“This place is really a league of its own and deserves more than 5 stars. The food here is fantastic and flavorful. Its hard to find quality Creole and Lousiana food in NYC and this place more than delivers. Ive come here multiple times and every dish is interesting and filling. The prices are a bit high, but I think it is worth it for the quality and quantity that you get.“

I, along with others will be back!!!“
