    This was our first visit and we came to celebrate my Mother's 81st birthday. The staff were so gracious and the food was really good. Thank you to all the staff at The Jockey who worked on Sunday and made my Mother's birthday extra special.

    We had requested a quiet table with reservation as older group that wanted to be able to talk & hear each other. Most of the restaurant is extremely loud. But they were accommodating in relocating us when request to a nice quiet private dining area behind bar. Services overall was very good.

    The food was beautiful looking but mediocre for the price. Little things were overlooked like putting raw jalapenos on a sandwich instead of pickled (a more muted version). One of our non alcoholic drinks tasted like cough syrup, the honey one was AMAZING. While the jambalaya was tasty, it was more of a yellow rice stew than a "n'orleans tomato sauce". The oysters were not fully cleaned so there were shell bits in 2 of the 4 we ordered. It's a huge beautiful space but somehow we felt that we were constantly being crowded by servers waiting on other tables. I think one of the wait staff was in training but at 4pm on a Sunday, when the place is empty, spread tables out a little more seating wise to make guests feel less crowded.

    The food was excellent (lots of choices- hard to decide) and because it was July 5, it wasn’t too crowded. Definitely going back
