Conveniently located between Montrose and River Oaks. The restaurant is a neighborhood spot where everyone feels at home.

    Great classic Cajun dinner spot for the mature crowd. We had a round of delicious oysters with our cocktails and finished with two flavorful (not spicy) dinners, complete with Gumbo and Blackened Catfish. We’ll be back

    We were seated promptly and greeted by the waitstaff. The restaurant was not particularly crowded for a Saturday, which was fine. Dining area was very nicely appointed, as expected. Drinks were very nice For appetizers, we had a crab dish and gumbo. While it is a very shellfish forward menu, one person in our party has a shellfish allergy and was accommodated very easily. for entrees, we had red snapper, sea bass, and 2 crab au gratin dishes. It was all very well prepared Fnd very tasty. That being said, the sea bass and snapper were the best dishes. For dessert, we shared the key lime pie and creme brulee. The key lime caould have been a bit more limey(more tart) and the creme brulee was ok. Overall a very nice experience.
