Loved the atmosphere! Split the dessert. The brownie with pecans and ice cream. It was heaven. Had live music!

Specialty drinks, ask for the Taste of Louisiana and the Seafood Gumbo if you're a newcomer. :)

Try the fried spinach! It's fried and so adds some grease to your diet, but it's tasty and the texture is one-of-a-kind!

Delicious food, glacial service. Like, two hours for lunch on a Tuesday.

Had "a taste of Louisiana" Rice was mush, jambalaya tastes like it had been sitting all day, and the gumbo was soup. The best thing on the plate was the fried shrimp. Thumbs down, wannabe bayou.

First time they had the regular brunch menu. Not a bad spot if the wait at capital club 16 is too long for weekend brunch.

Place has good food but immature college kids that will drunkly knock into you. If you want some place chill don't go here. Good live music though
