Great server and medley was great. Food came quickly. Try the Oyster shooter.

Whatever happened to this place?? The food is terrible!!! I had a dozen grilled oysters - it was over cooked and over chewy and salty -used to be just right, tender on the inside and properly seasoned rather than over salted. Also, for $29 I expect to have 12 normal sized oysters - sadly 3 of 12 were tiny dime sized! Seafood gumbo was bland, and the Crabcake was terrible, served over some sort of horseradish mustard sauce. The crabcake was mostly bread, the tiny little bit of crab. I would not go back. I’ve been to Nola five times and I used to come here every time I visited. Coming back anymore. The quality food at this place has changed! Don’t go unless you want to eat a bland salty forgettable meal and pay top dollars

Grilled oysters are tasty but a bit on the small side and a little overdone for my liking. Fried oysters and shrimp weren't too salty (I like) but the fried fish had a wierd texture for me. I think the fish being thin had something to do with it. Service was excellent as we have been here multiple times.

The grilled oysters are worth a 2 hour wait. This is where the locals eat. This is also where transplants return 1st.
