   Our server was exceptional and she made some wonderful suggestions for food and drink. Everything was so good. I can’t wait to go back and try some other items on the menu.

   Hidden gem with delicious drinks specials and amazing. Food. Generously portioned meals that could easily be shared. Raw fish beignets were a must try appetizer and the Jambalaya was spicy enough to make your tongue sing, it still taste the food. Ambiance reminded me of a speakeasy or older establishment with subtle lighting that made this an interesting and intimate spot. The sixes made here for your meals are simplest Cajun at its best!

   Made an early reservation for Mother’s Day. I’ve been here several times before. This time they sat me downstairs. We received our meals after 6pm despite being seated at 4:15. I was with my mom and 6 year old who have both come with me on other occasions. We were tucked in the back by ourselves for most of the meal. Right before our main meal arrived they sat two more tables in the area with small children. I did not appreciate being segregated that way and one of the tables was quite loud. I only ate a few bites of my food and quickly finished my wine so I could leave. I recognize holidays can be tricky, but I expected better from this establishment.

   We had a great time. It was mothers day so we took my mother in law there since at one time they used to live in New Orleans. She said the gumbo tasted like "real" gumbo.

    Fed a client and chose the 18 platter of raw oysters to begin and Jambalaya as the entree. He loved it. I chose the fried seafood platter it was very fresh and perfect. Great meal!

    The waitress/bar tender was very rude and not attentive. We had to proactively ask for our drinks to be replenished and why our food was taking so long. Each time we asked the waitress for something she seemed annoyed. I used to love this place but the service experience this time was horrible and makes me not want to go back.

    The hostess was horrible. They did not let all of our party in due to a strict dress code but allowed others to join in flip flops. Giving very much basis against blacks. Corey was fabulous he handled our table with love. Will not return back thou. Food was not good, the new cook didn’t get our meals right.

    I wanted so badly to like this place. No parking, let me repeat NO PARKING. I had to park 3 blocks away when there is a parking garage right across the street, but it is private parking. The food wasn’t the worst but it didn’t give what I was expecting. Service was Great and Ambience was Great! It was my Mom’s Birthday dinner so it was kinda a disappointment. I really wanted to like this place.

    Everything at this restaurant was simply wonderful, along with our Waiting staff. The food was excellently prepared and served hot from beginning to end. Outside of not really having a place to park, nor offering valet (blamed it on Covid) Everything else about our night out was great!

    The manager gives people way too many problems. I seen her turn someone down who didn’t have a reservation but like someone go without a reservation. You can’t pick and choose. Previous management had this place packed but this new lady is going send you all bankrupt. And the ripped jeans thing?? Some people had ripped jeans on that was sitting down and she turned away some others. Now let’s get to food and beverages: Food was great but I see that now they scaling back on certain items and also giving less amount of food. My alcoholic beverage tasted just like juice. Didn’t get a martini glass I received a cognac glass instead.

    Slow service, but nice waiter. Dressy dress code, but some employees wore skin tight see through spandex and were chit chatting right by our table, very unprofessional. The food was not great for the high price. I ordered the fried oysters. They were mostly breading,and didn’t seem fresh, which I quietly sent back. I was charged for them even though I said they did not seem fresh. I won’t be going back.

    Service and food were both great. Our server even presented a birthday brownie with ice cream! We LOVE this place and always eat here before any event we are going to in Norfolk. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because my husband ordered an IPA that was from a keg. It was not a sour but was so sour that it tasted like it was be bad. He hardly ever returns anything in a restaurant even if not to his liking but this was truly awful. It was replaced, or so we thought as it was on the bill along with the the requested changeout. We pointed it out to our server who spoke with the bartender and she refused to remove the bad beer from the bill. My easy going husband was so incensed that he vows to never return. He'll stand firm. Makes me sad. Over $9.50. Bad move FSC&BEOB.

    This was my first time here. The hostess was very rude and hung up on me when I called and was asking where to park. There is NO PARKING AVAILABLE AT THE RESTAURANT !! And according to the waitress parking no longer gets validated due to Covid....really. I had to pay to park in a garage. The waitress was super forgetful and we had to ask another server for water and pepper. The food was barely ok and horrible service. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING!!

    Amazing experience ❤️❤️ I loved the food, and the service was excellent. We shared the alligator bites and frog legs as an appetizer. This was my first time having frog legs and it was delicious 🤤 and I will definitely be back to have some more fried catfish (perfectly fried and seasoned) and grits!! My compliments are to the chef ❤️❤️

    We had an amazing meal here. Our waiter (Carl, I think) was amazingly attentive and allowed us to have a leisurely dinner event though our reservation was at 10pm. We picked this restaurant as we were a party of 6, needed a late reservation, and wanted seafood. Everything we had was amazing (and we have family in New Orleans). I was a little anxious as the reviews were all over the place, but our dining experience was wonderful and we would eat here again. The only drawback was the parking (and that had nothing to do w the restaurant). We aren’t familiar w the area and the parking garages were challenging at 10pm on a Friday.

    Atmosphere was super. Service was great, and the food was to die for. We celebrated my daughter's birthday, so we shared assorted oysters for appetizers, and then the four of us ordered different entrees, which we all shared. We finished with beignets for dessert. Perfect ending to a perfect evening.

    I made a reservation an hour before online. The recipient called me to advise me of the dress code. So I was thinking this place was upscale. Not at all. The bartender was dressed with jeans on and we were seated in the basement. I was here on business and will not dine her again
