What a hidden gem! In the middle of nowhere, I have no idea what motivated us to drive 35 minutes from downtown to check this out (OK it was my birthday, but still...) and are we ever glad we did.
Set in a small strip mall this family-run southern cooking star is worth the drive! The wonderful couple who own and run this have been at it for over two decades - and it still nails a menu designed to impress and satiate your palate.
Their Jambalaya star was tempting but we wound up splitting scallop and handmade crab cakes for appetizers. The scallops were cooked to perfection, and the crab cakes had a delightfully crispy exterior with a hot buttery crab filling. Incredible.
I ordered the Fisherman's Platter and the lightly cajun coated grouper was stunning. A perfect balance of texture, spice, and flavour.
My partner had the tenderloin which served with a well-balanced light tarragon sauce simply melted in your mouth.
The young waitress was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. She was backed by our host who demanded we stay for a complimentary birthday pecan pie and creme carmel! Who says no to awesome homemade desserts!
I'm a fussy reviewer and have to say, these folks nailed it all around! Thank you, we will be back to try the rest of the menu and experience your warm hospitality!
