    The food was really good, but what truly made our experience memorable was the service. Our server, Rashaan, was amazing—attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. He gave great recommendations!

    Our server was outstanding. It took forever to get our food (desert came 1.5 hours after we sat down). The server kept apologizing and she tried to keep things moving but to no avail. The gumbo and chopped salad were excellent. The fried shrimp po-boy was below average. The bread was dry and “bready” and it completely fell apart after the first bite. Not a good choice. The grilled fish was very good. The place was very noisy so you couldn’t have a conversation. Maybe it was a bad night for them. We would give them a second visit but, given all of the places to eat in NOLA, it wouldn’t be at the top of our list.

    We had two servers and Anne totally stood out. She went above and beyond to take care of her table and ours too. Well done. We did have food that came out cold and a couple items that were recommended fell short, but all in all it was not a bad time.

    Worth the trip. Real good food. Professional and knowledgeable wait staff! Front desk hostess could be nicer but not a reason to avoid this Bourbon Street gem.

    We have dined here a few times before. The food was very good. I did think that the Shrimp Etouffee was a little on the salty side but it could have been my tastebuds.
