First time experience and was fantastic end-to-end. Environment is great. Friendly staff and customers at the bar. Had a reservation from the day before and was seated promptly on time. Fried green tomatoes, blackened redfish, and grouper oscar were all amazing! Thank you to Ash & Darby & the rest of the crew. Definitely coming back often!

We made this place our go to on Canal Street! Spacious setting with very attentive and personal service from a staff that obviously cares about what they are doing. Every choice I have made on meal selection has tasted amazing and exceeded my expectations and at a fair price too! Great job ya’ll!

We loved it in here the atmosphere was clean and smart and the staff was friendly. We were looking to spend a bit of time as we had a couple of hours to spend and were treated well throughout our visit.We shared a Fish Po' Boy and a chicken sandwich the Looney Bird or something.The chicken sandwich had a nice light coating and a nice flavor, and the fish was plentiful, well cooked, and had a great flavor.We hung out and ordered Cookies and Milk for dessert, 2 big ooey gooey, warm cookies cooked fresh and served warm, we also enjoyed a couple of cups of coffee with a shot of Jameson's.All in all a great time!

First time here, we are locals. Husband had grouper and said it was great. I had lobster cake., disappointing. No lobster to be seen, no lump crab like menu says. Crab is shredded into cake. Looks like the “lump part may have been 1/2 inch skinny pieces of fish. Way too salty (and I like my food salty) and way over seasoned. Probably to cover up lack of lobster and crab. Probably won’t be back.

One of the best meals my husband and I have had in a long time. I went in expecting the standard beach side over priced food that equal a Ruby Tuesday chain restaurant. I have to say I was WRONG in the BEST way!!! 100% fresh & truly chef inspired food. I will definitely be back & telling

Highly recommend this place. Seems like plain Jane, however each dish we ordered was great. I agree w another reviewer, the Tomahawk pork chop best ever. I ordered it Medium and it came out tender and tasty. My wife ordered Salmon well done, once again cooked perfectly.
