    Trying to figure out which Louisiana-made hot sauce to shake into your gumbo? Crystal sauce adds rounded, smoky pepper notes, while Tabasco delivers a tangy kick. Via CityEats.com Read more

    The crab soup was amazing but the double chocolate bread pudding is to die for ask for Ike the server. He is a real character and is a regular on the HBO series Treme

    The red fish is AMAZING! Get it. The alligator boudin balls? Eat them. The NOLA Blonde? Drink it. I know what I'm talking about. Trust me! And Ike the server? Request him. He is NOLA.

    A casual seafood place; the BBQ oysters, gumbo and blackened catfish were excellent

    Gumbo is some of the best I've ever had, entree was the mahi mahi with beurre blanc and grilled asparagus, paid extra to have it topped with jumbo lump crab. Absolutely amazing!!!

    Try the Crab n Creole: Crab and grilled corn over sliced local tomatoes. Try the Fried Oyster Po Boy: the fried oysters are perfectly seasoned with a tangy sauce which really balances the sandwich.

    We are oysters and crab dip and both were delicious :) the service begs for more friendliness. Prices are on a higher side, but for seafood more than acceptable.

    The redfish was amazing! I could have poured the sauce in a glass and drank it! The crab appetizer was also delicious. Overall, will definitely come back.

    Ask for Stephen, he is fantastic! The BBQ oyster poboy makes for a great lunch. Not your typical BBQ sauce. Delicious!!! Fresh bread! Will be back!

    The best bread pudding I've ever had! Double chocolate, vanilla bean ice cream with chocolate and white chocolate ganache!

    Had the red fish stew and it was excellent. The bread was similar to Cuban bread. The butler was big and tasted good.

    The mahi with crab, shrimp and buerre blanc was delish! Couple of false starts...but Dawn handled difficulties professionally and curteously.

    Great place for lunch, definitely not the hustle and bustle that others describe. Right next to the Astor, makes a great quick lunch.

    The bar-b-qued oysters and the chocolate bread pudding are worth the calories! Make a reservation - especially on a weekend - to avoid a lengthy wait.

    Not the best food in New Orleans but damn good. If you're over 40 and married there's no reason to venture further down Bourbon St after 6:00 PM.

    This place is obviously a tourist trap, but the "BBQ" (fried) oysters are definitely tasty, as is the crab cake. Extensive whiskey collection.

    Sit at the bar instead of waiting for a table. Get the BBQ oysters and crab dish with cheddar biscuits. Skip the gumbo.

    Barbecued oysters with blue cheese were ridiculous. The entrée was good, but I could just do the oysters. Dozens upon dozens of them

    Ask for Brandon. Gumbo is good, just small. Barbecue oysters are more like buffalo style oysters.
