C NabJuly 7, 2016The food and atmosphere was excellent. Make sure to come on an empty stomach because the portions are more than enough. Maybe have a designated driver too cuz the drinks were good but strong, lol.
Nickie KurtagicJuly 31, 2016The oysters here are to die for and the drinks are amazing too. If you LOVE new Orleans like I do- you will love this place as much as me and my boyfriend do!!
