They served me some of the best gumbo I've ever had. It was so delicious and the fish tacos were really good also. The service was good and so were the views from the second floor.

Rented an airbnb near by and this was a perfect spot to catch a late dinner. The employees were super helpful. They are seriously about maintaining social distancing. Food was good and drinks were also good. Family friendly restaurant.

I struggled with giving 5 stars because of the 2nd staff member I dealt with. First staff member I spoke with was Ricky. I verified that the restaurant was dog-friendly, but then he told me all service was upstairs. I'm travelling with my mom who has mobility...Read More
