The shrimp & grits are hands -down the best I've ever had. Hell, this makes my top favorite 10 seafood dishes nationwide. The gin/ginger beer cocktail is also great!

Crab cakes are the best you’ll find. Creole pasta was also perfect. This place is worth a visit if you’re in town .

The cream of crab soup is amazing. And the New Orleans burger , with jalapeños and kielbasa ? I think yes. Can't wait to go back for dinner tonight!
