We went for Happy Hour before a concert at Roseland Theater. Staff and service were fantastic. We asked for a table in the “main area” and were seated away from the bar and loudest sounds, perfect for a date night. Food was good and great happy hour prices. We would go again!

Can’t express what a wonderful little gem this restaurant is! Kudos for the chef and the staff explaining in detail what the dish entailed. Absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to return when we’re back in town.

Great time celebrating my grand daughters birthday. Our meals were delicious and the birthday dessert free of charge was such a lovely gesture

Food and service were really good. We love New Orleans type food and shrimp creole dish Hush puppies. Beignets. Gin fizz didn’t disappoint.
