Expertly seasoned food with ample portions makes Freshwaters a great 4th Ward find. This is Southern comfort food without the usual guilt. The giant bowl of Jambalaya I ordered made two meals. My husband had the grilled blackened Salmon with a side of greens. Conveniently located in a pleasant walking distract means that ordering desert can be justified - fresh made warm peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream that my grandmother would have been jealous of. The atmosphere was relaxing, influences of the New Orleans Jazz and Blues vibe makes this a great spot for entertaining friends or for special occasions. The welcoming staff did not mind my stopping in dressed in casual attire on a whim, strolling by with my spouse. This place has the charm of a neighborhood favorite but so good you have to tell all your friends about it. I can't wait to try the crab cakes next time - friends of mine said they are delicious.
