My friends made reservations for my birthday celebration, and we were excited to eat at File Gumbo for the first time.

Nevertheless, our disappointment faded as we watched the skilled chef prepare our food right before us. I enjoyed seeing all of the ingredients and smelling the spices.

And if you fail to try their grilled oysters...well, that will be your eternal loss LOL.
