Ahyana Guerra: Shrimp P'boy hits the spot and the rose champagne isn't too bad either!!
Lisa Rodriguez: Delicious gumbo- I prefer the chicken and sausage gumbo to the seafood- it seemed to have more flavors layered in. The banana pudding was also delicious! Nice guys too!
Rob Fitzhenry: Ordered the small chicken and sausage gumbo...took home and was delicious and still hot 20 minutes later! Highly recommend. Great service, too.

Emily Wilson: The menu is pretty light, so don't come starving. Order a generous amount oysters and some rosé to start. Also get the excellent little gem salad and the hamachi crudo.
Lauren Atkins: Perfect seafood spot: $1 oysters between 5-7pm...and the trout was quite delicious too. Exceeded my usual expectations of trout.
Marc Mayer: Really nice, obscure as hell beer menu. Creative cocktails too. Weird crowd. Felt like I was the only one there not in the postnatal afterglow. Congrats on your new startup, young parents! Vaccinate!

Julia Monti: Great brunch. Delicious fresh guac. A little pricy for the young crowd. Not where you go for a cheap boozy brunch but the food was superb. Recommend getting a crepe!
Oz Lubling: Great place for a a mexican/french themed weekend brunch. It's also very kid friendly and the service is fast and efficient. Get the fish tacos or if you're a meat lover, the JC is great.
