We had a delicious meal. I tried the newest menu item, the stuffed jumbo shrimp. This is definitely one you don’t want to miss. The service was the best I’ve had in the city!! This is my favorite restaurant to visit and be treated like NOLA Royalty. Our server JC was outstanding! Looking forward to returning soon.
