Eater: Seafood & sauces in a dark and tiny dining room above a dive bar on Frenchmen. Doesn’t take reservations & is cash only. Service sometimes sucks. But this place is still awesome. [Eater 38 Member]
Patrick: Worst service I've ever encountered. Waited two hours only to be turned away? Amateur move by an amateur owner - way to treat your clients. These guys are chumps.
Mark Baker: This place sucks. They'll leave you on a waiting list, saying the wait is an hour, and 2 hours later tell you they won't seat you. The Manager acted like a rookie, and treated customers like crap.

Paul Fisher: It was amazing, the grouper was incredible and the wine list is impeccable.
Darren Hearsch: Phenomenal. Sat at the bar and had the gnocchi, beet salad and oysters 3ways. Everything was top notch.
Jen (Blathering) L: There were 2 tasting menu options this evening & 1 was vegetarian (but not vegan). Unbelievable! All items from tasting menus were available ala carte too.

Adam Martinez: Happy hour all night on Wednesdays = awesome. Chu toro was delicious and the strawberry satsuma roll was fantastic.
Tina Hua: All day happy hour on Wednesday!
sharon brown: Wednesday happy hour is all night. Fish taco handroll and steamed bun with short ribs were two of the happy hour specials, both dirt cheap and DELICIOUS. .
Sarah Duplessis: Lump crab, pimento grits, seafood platter, and coffees
Tung Ly: watch the boats come in to dock
Michelle Reid: The BBQ shrimp appetizer is to die for! Try the shrimp enbrochette too. Bacon wrapped shrimp was the best creation. The crawfish étouffée is always a great choice. The super fruit sangria is great too

Kendra Roberts: Request Ike--he is waiter extradinaire and has guest spots on Treme. Come hungry, order the BBQ Oysters, the Red Fish and the Double Chocolate Bread Pudding!
Food Network: Trying to figure out which Louisiana-made hot sauce to shake into your gumbo? Crystal sauce adds rounded, smoky pepper notes, while Tabasco delivers a tangy kick. Via CityEats.com Read more.
Mary Kronkowski: If I had to choose one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be RFG's BBQ Oysters!
