   Had a 4PM reservation but was able to be taken almost 1 1/2 hours early due to staff already having our table prepped. There was NOBODY in the place until we were eating apps and even when there was, it was very quiet. Drinks were outstanding, food was perfection. Please try the sweet potato fritters!!! I had chicken alfredo and the portion was enough to take home and still be stuffed at the restaurant. I didn’t have the seafood, but my party said that the oysters and baked clams were out of this world!!!

   The room is really cool, I like the design a lot. The scallops francese were fine. Duck spring rolls were way too overstuffed with meat, nothing else. It made the bite too heavy. It tasted like a frozen cheese steak roll. Shrimp carbonara was an odd profile. Not very reminiscent of a carbonara, more cajun. The short rib dish was really good, but a tad over-salted. Everything was a bit salty. I wouldn’t order any of these dishes again frankly. Might consider a second meal here but I doubt it.

   I went there to celebrate Mardi Gras and it was a great time. They had some Cajun dishes for the event. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. The drinks were great. Love to dine here
