I love well seasoned food, but the fish was extremely salty and almost inedible. The gumbo was good though, but most importantly, we saw a mouse run through the restaurant and that killed our appetite completely. We told the front host, he didn’t seem to care, also the server spilled a drink on me. Bad experience overall. How was this place on the “infatuation list?”

Overall we enjoyed it. Waitstaff was lovely and food was decent. Not the best I've ever had in NOLA, but definitely not the worst. The gumbo was good, but could have had a little more spice. The oyster appetizer was more like a dip, very different, but tasty. The snappper was delicious and prepared well, but more "meaty" than we likely needed after a long drive. It also could have benefited from having slightly more sauce. The green beans were flavorful, if a little overcooked. Drinks were fantastic. The restaurant's take on the French 75 and the Dark & Stormy were lovely.

Food was outstanding. Mike our waiter was excellent, knowledgeable, very friendly and welcoming. The place was noisy because a large group was having dinner. I will be back because of the food and the staff.

Our server, Sidney, was outstanding. The food was excellent and the owners, AJ and Anna stopped by to say hello. We always go here when we are in New Orleans.

On our anniversary, which was noted in our reservation, the staff failed to acknowledge it. My wife commenced with the Caramelized Sea Scallops, which was delectable. I opted for the Lump Crab Bisque, which was satisfactory. For my entree, I ordered the Snapper Ponchartrain, which was lacking in flavor and excessively doused with hollandaise. For dessert, my wife enjoyed the Crème Brûlée, which was pleasant. Overall, the atmosphere was pleasant, but the quality of the food was disappointing.

Food was just so-so. I was told they were out of the Crab Napoleon but then I saw it being served later to another table. My husband’s cat fish was dry and not tasty. There was no kids menu - which I didn’t realize and we had our 9 year old grandson with us. It was so noisy it was hard to hear our waitress when ordering or she asked us questions.
