Came with 3 friends to celebrate my birthday early on 3/29/25. Service was definitely very slow, but our server was lovely and we used the time to talk. Also, they extended my reservation 30 minutes without complaint when we were running late. The best part was the food. I couldn't find fault with one meal. Everyone's food was delicious. That steak might've been the best I've ever tasted; the salmon dinner, jambalaya meal; fried oysters; wings - all outstanding....
I truly enjoyed the food but the initial service gave me pause. There was no one at the front desk to greet us. A kitchen worked happened to see us and tried to locate someone but that took about 10 mins which I thought was odd. Unfortunately the restaurant smells like smoke due to the cigar lounge next door which could be problematic if you have respiratory issues. The food was good. I had the jambalaya which I would order again.
We stopped by 219 on our drive home from the airport. The food was incredible and really hit the spot! Everything was delicious and the service was incredible. Strongly recommend trying this place out!
