Late lunch at the bar. Margarita was tasty and she had the French 75, with Hendricks. So good she had another! She had the oysters which she loved and I had the gumbo which was really...

Our party of 8 called ahead and was sat upon arrival. The oyster sampler is one of my faves. The drinks are pretty good too.

This establishment is not dog friendly! As soon as we walk in the rude manager couldn't shove us out the door fast enough.

Amazing meal, even better drinks. Great service & atmosphere. Perfect place to eat and enjoy a night downtown, or for a gameday.

The food was good and service was great. The baked oysters and hush puppies were a great start but I have to admit the Redfish Orleans was pretty oily. The food was good although very heavy.
