Amazing food! Amazing experience!! Service and host both awesome! Def recommend
Food was delicious , the staff was super nice and the atmosphere was very warm.
Great vibes and food overall. Pricey but the food is very worth it mostly. We got a mix of bites, but I was sad about the Gumbo, which was burnt/had an acrid taste. Other than the gumbo, we loved the shrimp and grits, mac and cheeses, mimosas and bloody Mary's, and the red beans and rice.
