    This time we got the brunch special of Korean BBQ salmon instead of my go-to lamb chops. The food was delicious and our waiter was tremendous. He made recommendations and was so personable and upbeat. The manager checked on us twice and gave us BOGO cards for the next visit. The beignets for dessert were a real treat; they were lighter than the originals at Cafe du Monde.

    Everything was tasty and delicious. My wife was not disappointed with the crawfish they were seasoned well. The frozen hurricane was flavorful and strong. Will be back.

    My wife and I went last night for Valentine’s Day. The staff was super friendly. The food was so flavorful. Our waiter was amazing. The host and the manager were both wearing smiles the entire time we felt like we were at home. The food was definitely a 10 out of 10 if I can read it it would be a 15 out of 10. I will definitely be back very soon in the other location is my first location, but was the greatest experience ever.

    Amazing ambiance, outstanding staff and priced just right for such a nice evening dinner. Only complaint was that the food was not as hot as I'd prefer it - vegetables were cold and steak was not room temperature. That happens on a busy night like Valentine's day. No other complaints, really, it was an amazing place to eat and will be back again soon.
