For over 15 years, my husband and I have celebrated special moments with their jambalaya. This year, our order was accidentally lost and had to be made fresh—but we didn’t mind. Andy, the manager, handled it with such genuine care, and Patrick treated us to drinks while we waited. What could have been a hassle turned into another warm memory. Thank you!!

We went on a Friday evening. We were seated at a table by a window NOT in the bar area. The noise was so loud that we had to lean over the table and talk very loud in order to hear each other. There was no music playing either. We were also by a door which was ajar and would not shut. A cold draft was while we were eating and it was very unpleasant. The for was fine and the server was pleasant. The rest of the experience was poor and we will not go back there for a long time,...

We came in to eat and had an amazing experience! Kat provided outstanding service from start to finish—she was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome. The grilled wings were absolutely incredible, packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Between the great food and Kat’s excellent service, this visit really stood out. We loved everything about our experience and will definitely be back!
