We loved our experience at this restaurant. Such a great addition to downtown Aurora and I highly recommend a visit if you live in the Fox Valley area. We will definitely be coming back soon.

Very busy for a Monday night! The Voodoo Tomato appetizer was simply amazing!!! We will be returning just for that! The rest was excellent too - Southern Harvest Salad, Maple Rouge Salmon and NOLA Shrimp & Grits. (Heads up - the salmon is prepared with the glaze on the skin which isn't for everyone.) The Hurri 'Kane' had a unique twist and could be quite dangerous. The beer selection is minimal (nothing on tap) and they were out of several of the options. Definitely plan to return but hope the small menu updates often!

I had high hopes for this place, unfortunately my expectations fell flat. Arrived for our 6:45 reservation and was seated semi quickly. The decor inside is beautiful although the chairs felt cheap and wobbly (especially the bar stools). There was no music playing for the first 20 mins we were there; we got to sit and listen to the neighboring tables conversation. Eventually music came on but it would only play for 25 mins then stop again. The service was EXCRUCIATINGLY slow. We were sitting there so long the host came over to see if she could take away our menu's, when I informed her we were still waiting to order she responded "I would take your order but I don't have any paper" then walked 5 ft over to her podium and stood there, never coming back. Our server eventually came around and took our order. We both ordered the blackened chicken. The meal came out suspiciously fast (less than 5 mins) and was just ok. Our server never came back to check on us or offer another drink from the bar. We sat there with empty glasses and plates for what felt like forever until I flagged the host down to request the check. The host asked if everything was alright, I was obviously disappointed and told her it was "Just Ok" she didn't say a single word, turned on her heel and walked away. When signing the check our server did come over and apologized saying "I'm sorry, In my head I thought I already brought you the check" Maybe I'll give them another chance in a year or two after the staff is properly trained.

A beautiful space, awesome menu options and stellar cocktails. It was romantic and yet would be great for a group. A great addition to the Aurora dining scene.

This is honestly my least favorite restaurant. The food is neither very French or really that creole. Very limited menu. Boudin balls were so salty that they were barely edible. Also listed as vegetarian though they clearly have short rib in them. French onion soup, which should be a staple at a restaurant like this, lacked onions and the classic crouton/gruyere cheese that you would expect. Instead it’s a very strange foam as if they were trying to compete with Michelin star restaurants. It made no sense. Oysters, one of my favorite foods, were by far the worst I’ve ever had in my life and not edible. They were slimy, had a bad smell, and were clearly not fresh. Ordered a dozen but was only able to eat a few before not feeling good and alerting our server. They were only willing to take half off even though these are clearly very poor quality and not fresh. The server did not know where they came from or what type they were. No manager apology or explanation. Service was okay at best (not the most friendly/welcoming but no real complaints other than the food) and the ambience are not bad and the location is nice. But I highly do not recommend this restaurant or expect it to be around for a long time with the menu limitations and quality.
