This was our first time eating here and it was fantastic! The atmosphere was very friendly. Our waitress,Kara S, always checked in on us to make sure we were satisfied and gave us recommendations on what to get. Food, drinks, and just everything was amazing! 10/10 would recommend to everyone!

The roasted beet salad was exquisite, light and yummy. Pork chop was lean and delicious with a great Asian/Creole inspired sauce. Flounder was flaky and delicious. The cornbread had a delicious sweetness and it was a bit crunchy. The Louisiana crawfish etoufee was a true disappointment as it had battered shrimp and little crawfish all in a noodle sauce instead of rice! This is why the 4 stars. The bread pudding did not disappoint. The prices are higher than some of the competition. My husband (etoufee) will not return! I will give it another try for lunch because my dish was superb as was my son’s flounder.

Three 40 year friends, plus the husband of one, celebrated our February birthdays at Ouisie's by choice as each of us has previously dined there. We were not disappointed from the arrival to our exit, to include parking service, greeting by the front clerk and our table server. The food was delicious as expected and served with a smile. The three birthday ladies were treated with a dessert. It was another memorable occasion and I look forward to future visits, soon! A+ service from start to finish! It's a winner!
