Delicious Cousine, fine dining, exquisite! . Thank you, Jenny, in making our first dining excursion in Durham such a delight. Louisiana dishes at its best here In Durham - yes the Fried Catfish, red beans & rice might be a tad better with Andouille Sausage rather than ham but won’t quibble! Yum shrimp and grits. Beignets and key lime pie - how better to end a meal. Good selection of beer and masterful prepared SAZERAC! Sound level inside - tad loud, only negative. Thank...read full review
Everything! Atmosphere, food, drinks, service were all fantastic. It’s hard to believe that is the same space we spent so much time in from 2005 until Tyler’s closed - it looks beautiful! The fountain outside also gives it that perfect New Orleans feel. We were there to celebrate the 27th anniversary of meeting at Pat O’Brien’s , and our server comped us a dessert! Not necessary but much appreciated. The cocktails were perfect, the foods delicious - can’t recommend enough!
Everything about this gem was amazing
