I’m gluten sensitive, and the server couldn’t have been more knowledgeable or more helpful. Because a lot of New Orleans cuisine tends to lean toward flour, it’s hard to go to restaurants sometimes and get the New Orleans flavor if you’re sensitive to gluten. That was not the case here. With the server’s guidance, The blackened Brussel sprouts, honeyed shrimp appetizer, and fish entrée were excellent. Would definitely go there again and often. Highly recommend.
