    For a carnivore, this is the ultimate. All of the dishes we had were perfectly cooked. The double cut pork chops is a dish of legendary proportion and glazed with a mouth watering Stien’s Cane syrup grastrique. We were curious about the rillons which was pieces of pork belly slow simmered in a brown sugar sauce and allowed to caramelize, sort of like a double thick candied bacon. I did not expect the roasted gulf shrimp to come off as well as it did for such a meat centric restaurant. In short, our whole meal was excellent. A little pricy, but excellent still . .

    The best, most deeply developed Cajun food I've ever had, with insanely funky explosiveness in the couvillon and other fish and shrimp dishes. Obviously the meats are out of this world. Our second visit here and it was better than the first.

    I don’t know why we waited so long. I started with the whiskey iced tea and lemon sorbet ( not a whiskey drinker but it was delicious). We started with the marinated crab claws with grilled pickled pineapple and boudin balls with a delicious sauce and pickled squash ( I love pickled everything). We also had the corn bread, so goood. Salty and sweet. We also had the dirty rice and more dirty rice underneath a beautiful double cut pork chop in a sweet cane sugar sauce. Amazing. Chef Issac was kind and even came out of the kitchen for a picture. I can’t wait to go back.
