    Our group of 5 had a great time for dinner! Our waiter, Ike, was the best! He was so pleasant and attentive, and he was very thorough on explaining the menu and helping us to understand all of the great choices! We enjoyed the BBQ oysters and alligator boudin balls appetizers. For dinner the shrimp and short rib grits were excellent and a fun twist. The short ribs were so tender! Others in our party also enjoyed their crabcake and red fish and crabmeat signature dish. Pricing was reasonable, portion sizes appropriate. Location was outstanding right in the French Quarter. Atmosphere had a fun decor and noise level was comfortable for our group to converse. We felt welcomed and had a great time. Would def come back.

    What a great experience, this place never disappoints! After being professionally greeted, we had a great bar high top table. Our waiter was kind, patient and offered wonderful service and suggestions. After dining here, we opted for something new, the Delmonico steak. Wow, Cajun style. Probably the best steak I have ever had. Cannot miss in the appetizers and sides, all are show stoppers. Cannot wait to return.

    There were several big tables on Thursday night including ours. Service was great and no big wait time. Superior continues to be one of the best restaurants in town. I swapped the Redfish for blackened Drum. Fantastic.

    My fiancé and I had an amazing time…service was impeccable. Our server Michelle was attentive and extremely knowledgeable and amicable. The wait staff were equally attentive. Now the food was divine, starting with the delectable homemade biscuits, that came every 10 minutes…we stopped after two so we could have room for our meal! We shared an order of fried oysters as a starter…OMG! Then we had the beet and pear salads…fantastic. My fiancé chose the scalibut and I had the red snapper…both succulent dishes. And an added bonus is that if you park at a particular lot the restaurant suggests and take a picture of your license plate that you share on arrival, the restaurant pays a 3-hour time period…wow, never heard of. In summary we will definitely return and highly recommend this New Orleans institution! Please make your reservations immediately!!
