Eric A.Eric Andersen: Try the mignonette sauce on your oysters!

Seong H.Seong Hwang: Raw and roasted oysters are great. Try their biscuits and side salad, too. But their fried chickens are not good enough - not well seasoned, bland, and the outer skin is too tough. Gumbo too watery.

Eric A.Eric Andersen: Not sure about mushroom toast? It lives up to its name — with heaping mushrooms!
