Reservations were made in celebration of my birthday in which the restaurant knew, but there was no celebration/ acknowledgement from the staff 👀. Anyway, I was craving the boil bag with garlic butter sauce, it was ok, (not enough garlic & the sauce was thickened 🤔), also had fried calamari, rice & my date had sliders, enjoyed with Modelo, and i indulged in 3 Bayou drinks and a couple of shots. The atmosphere was cool and not to pricy. I'll definitely return...

The vibe is lively and fun, and the staff made the whole experience even better with their friendly and attentive service. Whether you’re going with friends or on a casual date night, it’s...
