I absolutely love this place. The beignets had a TON of powdered sugar on them, but the steak and broccoli cheddar soup were both perfect. Great service, amazing atmosphere, will be returning.

Needs a little more variety with the menu. Food was fair. It's got a chance if they will just make a better effort in offering some New Orleans style brunch

We have been here many times and mostly enjoy the food and drinks. Be careful what time you come to brunch because the biscuits are hard as rocks and they do not make fresh ones from 12-2. We showed them today how inedible the biscuits were and they brought us out another one of like quality very unapologetically. Come from breakfast and not for brunch for fresh food.

Fantastic food. I had the fried redfish and grits and it was amazing. Top notch. Service was so attentive, fast, and friendly. The beignets were amazing with the bananas foster sauce.

When this restaurant was new, the weekday lunch food and service was great. The last two visits were on a Saturday evening and food was subpar (cold) and service was terrible. The first Saturday it took forever for alcohol to come out. I had to leave my courtyard table and walk to the bar to get refills because our waitress was MIA. As far as the service, the waitress wrote down my wife’s entrée order but she did not receive it. I had to go back to the bar to complain about this and she’s still did not receive it until we were leaving. We were there again last night, and the place was empty so the kitchen was not busy. Once again, the service was poor. Spinach dip taste great, but it was on the cold side and we did not receive all the items for the seafood platter. When asked about this the waitress lied and said, hush puppies were not on the menu. She also lied and said all of the red wine was chilled, and she could not serve a glass of room temperature red wine. That is hard to believe when I walk past a wine cellar full of red wine. I really wish this place would higher better staff because I do enjoy the atmosphere, and overall when the food is hot, it is delicious.

This is my second time coming here. The first trip, the waitress completely forgot my food, the manager did bring me a to go plate with my order, so that was fine. Figured we would give it another try, never again. Spinach dip was mediocre, ordered the fried shrimp platter, didn't want the fish. Waitress brings out the food, and my husband inquires about the hush puppies. She said it didn't come with that, but would ask if they'd make some, and they did. But you knew for a fact, the menu said otherwise. Baked Mac, is not at all baked. Red wine is served cold. I think this place has a lot of potential, but the service (just speaking of the waitresses we have had), and the food could be a tad better.

I would give zero stars if I could. This is supposed to be Shrimp and Gouda grits with Tasso?. I was told that they have a different cook on Sundays. Translation: don’t come on Sundays because we don’t care what we serve you‼️

Lunch here with my wife yesterday...had heard about it and wanted to try it. Possibly the worst meal that we have ever had in the Slidell area. $24 seafood platter consisted of one piece of some kind of fish, about 12 shrimp (previously frozen) mostly fries with no hush puppies; even though they were advertised on the menu item. The fish tasted old and about to go bad. Don't waste your time. Go to Southside or Phil's.

It was a hot mess. We had our Christmas lunch here on Dec 16. We arrived at noon. It started off ok but went downhill from there. There was another group who was already seated when we arrived. It was 1 hour, and 15 minutes and we weren't even served our salads. We were about to leave and just pay for drinks and the waitress said they were ready to serve. Mine and one of my cousins' orders were incorrect. Another two ordered fish and it was dry. We asked and were given a 20% discount. After we ate it took another 45 minutes to get our checks and they were also incorrect. To my surprise (not a good one) I had ask for something to replace the fries and the waitress said I could have a salad. There was an upcharge on the ticket. The meal was okay but we will not be back. To the manager: If you can only handle one group at a time a time don't book another one.
