We had reservations on a Saturday night, but could have walked right in. The menu looked so good! We ordered a Cajun Caesar, jambalaya, shrimp etoufee and a crab cake sandwich. The salad was excellent. The jambalaya was flavorful - a bit more spicy than I prefer. The etoufee was unique, with a very light roux and quite a bit of corn that overpowered the flavor. The crab cake sandwich was tasty. Service was slow, she forgot one of our drinks, and it took forever to get the check.

Just OK. Two of us ordered jambalaya, and each one had some shrimp shell bits. Another had gumbo and also thought it was just OK. Would have liked my sazerac to have been colder.

Great night out for a group of gals getting together after a long absence. Our waiter was perfect - attentive enough to anticipate our needs, but not so much to interrupt our catching up. We mostly had glasses of wine, although our one cocktail drinker loved her French 75. We shared the Brussels sprout appetizer which was generously sized. Two opted for the shrimp and grits, which was perfectly sized. The jambalaya and shrimp etouffe were oversized and nicely packed up for the journey home. Everyone loved the food. We'll be back!

We ordered the fried catfish and red beans and rice, then pecan pie for dessert. Everything was delicious. Server was friendly and helpful. Great location for ballet as it's right next door to the theater. We would go back!
