| - Live music at dinner ! AMAZING!
This place is cool, and we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit: great music, good vibe, good cocktail list, friendly staff and good service.
I'm giving it four stars: the atmosphere and the setting is 5 stars, but the food was 3 stars. We had okra and oysters to start: hard to get oysters wrong if they're fresh and good quality, which these were. The okra trio has pickled, fried and blackened okra, which is beautifully presented but nothing special. For mains, the snow crab was a win: snow crab is usually delicious and also hard to get wrong, but never very plentiful or filling. The catfish po' boy was good but not excellent, and the side of mustard greens was way too heavy on the garlic.
Our food did take a long time to come out. To compensate, the staff comp'ed us our drinks and the beignet dessert (excellent!), so I have to complement them on acknowledging our wait and making a big effort to make up for it.
We will go back - definitely for drinks and music, but I'd be prepared to give the food another shot too. I'm most excited about the blues, jazz, and honky tonk that this place has.
