It was my mother’s 80th and Thanksgiving. The food and service was phenomenal. The staff was so friendly and attentive. I had the tasting menu with the scallop, filet, and bread pudding as well as a bowl of gumbo. I almost licked every plate. Worth every penny and would go back again.

Leo was an amazing server. Friendly and personable. Made excellent recommendations for dinner. If you eat there, ask for Leo!!!! Food was fantastic. Chef's Special that night was gumbo with blackened catfish and jumbo shrimp over mashed potatoes. Delicious. We also had the braised short-ribs. Fork tender, fall off the bone perfection. Served with roasted honey carrots that melt in your mouth.
