    Good food and excellent service. Atmosphere was nice but pretty noisy. Our main courses were the crawfish lobster cake entree and the blackened red fish. Both were good with the exception of the grilled asparagus. The chocolate bread pudding was decadent.

    Our dinner was delicious. I had the red fish & my husband had the skirt steak chimi. We also had the lettuce wraps for an appetizer & they had good flavor. The Pecan pie was amazing!
