    We sat outside to eat and was able to enjoy the live music. We ordered the brisket BBQ nachos and Cajun pasta. The pasta was great and the nachos were pretty good. The drinks were expensive but nothing out of the ordinary. We loved the music and the overall vibe.

    Blandest carbonara I’ve ever had in my life- no exaggeration. No salt, pepper, or any other seasoning. Pork chop was decent but overdone, steak was also very underwhelming and overcooked. Ambiance was great, waitress had no idea about any of the wines or pairings or if the food was good, just what was ordered most often.

    The chef Jason made the most tasty dish that I've had in a long time. It was fried hreen tomatoes with crawfish tails on top. He actually came out to the table and spoke with us very courteous and accommodating. Everyone was kind and professional. Excellent ambiance. Great experience. Thank you, Michael, for your kindness and professionalism. See you soon!
