The menu features delicious dishes such as mussels, short rib special, truffle steak, gumbo, crab cakes, and beignets. The food consistently receives praise, with favorites like jambalaya, gumbo, and mac and cheese bites, all described as amazing and fresh.

The service is also highly praised, with staff members, including Alyssa, noted for being efficient and excellent. The drink menu is impressive, with standout cocktails such as the Garden District and expertly made drinks, especially during themed nights like Miles' night. The overall experience, from food to service, is often described as outstanding and memorable.
