    Jistene was our server - she was EXCEPTIONAL!! From start to finish - the young man who seated us was very friendly, polite and professional. We had a couple of servers assisting Jistene and they were very polite and friendly as well. The food was very good. We are Landry Club members and have been coming to this Rusty Pelican for several years. The valet attendants were very nice and polite too. All around an exceptional experience🤩🦃

    We really enjoy Henry’s. Great service. Excellent music. But not too loud. We are local and try to go there every couple of months or so. One attraction for us is that they allow our dog to be there in her stroller. On the patio. And they treat Snowey very well. The food quality is top notch. My wife and I shared the oysters, each had a cup of the pumpkin bisque, the crab stuffed sole and had the butter cake for dessert. All were excellent.
