                                                  The food was extremely disappointing. The redfish came out fishy and undercooked, like it was frozen and quickly flash fried with seasoning. Two people at my table ordered it and did not touch it. The lamb duo was inedible. It was so tough you could not chew or swallow the meat, I had to spit it out after chewing a few minutes. The mushroom side dish is not seasoned, it’s just earthy mushrooms steamed.. we had a terrible experience. The waiter never acknowledged 3 of the 4 people dining didn’t touch their plates. Not the restaurant my family and I remembered, huge disappointment, will not be going back. The food has significantly gone downhill.

We ordered the gumbo and crawfish risotto for appetizers, followed by the blackened red fish and gulf fish. We left our plates clean. Highly recommend ordering the Banana’s Foster for dessert! They prepare it at your table and it’s so fun to learn the history and have a delicious dessert.

                                                  The food tasted delicious, and the staff was wonderful except for our waiter. He was a slim, middle aged white man with a scruffy face. He acted snobby throughout our lunch making it an unpleasant experience.
