Crab dishes are excellent, the best in town by far. Well established, consistent. A long- time Lafayette favorite. Crabmeat Imperial is superb, as are all the other seafood. Unpretentious and comfortable atmosphere. Service is friendly feels almost like family.

Started with fabulous cocktails- lemon drop and tequila martini. Ordered the stuffed flounder and red fish, absolutely delicious. The warm yeast rolls are to die for. Finished with bread pudding and was the best ever- has a hint of cinnamon. Terrific service and were seated near the window for view of the water. Definitely a wonderful restaurant and we will return. Lovely find.
