Seems odd for a Wednesday night at 7:30, but we found other things to eat. Other than that the only issue is the same issue at almost every other restaurant in town, too loud. I would love to be able to have a nice week night dinner without going home with a sore throat, but I guess that’s not how we do things anymore. Our server was really sweet and the music was good.

They never informed us of this policy and knew we wanted to order entrees. The waitress only informed us as we went to order. It was handled poorly. They also promote themselves as an LSU bar, so we went to watch the game and had to leave in the middle which was frustrating. Their TV set up is not good to watch games, so I would not advise going there if you want to sit at a table and also see a TV.

Cocktails were good too. Love the decor and the music!! Energetic atmosphere was a bit loud with the bar scene right next to the dinner table - had to yell to talk. Definitely a 20s/30s crowd for that reason. Definitely make a reservation! Line outside for the bar was long at 6 on a Saturday… supposedly a line started forming at 2!! We will absolutely be back.
