    I went with a group of 7 friends and it was absolutely perfect! The restaurant called to confirm our reservation, accommodated our changes, and everyone was very professional. Our server, Najhmier, was absolutely wonderful! He was knowledgeable, honest, gave great menu recommendations, generous, hospitable, and fun. Our food came out quickly and just as we ordered it. Nothing had to be corrected or sent back. The drinks were perfect. We literally shut down the restaurant because we having such a good time. We didn't realize how much time was passing! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!

    The raw oysters, fried oysters, Addie’s mussels, Jambalaya, and Lo Que Los Gatos Sueñan were delicious. The Caesar Salad had no flavor…none. No anchovy flavor…

    Food was excellent. I had the pork chop and it was amongst the best I’ve tasted. We had a party of 7 and they all had a variety of things and they were all happy. Bread basket is not to be missed.
