Service was good and attentive, but besides that quality was average at best.
Two key points:

1) The food was under salted, definitely lacking flavor.
2) They need to let the food rest before serving to the customers. I've never tasted something so scalding hot that I've had a burn in my mouth for the last week.

Hostess was so nice and went out of her way to accommodate us coming in late with two small kiddos! Wait staff was great. We started with Red Fish Dip, then had fried oyster Po Boy sandwiches which came with lots of yummy fries, some else ordered Blue Crab Rice, and we also shared Mac n Cheese. Everything was so fresh and tasty and we all left stuffed!! We're from out of town but will definitely be back next time we're here!

Every single thing we ate was absolutely superb. Chef Lucas McKinney hails from Mississippi and is food is divine. From the time we entered until the time we left the service was impeccable. Our server, Jordan provided us with top tier service by expertly explaining each dish and providing a first class experience.
