“The staff was very quick to serve us and regularly checked in. The drinks were ice cold and refreshing. Food was obviously fresh and delicious. You can even look through the giant window while they prepare your food. Atmosphere was fun and had great and had a couple other groups. Recommend if you love fresh oysters and great seafood.“

“We don’t post reviews very often, but really felt obliged to for here. The food is outstanding!!!! Service is wonderful. It was actually pretty quiet as its location is tucked out the way, but it deserves to have a queue around the corner!!!!! Top quality ingredients and great value for the quality. Very accommodating of our stroller and dog.“

“Drove over from the JW Marriott to watch the Saints game.
Street parking. Free sat & sun.

Nice group of people watching the game.

Very friendly.
The bartender even made me iced tea.

I brought a few things from New Orleans to share.
Krewe of Tucks.

This is a good finds. I will be back.“
