When you drive into the parking lot you immediately see a beautiful building that is shaded by a very large and beautiful oak tree. The inside of the restaurant is even more impressive. The service was quick and efficient with great recommendations. The food was over the top with fettuccine pasta with crawfish, andouille sausage and shrimp. Jambalaya was loaded with more meat than rice! Appetizers of chargrilled oysters with pepper jack sauce and mozzarella bites!!! Everything was outstanding and the portions are HUGE! We will definitely go back to try the Po’Boys and homemade onion rings. The only negative is that they were out of a couple of wines and catfish. Definitely make reservations as there was a line to get in the entire time we were there.
