Another great meal. I was pleased to see Pork Schnitzel back on the dinner menu, & it was a mighty generous portion (lapped over both opposite edges of the plate!), & the collards were a an excellent pairing with it. As usual, the oysters (Murder Point) & seafood gumbo were outstanding.

Rod our server was excellent and very helpful with menu recommendations. Ceviche as an appetizer was delicious. We had the Scalibut and barracuda. Both were excellent and the presentation was outstanding. A must dining experience while in NOLA.
