Nathan LaPlaineJune 8, 2013food was ok, I'd say pretty average. The bread pudding was good. Service was a bit lacking.
Heathor Kerr BalazyNovember 20, 2012Terrible service. Waitress kept forgetting order and coming back to ask what we ordered. WRITE it down. Someone else ended up coming over to help. Won't be back.
Barbara YelvertonOctober 18, 2014No! The gumbo tasted like it came out of a can. And the waiter agreed with me!
RichardSeptember 25, 2011I hope you have better luck. I waited 45 min for food that never showed, and didn't see the waiter after he brought my drink.
Alexis HarknessAugust 31, 2011Don't eat here. Just gave us hushpuppies as trying to pass them off as boudin balls. Then tried to charge us $9 for them. THIEVES
Bill PNovember 21, 2012Slooooow service... closing in an hour and they act like they closed an hour ago.
Felicia AndersonJanuary 20, 2014There are better places to eat, don't waste your time or money here.
Café au LaitSeptember 29, 2012Not good... the service was awful and i have never had drier pancakes.
Megan BakerFebruary 29, 2012Pretty much the worst dining experience I've ever had. Would not recommend at all.
Amanda IrishMarch 12, 2011Terrible shrimp Creole. Very nearly put me off LA seafood. Avoid this place.
