    Good food, a varied menu and great service. A very different drink the "Voodoo Punch". It was loved buy all that had it. I had the shrimp and grits. Very tasty but it had fried okra on it. A good crunch on a normally soggy meal.My daughter and her husband shard a Cajun sampler and they still took food home. My wife had crab cakes and cajun kale and she was in heaven. All of us agreed that this was a keeper restaurant. It was our first time eating there.

    Food was delicious and server was great, however they have a serious issue with noise. They need to get some acoustic panels to help drown out the sound. You can hear a loud table all the way across the room.
