    Chilly Night

    Chilly Friday night, they do their best to keep the dining area warm but the front door gives a blast every time it opens. Food was average, calamari appetizer was very good. Pricey for the fare.

    This place is amazing. Every time we go the food is spot on. Owners are attentive as is the staff. Close your eyes while eating and you would think you were in New Orleans.

    Good dinner but...

    Good dinner. Very heavy and filling. Everything was fried and loaded in some kind of sauce. Not my kind of food. The waitress Mary was great. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Would go back but not soon. 😊
