The staff is very kind, attentive, warm, and upbeat, making sure guests have a wonderful dining experience. Customers enjoy the fresh seafood, including the spicy Cajun-style boiled shrimp, fried catfish, and popcorn shrimp. The Boudin Balls and Chargrilled Gulf Oysters are also delicious. Popular drinks include the Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita, and the Salted Caramel Cheesecake is a favorite dessert, while the Bignets are absolutely delicious. The outdoor stage and relaxed coastal decor make the evening feel like a mini getaway. The restaurant is conveniently located within walking distance from nearby hotels.
