    Service and food were excellent, but the noise level was terrible and overwhelming. Had difficulty talking to and hearing the person across the table from me. They need to add some soft surfaces (on walls/floors/ceilings) to absorb sound.

    First time to the new location and they hit it out of the park! Our server Maddie was stellar - great recommendations and such a fun personality! The room was pretty lively for a Wednesday and everyone was enjoying themselves. Highlight of my meal was the she-crab soup. My biggest regret was only getting a cup and not the largest bowl possible ;) The Ceasar salad was sooooo good - dressing is perfection. Definitely keeping that one in rotation for future visits. My friend had the red beans & rice w/Andouille sausage and thoroughly enjoyed it. Already planned my birthday lunch with the family this coming Saturday because I know they will love it as much as I did! So happy this gem is in Middletown!!!

    The service was outstanding. Our server was attentive and others helped ensure we were happy by bringing our drinks while she was busy. Food was very good, if a bit expensive. I wish it was just a bit quieter but I think a lot of restaurants would do well to improve their acoustics.

    Our server Deanna B is a gem - she truly made us feel at home and like we were members of her family. This attention only made the meal and experience better.

    Menu definitely has a Louisiana flavor to it, but none of the dishes that we have had were overly spicy. The lobster bisque was delicious and tinged with just the right amount of sherry. I had the gumbo which was delicious, but could have been served a bit warmer. Surprisingly, my wife opted for the Brown this time around which was served really hot to the touch. Our server, Mckenzie, was great!

    First time eating at the restaurant. My sister and I both harder Hot Browns, and they were very good. Our waiter was excellent. I will definitely be eating there again and again.

    Oysters were the only good item we had. Crab bisque was lacking. Etoufee was watery and had little seafood.

    First time here. Not disappointed but not wowed either. Prices online don’t match prices on menu in house. Our waitress was very bubbly and personable but I suspect was responsible for too many tables, possibly from being understaffed. Food was very good. I’d definitely recommend anyone try this place. I will be back…..hopefully when our economy settles back into where it should be, the value aspect here will be more in line.

    It is wonderful to have agreat new restaurant in Middletown area. I had the Bourbob Street Glazed Salmon - fantastic taste and texture -served with grits and asparagus. Glaze was superb. Enjoyed a house salad and a Tomato and Spinach Lavash appetizer. Deanna was our very enthusiastic server - we never needed anything because she was always close and watching. Great diversified mneu that makes it unique enough to go back often.
