    Starting with a warm and welcoming setting, our dining experience was phenomenal! Staff was friendly and professional! Our waiter took time to explain the nuances of their daily prepared menu. Our food was incredible, the drinks delicious and service impeccable.

    Server did his best but did not have an assistant so service was lacking. Too loud for my taste as we have problems understanding explanations from the server.

    Maybe the best fine dining experience we have ever had. From the moment we arrived and were greeted with a table peppered in confetti to celebrate our anniversary, we knew it was going to be a great experience. Aaron, our server set the stage of two hours of fantastic recommendations (Blue Tuna appetizer, Red Snapper, GW Fins special halibut) and walked us through every tiny detail from the appetizers through the final espresso martini. My only regret is that i truly should have left a larger tip! Hopefully this review makes up for that. Special shoutout to Kevin for the anniversary serenade!! Thank you for making it a great anniversary dinner!! Couldn’t recommend enough!

    The food is amazing at this restaurant, the chef changes the menu daily and creates the most beautiful presentations. The scope crusted halibut was one of the most creative dishes I have ever eaten. The atmosphere is subversive and looks like a modern swamp. I recommend this place to everyone visiting New Orleans
