Got the tuna and the steak/lobster special and both were so good! The pink pearl drink was the perfect drink. Place is very cute and definitely has a fun upscale feel. Lex was so sweet and made us feel so comfortable! She is a great waitress!

Our server, Josh, and the manager Rob are world-class employees. They accommodated our large party with short notice. Josh made sure our food was served hot and our drinks were flowing. The Basil Lemon Drop was refreshing! The Oyster sampler was delicious We dined on several appetizers as well! The food did not disappoint! My family and I will DEFINITELY be dining here again and soon!

My second time dining there did not disappoint. Started the evening with the Blueberry Pomegranate Sangria. Perfect choice. It was so good I had another. Happy Hour bar bites boudin balls and the sauce that came with them was tasty. For dinner I ordered the fried shrimp with cheesy grits and fried okra. Everything was delicious. Our waiter and bartender, Jesus T, was friendly and pleasant. The meal was served quite quickly and was filling. No room for dessert. Next time.

Back in Louisiana and decided to try a new oyster spot. The place was beautiful and inviting atmosphere. The Oysters Bienville was tasty & nicely coated with four toppings. The cup of seafood gumbo was delicious and I wished I would’ve gotten a bowl. Service was wonderful too, I will definitely will be back.

My niece and nephew introduced me to this gem in the BR. It was Mardi Gras that day and the restaurant was getting ready to close. Our waitress was patient and recommended dishes for us to try. I got the fried green tomatoes for the appetizer they were so good I ordered some to go. For my entree I had the shrimp and grits they were excellent. My family loves this place so I'm sure I will see it again whenever I visit.

This is a beautiful little restaurant. Went for some oysters. The menu has lots of good choices. The oysters were very tasty & nicely coated, but a little small compared to others I’ve gotten this season. Also had the crab claws, which were delightful. Definitely will be back

I didn’t know about this place but it’s a gem! Food and service was amazing. So many things I want to try. Will be back. I had the mushrooms and chargrilled oysters... A1.

The service was spectacular! We came in with a party of 30 and they seated us promptly after setting up a private space for us! I was so surprised at how quickly the food came out, and everything was paced perfectly! Apps came out within 10 minutes, followed by entrees a mere 20 minutes later! We had two servers who were obviously very experienced! The teamwork between the entire staff was amazing to see! Oh, and the food was mouth water-ingly delicious too! I cant speak highly enough of the experience I had last night! Thank you to the manager for checking on me!!
