Everything was fantastic. I hadn’t been here in 11 or 12 years but it was just as wonderful an experience as it was back then. Endless bread, attentive waiters, great selection of drinks, what more could one ask for?

We tried the two new preparations for fish and it was the most delicious fish I’ve ever tasted. And the new jambalaya rice was unbelievable. Our waiter JP did a fantastic job of tour guiding the new items and if we could have, we would have sat there all afternoon so good!

James took great care of us! He was aware of my gluten allergy. I had the chicken and waffle. The hubby had the biscuit and gravy. We enjoyed ourselves. We brought guests from Detroit and they loved it as well.
