    Crawfish were very fishy, did not taste fresh. Happy hour oysters/shrimp were very good value.

    Food was excellent, nice portions. Took a while to get noticed by staff, but otherwise our server was very attentive. If you want an option to crowded French Quarter restaurants, this is a great find.
