I order the gumbo today for lunch and it was like spicy vegetable tomato soup with some sausage, some crab meat, and1 shrimp. Contrary to what it says - there were no oysters to be found.

The Sea Bass, Snapper, and Talapia were all prepared well and delicious. The service was friendly, professional, and attentive. The cost was in line with the quality of a great dining experience. More
