    10/10 experience, can’t wait to go back! My girlfriends and I met for a celebratory dinner and we all had a wonderful time. The food was INCREDIBLE, coursed out perfectly, cooked perfectly and with impeccable flavor profiles on every dish. The service was awesome as well! No water glass unfilled, silverware replaced and laid by course, and consistent check ins without being overbearing. We were there to celebrate the publishing of my first book and they brought out a special dessert AND a card signed (specifically about my book…not pre-signed!) by all the staff. That touch right there pushed the evening over from a wonderful night to a perfect one. Thank you all again!!

    Outstanding view, intimate ambiance, and stellar service. Both the hostess and our server, Slavica, were wonderfully attentive. Slavica was incredibly gracious about substituting sides for my wife's preference, and her recommendations were flawless. To top it off, she surprised us with an anniversary treat. The crawfish chowder is phenomenal and a must-order. Note for travelers: Ubers can drop off at the hotel front door but cannot pick up there; use the designated rideshare zone outside baggage claim instead.

    We always enjoy going there with our little one. I had the short ribs for the first time with the alligot potatoes and it was truly delicious. The service was excellent. There was just a loud group right next to us swearing all the time which wasn’t the greatest. Once they left we were able to enjoy ourselves again
