About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Lively
Imagine walking down the streets of New Orleans' famed French Quarter, past iron-wrought fences dripping with Mardi Gras beads and kitschy souvenir shops. You eventually stumble upon a lively joint where the stories are just as fresh as the fare. The kettle tips down and out oozes a wonder sauce cooked to perfection and served with warm rice and fresh garnish. It’s instant comfort in a bowl.

    I was raised in Louisiana, so I definitely know good oysters when I have them. In the past three months I have probably been here six times. Six times.??!!! It’s a given whenever you order a dozen oysters that there’s going to be one that’s bad. I have never had one that’s bad and I have probably had 10 dozen oysters here. Also, where else can you get fried oysters that are prepared properly? The dive oyster bar is amazing. And don’t just go for the oysters. Their gumbo is first class. Jambalaya first class. They make their own special clam chowder and it’s amazing. Had a chance to meet Jeni one of the owners on my last visit. She’s amazing and she and her partner put their hearts and soul into this place.

    Second time there. Service is very good. I split everything with hubby. Oysters excellent. Bacon wrapped shrimp very good. Dive clam chowder (elevated version) EXCELLENT. Pan Roast variety: very good but didn’t need if you get their clam chowder. Too similar but with different bases. Just don’t need both. The 2 downfalls: mai tai cocktail = very minimal booze covered in fruit juices. Sooo not worth it. Just order beer or wine. And biggest downfall: they have UFC on both TVs. Who wants to watch people kicking, bleeding, choking, etc while eating a nice dinner? People behind us were talking about it too. And Another table had their 5- yr old and were disgusted with this. The owner was oblivious.

    This was our first visit. Ernesto was our waiter. She had the house pan roast (medium), and I had the gumbo (medium). They were both served hot and fresh. Each dish was seasoned to perfection with a nice "medium kick." This experience will ensure that we return again soon with several first timers in our group. Thanks for an awesome Friday night dinner out!

    Oh my gosh, the food was amazing! My husband and I had a little bit of everything on the menu and they did not disappoint. Best lobster roll we’ve had on the west coast. The loaded mac n chowder is beyond amazing and it’s in a sourdough bread bowl which just adds to the awesomeness. And the steamed mussels and clams are so good. They season their food so well. The staff is amazingly attentive as well. We will definitely be returning soon.

    First time there and was pleasantly surprised. Nice atmosphere and while it’s all open, the noise level was fine. Our server was great and attentive and the food was delicious. Recommend the brussel sprouts. We will be back to try more.

    I used to drive all the way to Temple City for the food and I’m so glad they are now in my neighborhood. The food is excellent!

    Service was top of our list. Excellent!! Our soup wasn’t hot enough when we asked to reheat in microwave, they said No we’ll make a new batch. It was great
