The decor features warm hunter green walls with gold details, exposed red brick, and elegant chandeliers, creating a setting that transports guests to the French Quarter. Parking is free on weekends unless there is an event, and visitors are advised to inform the parking attendant that they will be dining at the restaurant. The restaurant is accessible for wheelchair users, though space can be tight when full.
The menu is known for high-quality food, including dishes like blackened scallops, shrimp and grits, gnocchi, and key lime pie. Many customers praise the catfish with red beans and rice, shrimp and crayfish croquettes, and the gumbo. The Dragos Oysters are a favorite, especially the broiled Dragos style, which many keep returning for. The restaurant offers a variety of desserts, with banana pudding and beignets highly recommended. The key lime pie is considered one of the best in the triangle.
The atmosphere varies from lively during busy times to calm for special occasions like anniversaries. Outdoor seating is available on the patio when weather permits.
