    Our party of 6 was quickly seated in the back room next to the kitchen. This area is quieter vs front room so our older party members had no problems with hearing. Jasmine C. provided attentive and friendly service, helping those who could not decide between appetizers & entrees, kept drinks flowing. The menu has something for everyone. Cheers!

    Most of what we experienced on this occasion was nothing new. I love this restaurant, the physical part of it. There were pros and cons to our wait team. One waiter just did not speak loudly enough to make out half of what he was saying because of the general noisiness of the dining room. The other just seemed to be in a full on rush to get the next people seated. They were great otherwise. The food quality honestly was not what I've experienced in the past. I know times are hard, but charging $35-38 for a plate this $22-25 quality/quantity is reaching really. I had veg in my dish that were meant to be cooked through and weren't. I also noticed that more tables have been crowded in since our last visit here. There was a quite thin woman seated at the table next to ours and at least three different times that she got up or sat down, she brushed he backside against my arm trying to maneuver around. Had it been a bit larger person there very likely would have been some awkward looks exchanged at a minimum! Things have changed!

    We ordered raw oysters for appetizers and they were delectable at $2 and some change a piece ! The French 75 was strong and tasty and lasted the duration of the meal ! I thought I’d make it to a second one because it was so good but I was too full from all the great food! For our main course I ordered Crawfish and shrimp Spaghettini and my friend ordered the Schitnzel . Let’s just say we scraped our plates ! For dessert we ordered the banana bread pudding which was super sweet and moist, cooked to perfection . 10 out of 10 all around for the food ! Our waitstaff were also very friendly and attentive . They didn’t make us feel rushed even though we had a late reservation. It was really a great experience!

    Sorry, but not a good meal. Raw oysters at happy hour were good. Tuna tartare not well thought out dish. Large pieces of tuna with little flavor. Duck breast measly portion for $39. Gave up before dessert. Overpriced. Had to ask 3 servers for a coke that took 20 minutes to arrive. Will not return.

    The food was really good especially the shrimp and grits. I also had the bread pudding for dessert which was the perfect texture and not overly sweet. Will definitely come back.

    We loved the food! Had the Tuna Tartare appetizer which was very fresh. Wasabi was bland though. My husband had the Squid Ink Spaghettini shrimp and crawfish. It was very good (sauce was very salty). I had the Mussels with French Fries. It was a very generous portion and I shared some with my husband. Super good. For dessert we had the Creme Brûlée and the Chocolate Mousse. The Crème Brûlée was good, but the chocolate mousse was wonderful with the hazelnuts. Our main wait staff was great. We did have a mishap with a jr. server who had another’s dish which slid off into our wine bucket splashing on table and my husband. The restaurant made up for it with a new bottle of wine and complimentary dessert.

    The setting is lovely and service started out okay...with Devon introducing himself and saying David was also helping....but didn't get too much from David as the night progressed...generally service wasn't great relative to warm. Food was awful! The trout i got i wouldn't expect from the worse restaurant I can imagine. it was overcooked and salty. I would have sent it back but was with friends i just met and didn't want to look tacky. This restaurant and positive reviews are not to be believed.
