    This was an awesome meal….from drinks to dessert! Appetizers of crab cakes and coconut shrimp were very tasty! Wedge salads were very large and very good! Our entrees of Redfish and flounder were tasty! Our desserts of Creme Brûlée’s and Bread pudding were delicious! Friendly staff and beautiful surroundings added to the meal! We will return!

    Terrific flaors of NOLA. Classic and filled beignets are perfection. Brought some extra home today. NOLA grits are the only way to have them. Every entree is an experience. I had the green eggs and ham benedict today. Excellent waitstaff kept my coffee topped off and attention to detail. RSVP just in case. The place filled up fast after 9am.

    My friend and I enjoyed the food, no complaints (breakfast & dinner)! They are a little short-staffed, so be patient. They were very hospitable so I didn't mind the wait.
