    Overall it was good. But we ordered the creole trio as an appetizer. It was $24. The shrimp were still frozen the fish dip and the crab dip were watery and tasteless. The red fish was great at $40. The jambalaya was mushy. The waiter was nice but he did make us wait for the bill for quite a long time. Atmosphere was nice. Bathrooms were weird location and very dark. I’m not sure if I’d recommend it to anyone. Sorry. I hate leaving a bad review.

    Everyone was great, especially Wendy and Geraldo. I was trying to determine what entree to get, and Wendy suggested the Crab Cake App (can't go wrong with the flavor and texture) and the Rich Boy. Wow, perfect suggestion as both were very tasty and just the right amount of food. The Rich Boy was not what I was expecting by the description, but it was amazing. Just think of a Po-Boy with filet medallions. Yep, makes perfect sense! Duh!

    I absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant. The food,service, and employees were all delightful to say the least. My only critique(s) would be to specify on the Gator bites that they include pork. I was looking forward to nugget bites and what I got felt like pork sausage featuring gator which was disappointing. Other than that great experience. I will be coming back the next time I visit N.O.

    We had a very nice dinner last night. The Jambalaya was probably our favorite that we had on our trip. Also, the service was outstanding. Our server, Justin did a great job. A few large parties came in while we were dining and he made sure that we were still taken care of even though he was busy. I would definitely eat here again.

The food was delicious, authentic, and the price was right on. The atmosphere was open and ambient with a great soundtrack. We can't wait to go back!

    Food was great! We got sat immediately when we arrived for our lunch reservation and were quickly brought cold water, which we were very thankful for given how hot it was outside. We got the gator bites as an appetizer and they were amazing. I got the shrimp creole for my entree and my husband got the Taste of New Orleans. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely return on future trips!

    The good… we arrived 20 min early and were seated promptly. The not so good . I was excited for an authentic New Orleans meal. When we arrived I said I think I’ll do the red beans and rice the waiter said “eh” and shook his head no. Then I said how about the seafood boil? He said no it always gets sent back for not being seasoned well. He recommended the fish. When it came out the dish was the wrong one. I didn’t notice but the waiter did and took it back. They did bring the right one in about 10 min. It was just ok . How authentic is it if the staff tells you there is only one decent dish? I was so disappointed it was the only night we made reservations and planned a dinner date.

    The first thing that happened is that even though we booked through Open Table and received numerous reminders, the restaurant claimed they had no reservation for us. The bar is being renovated but the outdoor bar was open. We went specifically for happy hour and both our server and the bartender had no idea there was a happy hour. The GM eventually produced a happy hour menu and they honored it. While the menu offers alligator bites, they are actually sausage. The GM got testy with us when we asked about it, claiming they are 70% alligator, 30% pork - it clearly is the other way around, but the menu should at least mention this. Even the table next to us was commenting that they ordered alligator but got sausage, they were told the same thing as us. By her short quick answer, we all assume this is a frequent question. We went for the seafood tower that is shown in photos and their online menu - but they don’t have it anymore. The door to the bar was standing wide open so I just poked my head in to see the renovations. The hostess literally yelled at me. I assured her I wasn’t going in, just taking a look. Her comment was “You shouldn’t even be looking!” If that’s the case, they should not have the door wide open during dinner hours on a Friday night. We had come here as this place was highly recommended but the only 5-stars I can give is to Nina, the bar manager, who was definitely going the extra mile to make up for all the shortcomings at the restaurant right now and Kevin, our server who was doing the same.

    Red beans and rice were very good but my mother had to send back her jambalaya due to it being cold and having a vinegary aftertaste. Our server was very accommodating but I probably would not return.
