We went to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The staff all wished her greetings for her day. The drinks and food were all outstanding. A dessert was brought out for her celebration. Service was prompt and well paced. I am certain we will return again in the future.

Inconsistent protein preparation especially the Ribs and also the Pork Belly. The Corned Beef, Shrimp and Ahi Tuna were excellent. Gumbo was very good and Bread Pudding was OUTSTANDING.

service was terrific, cocktails strong and food was tasty (shrimp/chicken with dirty rice, shrimp and grits, BBQ plates, artichoke fritters). oh and the bananas foster. only complaint was that at 7:30, they were out of the grouper and both etouffees. an early dinner crowd - we were almost the last table there at 9:30.

Bluegrass was a pleasant surprise. Great variety on menu and the waitress explained options well. Met the owner Joanie and manager tableside checking on us and learning about each other. Bar service good with Hurricane and ale. Our party of two dined on pulled pork sandwich, Rémoulade Salad topped with lump crab and added a serving of fried crawfish. Delicious! Tried the shot of Gumbo and was not disappointed. Finished with gifted serving of Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding. Going back to try more southern menu choices.
