Amazing food, atmosphere, & drink selection. The crab & lobster cake were the best crab cakes I've ever had! Delicious!

Decided to try this place for dinner. Atmosphere was nice. Big wine selection. We got the crab cakes. Those were delicious. I got the special of the day Cajun Jambalaya. It was NOT jambalaya. It was literally marinara sauce... it was not good at all. I only ate it because I was very hungry. It was very overpriced as well. $31 for the plate which included only 3 small shrimp and a little bit of sausage and maybe 2 small pieces of chicken. I asked if It was a creamy sauce and the waitress said yes. It definitely wasn't. It was straight marinara sauce. Not good. Waste of money. Whataburger sounded better honestly. We had high hopes for this restaurant as the menu sounded amazing. What the menu described was not what you got. My husband got the Cajun redfish and it wasn't really good either. Honestly disappointed.

Loved this place. Great ambiance and the bacon wrapped dates, Ceasar salad, grouper with risotto, and crème brûlée we ordered were all 5-stars. Old fashioned was on point too!

Wish I could have tried the food or drinks.. but after waiting a while, another table was seated nearby. When the waitress finally came out, she went straight to a table that was just seated without bothering to look In out direction. Wonder if it was just the bad lighting outside. coulda been.. but you gotta love unconscious bias of selecting a table over another without bothering to ask who was there long before the other table. I'm sure the food is fine based on reviews.
