    Our waitress Carolina was great! She recommended the spicy crawfish tacos which were amazing but we were disappointed by everything else we ordered. We sat outside since the AC was pretty cold inside but it was pretty windy out, and the beignet dough looked more like it was made from a croissant dough. Not bad again, I would go back for the tacos but other than that, not trying again.

    I wouldn’t call the noise level energetic as much as LOUD the music wa bumping and we had to scream to talk to each other and we are only forty we aren’t even old people looking for something to complain about.

    I thought the bar tender was not friendly and also not too smart about drinks. When I asked what kinds of gin they had for a gin martini she replied I don't really know because we don't really do gin drinks here. Also she was going to charge me 19 for 1.5 shots of gin an a plain martini. Is this place really that fancy? I am used to 13-15 for the house gin. We also didn't like that there is no draft beer. Not our type of place. Won't be back.

    A place for those who like affordable dishes, heat, and spice over quality ingredients. Nothing wrong with that. Fun drinks.
