    We sat at the bar. Our bartender James was amazing. We had the mini seafood fondu off of the Happy Hour menu which was incredible and perfect size for two people. They don't offer Sauvy B on the happy hour menu so we got a bottle for $38 which was fabulous. We decided to try something new we've never tried and we got the Mahi Mahi Boudreaux. This was delicious and enough food for the two of us to split it. It's our go-to date spot and will continue to be so! Can't recommend enough!

    Great service. We took our time and weren’t rush at all. The ribeye steak was great but I had one of the best pork chops I can remember here. Great service and atmosphere was calm and low light around the restaurant. Will definitely go back next time we are in the area
