My chapter had lunch here and to say it was disappointing is an understatement. The food was a bit salty (my sister said the same) and the fries were cold. When I order seafood gumbo, I expect it to have SOME seafood. A small piece of a crab leg cluster and one small shrimp does not make it seafood gumbo. The service was great, but it doesn’t make up for crappy, expensive food. Won’t return.
Unfortunately, the food didn’t redeem the experience. Nearly everything we tried was overly salty to the point of being inedible. It felt like the chef mistook a salt shaker for a seasoning blend. The dishes lacked balance, freshness, and any sign of thoughtful preparation.
The cocktails were no better syrupy sweet, poorly mixed, and definitely not worth the hype.
If you're even remotely health-conscious, do yourself a favor and take a hard pass on this place....read full review
My expectation was to have the written menu or s good wifi signal. I could not see the menu. All foods are spicy or fride. Sorry but I can not give you more
