The food was awesome The new Orleans seafood boil was awesome and had good amounts of seasoning, the crabby cheese bread y'all now that was good. As for my crab roll that wasn't the greatest and their gumbo could've been way better

We got the big boil and it is amazing. Service was great and the food was quick. It was a little chilly inside and the music was too quiet so we could hear a lot of the conversations around us but it was good food.
