    There are Louisiana style dishes but even the normal fish and steak plates are excellent. Ask about their daily specials. It is fairly pricey but a good value for the money. Cozy and nice atmosphere.

    I tried the Blackened Shrimp. It was perfectly prepared and a generous portion. For dessert I had the bread pudding. Next time I want to try the Creme Brulee.

    This restaurant brings New Orleans to Central Texas with its seafood gumbo and ettouffee. All it's missing is bare breast and beads!

    Had the special: blackened red fish with sautéed spinach, sun dried tomatoes and artichokes accompanied by mustard mash potatoes and awesome cabbage. I will eat here again.

    I recommend it. The crawfish etouffe was very good, and the French Quarter Salmon was delicious. The service was attentive and courteous.

    Blackened catfish in the white wine sauce with dirty rice. Oh yeah, baby. And both creme brulees are insanely good.

    Amazing gumbo! Also, hours are tricky as they are closed on weekdays from 2-5pm.
