    Great food and our waiter, Robert, was fantastic. My husband had the Taste of New Orleans, which he thoroughly enjoyed, and I had the red beans and rice.

    Jambalaya was dry, basically a big plate of spiced rice. Shrimp & Grits was underwhelming, dry, and under seasoned. I was looking for serious NOLA and didn’t find it.

    My husband and I ate at this restaurant last night. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great! In comparison with other reviews, the average prices were equivalent or better. The only complaint I had was that it was very loud.
