We ate here on our first night in NOLA. Waitress was super sweet. We were told they were really short handed yet they took our orders and got our food out pretty fast. Food and drinks were great. They have the best gumbo!
Amazing food! Definitely check out the crabcakes special and the taste of New Orleans will not disappoint. The drinks are strong but a bit too sweet.
Food was great, service was poor. With this being right on Bourbon street, I stress leniency in service time for sure, but 20 minutes to get a menu? We stayed because it was late and many places were closing. Starting over at another place was not an option for 6 people.
Glad we stayed though! Food was amazing. Waitress said her supervisors were “fighting” so they opened the second floor with only two servers so they wouldn’t have to work around each other. So this explained the long wait.
Hope they get it together! We’ll be back. Like I said, the food was great!

Overall, good food. It's located in the lively bourbon st. If you are on the street or close by, stop by for traditional local food, nothing fancy, service is ok, just be patient. They are normally busy. Bread pudding, the sauce is great, the rest is ok.
This place was a huge WOW! It's August so the weather is nasty! And the staff brought us ice water while we waited in line. Super sweet! Then we make it inside and the service was great! We got drink right away (super plus) then we received great food recommendations and ended up with the cat fish platter, crab cakes with mushroom sauce and the blacked chicken po'boy AND everything with delicious! We loved the cat fish so much we want to fit this place in again during our week stay! The staff through out the night was very good with coming by and checking on us! I don't know about the rest of the restaurants on this strip but this one was amazing and highly recommend!!
After going to Oceana’s, the sister restaurant, and absolutely loving it - this was a let down. My house salad was blah for 6.50 (see pic), the fried fish and fried oysters were fishy - as in not fresh. The service was good. I was underwhelmed and sad because we raved to friends about Oceana’s and now they don’t want to go because to them it may be the same experience.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. The music was VERY loud and bothersome. The kids meals are very overpriced and not good at all. The Cajun fries and shrimp platter were very fresh and tasted great. The gumbo however left more to be desired as well as the redfish & crawfish étouffée, edible, but not something I’d go out of my way for. The gator bites and the sauce they came with were the star of the show. Incredibly fresh and flavorful.
The food in Bourbon Street, New Orleans is amazing, but the best Cajun pasta stands out among the rest. I highly recommend trying it out. The texture of the pasta is perfect, and the sauce has just the right amount of spice to give it that authentic Cajun flavor. The service is also impeccable, and the ambiance of the restaurant is just what you'd expect from a place in one of the liveliest streets in the world. If you're a foodie or just looking for a fantastic meal in New Orleans, this is the place to go!
