There are many great steak restaurants in NOLA. This is among the best. As this was our second visit, we were super excited to try the seafood offerings rather than the delicious prime rib. Savannah, our server was very professional and helpful. We opted for the redfish on the Half Shell and Crab Cakes. These might be among the best dishes on the menu! Yes the beef is prime, and delicious, but patrons might want to focus on the super fresh seafood. Entire staff is super friendly, helpful and courteous.

Thank you, Paisley, Riley, and, especially, Chef, for a terrific dining experience. We shared three fabulous small plates, and each was memorable! Oysters over angel hair ... barbecued pork belly ... gumbo ... each was presented beautifully and tasted even better. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!
