I am local and have not eaten here in a couple of years but was pleasantly surprised to find the food and service was as good as ever. It is in the Brennan owned family restaurants which are the epitome of New Orleans cuisine.

Darla and Daniel were incredible waiters. Knowledgeable, great interaction. Food was perfect! Fried oysters with tasso gravy reduction was bomb. For those who don't know, tasso is Cajun smoked pork legs with extremely deep smoke. Then duck confit, thigh and drumb. Finished with peppermint ice cream and glacee drizzled with chocolate.
