    The blackened catfish was reallyyy good! It was a special and it was topped with shrimp and had a side of greens. My friend had another special which was the Mardi Gras pasta - another great pick!

    Amazing food and cocktails for a reasonable price. Get the cajun fries, gator bites (half fried, half grilled) and the Taste of New Orleans plate.

    Excellent blackened alligator. I got a special, blackened redfish smothered in a cream sauce and shrimp over a bed of crawfish cornbread dressing. Delicious. The Swamp Tea is tasty, like limeade.

    The Oceana oysters were the best oysters I have ever had. It seems touristy bot don't be fooled. It's worth the wait to get in the food is amazing.

    The chicken fettuccine Alfredo is top class! Spicy Cajun sauce served over a delicious fried chicken breast. And you should really try the Gator bates. Surprised me how tasty it was!

    The food, atmosphere & service are phenomenal here! Jamal is, hands down, one of the most knowledgeable & best servers I've ever had! Thank you Jamal & Oceana, for a great experience.

    Blackened chicken was great. Had me sweating just enough to know I was in New Orleans but not enough to have me on the toilet. The rice was also phenomenal! Two thumbs up!

    The best ribs I've ever had! Melt in your mouth and the barbecue sauce is perfect. My husband loved the blackened salmon with the crawfish. Will be back!

    Crab cakes & alligator tail both amazing!! Fried seafood platter is huge! Lots for what you're paying for. Family of 5 & only waited for 15 mins or a table at 730 on a busy Tuesday night

    Gator bites served with a spicy dipping sauce. Mm! Surprisingly tasty. Also try the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Deliciously fried chicken breast with a spicy Cajun sauce and fettuccine. yum!

    Reasonably prized breakfast. The pain perdu (french toast) with sausage was amazing, the french bread was delicious and soft. Hash browns were good, but the biscuits were average. Coffee was good.

    Liked the red beans and rice, just wish it had beans and not all mush. Crawfish etouffe had one little piece of shrimp and one piece of crawfish in it. Fried shrimp was good. Husband liked jambalaya.

    The Redfish with crawfish étouffée is great. Had gator bites and oysters Rockefeller for appetizers. My husband enjoyed his classic martinis, too. Creme broule was a good choice for dessert.

    The tuna special is the way to go. Blackened tuna stuffed with a crabcake topped with crawfish and a sauce served with a side of jambalaya and a vegetable. The service was great ask for Ben.

    I suggest Crawfish Etuffee and Taste of New Orleans, very tasty, no digestion problems. If you take lemonade you don't pay.

    Johnell is a great server. Very attentive to the customer. Get the chargrilled oysters the ocean way. Perfection! A seafood gumbo also a win!

    Delicious! One of the best places we ate at in New Orleans. Tried the turtle soup (100 year old recipe) and it was good. Tasted like chili.

    Started with a Hurricane, and then another. A bowl of Gumbo with two spoons. (To die for) Then I had the Fried Shrimp Platter. GREAT! My wife had the Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo and two Hurricanes!

    Long wait with a line out the door but the upstairs bar is full service and you get to pass the line 😉 Veggie pasta with marinara and no cheese 🌱

    Food was excellent. Also, the upstairs dining area was very quiet and a welcome change from the hustle bustle of bourbon

    Spice up your life with the Ragin Cajun Bloody Mary paired with the alligator bites. Then cool down with the Spiced Apple Mojito. The mint & rum blend will feel like you took a sip of heaven

    If you're starving, take the Maw Maw's Cajun breakfast challenge... Also the Eggs Melanaza are as good as touted. Bloody Mary is a necessary staple.

    Wow - I did read through the reviews but lost some trust in my fellow foursquarers. Had high hopes for oceana, but basically seems like chain restaurant food. Didn't hold a candle to other NO fare.
