Best meal we have had since being in NOLA! These people cooked our fish to perfection, light, flaky and moist. We had the sheepshead parmesan fish entree which was absolutely delicious and their biscuits will melt in your mouth. We also had halibut with scallops and the lobster dumplings, which were good but not to compare with the previous. The chocolate mouse dessert was great as well and is huge (we shared). We tried earlier in the week to walk in but were unable to be served so reservations are definitely needed. Service was good despite being extremely busy. Try this place out, I don’t think you will be disappointed with your meal.
