Many guests praise the timing and portion sizes, ideal if you're squeezing in a bite before curtain call.
Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the duck and andouille gumbo, crawfish etouffee, and the catfish, calling the dishes “hearty,” “authentic,” and “bursting with flavor.” Service consistently scores high for being attentive and fast, even during busy hours. The vintage yet modern décor gives off a sophisticated but unpretentious vibe, and the cocktail menu earns regular praise for its creativity and balance.
Some diners mention that the portion sizes can feel small for the price, especially during peak tourist hours. Others note that while the location is convenient, it can get a little crowded on weekends—so reservations are a good idea. It's also more of a sit-down experience than a grab-and-go option.
