"The Spinach dip was great! It was delicious. My husband had the shrimp creole. He said it was the best he’s ever had. I had the tenderloin. It’s just okay. The macaroni and cheese was pretty good. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this restaurant and would eat there again."

"Never disappoints! Great local lunch or dinner option. The best Spanish coffee you can get. Food is consistently great. Bartenders are wonderful."

"This place is more than just absolutely phenomenal food with flavors that will blow your mind and your taste buds. The energies are chill and the staff is spectacular! Five stars doesn’t seem like enough!!"

"This place is awesome. Great atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff, and the food is out of this world. We had a little bit of everything, mussels, catfish, tenderloin tips, it was all so delicious."

"Absolute excellence, I can’t say enough how good the food was. I have been in Michigan for 5 years and this is the best restaurant I’ve had the pleasure to visit since moving. I had the catfish étouffée which was extremely crispy and seasoned perfectly. We asked what was popular and they offered “the taste of New Orleans” with a bit of everything which is not listed on the menu - highly recommend. It has jambalaya, red beans and rice, and creole sausage with slaw and was amazing. We also got the butter beans on the side - they are dripping with bacon and bacon fat, how can you beat that? We sat at the bar and never had to worry about service but they also weren’t hovering. I’ll be here very often from now on as the prices aren’t bad either. Two people, an appetizer, two entrees and four drinks ~$100. Seriously, please visit this place if you want to have one of the best meals in a long time. Only thing to note is that it’s not a huge restaurant, seats around 50 people max so you may have to wait for a table but I promise it’s so worth it."
