Cecile Maiko: Tried the quail, pecan crusted drum fish, speckled trout, the infamous turtle soup, & bread soufflé. Was impressed with the drum & bread pudding soufflé. Everything else was edible.
Mike Winston: This formal dining experience is everything it's cracked up to be. Go wild & get Turtle Soup, Hot Buttered Rum, Pecan Crusted Gulf Fish, Praline Lacquered Texas Quail, & Creole Bread Pudding Soufflé. Read more.
Ricel Almadovar: Order Duck Confit Creole, Chicory Coffee Lacquered Quail, and Creole Bread Pudding Souffle! Don't forget the 25cents martinis & make sure you have reservations! Wonderful culinary surprise!

JoHanna Hill: Amazing service. The buttermilk quail was divine. The chilled jumbo shrimp was not something I normally would order, but omg it was good. This place is good enough to distract you from an apocalypse.
Jonathon Taylor: The raw bar is amazing. Get the smoked redfish and the tuna tartare especially. But also don’t forget about the quail. Because the quail was to die for
Kelsey Anderson: Definitely try a cocktail. Take your time and enjoy the atmosphere. Save room for the bourbon bread pudding dessert.

David Schwartz: Great menu, great service and an all-around great find. They revitalized this former legendary New Orleans Favorite. You must try the Gulf Fish Almandine and get some Raw Oysters while you are at it.
Eater: Chef Drew Lockett cooks impressive rustic bistro fare, and a wealth of raw bar options that dazzle. Also, they're open until midnight, Wednesday-Saturday.
Abigail Gullo: Steve is an amazing bartender. I have yet to even see the dining room, but both my experiences at the bar have been divine. My rabbit was delicious as was the savory sage pain perdu.
