    If you like fresh oysters, this is the PLACE!!!! Before I was seated, their shucker gave me and my wife one each just to taste as we waited to be seated. It was SO GOOD!!! Absolutely the BEST oysters we had in NoLa. Watched their shucker cleaning the freshest catch in town, with multiple varieties, then sat down and ate all I could handle. We had appetizers and 2 main courses that were almost as good as the oysters. That is saying a lot considering how darn good those babies were. Atmosphere was perfect. We hoped on the trolly just outside and ran through the Garden district with a satisfied appetite . Their employees gave great local recommendations as well! Will definitely be back on our next trip to this area! True southern hospitality experienced at this local pearl!
