation as she was two booths distance from us and the booth was wider than normal, already making it hard to talk across the table to each other without being louder than I plan when conversing with my SO on a date night. The food was okay. Nothing spectacular to write home about. Cajun corn dip was good, the pita chips with it were amazing though. The crab cakes were mushy. The pasta was good (I had chicken, he had crawfish). The jambalaya was tasty. Side note, they bring water to the table (no ice and did not get a refill brought to us with fresh water during our time there). Also, Boardwalk Empire was on the TV at the bar… nudity, sex scene, vulgar language. This was definitely a one and done for us.

    We were first in at 4pm. The gumbo, fried shrimp and cold slaw were good.

    We were excited to try the menu. The only let down was the food was over seasoned. Especially the crab cake appetizer and catfish. My boyfriend liked the pasta dish which I ate a few bites and enjoyed. We will be back again to see if it was an odd occurrence. They were short staffed
