New Orleans Shrimp is the best, everything they make really hits the spot honestly. Ask for Michelle behind the bar or Calum at a table they’re great!

I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what would cause this place to get less than 5 stars, and I just can't think of a single thing. My husband and I were walk-ins (I would suggest making a reservation) but the host sat us at side bar, but kept a look out for better spot. He did GREAT! We ended up eating at the main bar. The food was INCREDIBLE. And the bartender gave amazing recommendations for wine/cocktails. The whole crew was a real team, and the owner/chef seems to really be mentoring his cooks. Everything from start to finish was perfect!! A MAJOR gem in Rockwall.

My wife and I just tried this spot, and we can't think of a single negative thing to say. Everything was delicious (especially the Porchetta sandwich), the staff was knowledgeable, attentive and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place! (P.S. Make a reservation ahead of time if you can, but even if you don't, we had a great time just sitting at the bar. )

Absolutely delicious food, a great chill atmosphere, and a wide selection of drinks! One of my favorite lunch or dinner spots in downtown Rockwall.

Order took too long. We have a reservation for 7:30 and didn't leave until almost 10pm. Most of that time was waiting for our meal. It look 20 minutes just to get drinks and then an additional 45 minutes to get our main dish. When our food got to our table it was cold. It was a windy day out and they opened the door trying to get smoke out but turned the whole place into an ice box

Great food and the service was even better! They have a good selection of wines to choose from. The atmosphere is very comfortable. We had a nice date night on Valentine's Day.

We sat outside on the patio with our dog. Our experience was superb. Both of us enjoyed the two different salads. They were so fresh and delicious. I loved having all the options with vegetables. Enjoyed the duck breast on top of puréed butternut squash and kale. Lots of different options for anyone with different tastes and diet restrictions. The s'mores at the end were a fun option.

One of my absolute favorite spots in rockwall. I miss their old sommelier, he kept the wine list interesting and was always good for ordering wine for their patrons. They recently obtained their liquor license so the drink list has grown. Their food menu is delicious. I've not had any entrees we always do charcuterie. The cheeses that are offered are varied and flavorful as are the olives, oils and meats. Highly recommend.

Delicious! Michelle makes me the BEST Cadillac margaritas. We also had the duck toast which was amazing and the etouffée was very authentic. We are from east Texas and this is the most authentic Cajun food we have found here! Don't miss out on the barbecue shrimp!
