    The entree that I had was absolutely delicious. I don't remember the name but it consisted of fied eggplant atop angel hair pasta with a crawfish and shrimp cream sauce. The server told me that it was one of their signature dishes, as it should be

    Excellent meals and service. It was our first time there. I had the eggplant with pasta and shrimp( recommended by the waiter). My friend had the fried seafood platter. The portions were large! We got to enjoy it twice. Delicious. Looking forward to returning.

    This is always one of our favorites to meet for lunch! It's great for family and friends to meet, a date night, reunions, etc! The service is always above and beyond and the food is spectacular! Parking can be a small issues during peak times but it is SO worth it! Absolutely the best neighborhood gem around!

    You can operate in the dining room. Uncomfortably bright. Forgot my sunglasses at home, didn’t think I would need it. Sat in the bar, instead which was 10 times better. Bartender was great. Food was good. Good AC. Bar is a good place to watch sports. Get some dimmers for the dining room.

    I always tell friends from out of town not to worry what restaurant they go to in New Orleans, you just can't get a bad meal here. This restaurant proves that Metairie is not New Orleans. The ambience is great if you like eating in hospital cafeterias. Very stark, brightly lit and noisy with no attempt at making the surroundings attractive. The food was absolutely terrible. My seafood gumbo was thin and watery. The eggplant Sophie was supposed to come with a light cream sauce, but came with the same kind of white gravy you get with biscuits for breakfast. The angel hair pasta was over cooked and mushy. My wife's pecan encrusted catfish was tasteless, watery, encrusted in breadcrumbs rather than pecans and had just a few pecans dropped on the top that were then burned. Her green beans looked, felt and tasted as if they had come from a can and were smothered and God knows what. This was a once in a lifetime experience. We are never going back.

    An average restaurant with average food. The reviews, rating, and pictures are misleading. Should consider putting up another vestibule wall in the foyer. The blast of air and noise from the front door air curtain was not helping the ambience, especially on a winter night. The food was ok. One cut of steak, and it was sold out at 7:45 on Friday night. Service was adequate. Biggest complaint was the Caymus (Cabernet) was served at refrigerator temp. The saving grace was the price.

    Our second time there, first time was GREAT, this time so-so. Wife meal was very good, my plate the grouper was not. WAY to much seasoning like the cap fell off the bottle. Fish was slightly undercooked. Waitress was busy, came to the table to tell us our food would be a bit longer because a big order was placed and our food would take some time, a minute later our food came out, wife’s pasta was dry along the edges ( like being under the lamp to long). Will go back was just disappointed this go around. Still a great place, stuff happens
