    All around a delicious experience! We started with crab cakes, entrees of gumbo and a catfish po boy, and ended with beignets. The atmosphere is super neat.

    We loved the vibe. The music was classic jazz and congruent with NOLA. The service was wonderful. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and our server just knocked it out of the park in our celebration. Thank you! We will tell our friends and we will be back!

    Our waiter was amazing. The atmosphere of the restaurant was unique and entertaining. The cocktails were very good. The food was hands down phenomenal. We will definitely be back and telling others. Every dish had more layers and flavors than the last. I wish I could give 10 stars. This place is definitely a hidden gem.

    Seems like a hidden gem for some cajun food in Cincinnati. We enjoyed the gumbo, shrimp Po boy, and crab cakes. The location and connection to the brewery are a nice addition.

    Very good food and creative cocktails. We will go back for dinner before the theater. Loved the cocktails! Shrimp Royale and Pasta Laveau were the standouts.

    Best experience! Food is outstanding - the chef is amazing- you can tell he loves his work! Scott, our server, is excellent!! It was our first time, he was super helpful with selections and attentive. I’m already craving the shrimp royal with the amazing sauce and fluffy bread for dipping. Blackened catfish is the best I’ve ever had - perfectly spiced, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth good! Bananas foster for dessert! I’ll definitely be back, several times!!

    They DID NOT disappoint! The Chef special braised pork shank is easily top 3 of the best pork preparations I've ever had! Amazing. The atmosphere, the ambiance, the food, the service, all exceptional. Our server Scott, was fantastic, and we appreciated the Chef stopping by to check on our meal. Will definitely return!
