Marigny9January 8, 2017If you're looking for solid, unpretentious fresh seafood, this is the place. Sit outside on the deck and enjoy the views of the marina. Delicious boiled shrimp, crab & oysters.
Melissa PolingJanuary 30, 2019Chargrilled oysters were so good and the fried Calamari was delicious. Joshua took care of us with plenty of drink refills and great tips about places to visit during our NOLA trip.
Wade PriceMarch 15, 2019We’ve been here many times and have always enjoyed the experience. Last night was an exception. It took an hour, alone, to get the appetizer. The sautéed crab appetizer was $25!! The price was MKT.
Anna OrtolanoJune 10, 2016The band Redline. Makes everything better; the food, the atmosphere, the sunsets!. Plays most every Sunday evening.
- Dee PittmanMay 18, 2017Had blackened mahi, fried catfish & oysters. Great drink recommended by our awesome waitress Kristine called "blue crab collins"...Everything was a hit!
Boiles seafood spice mix is on point! Corn & potatoes come with boiled order...not as an extra side. Lively view of harbor.- Wade PriceFebruary 3, 2019The crab claw appetizer! Smuggle in some extra bread and enjoy the sauce. I’d bathe in it...lol.
Best local seafood in town. Oysters are very tasty. Average prices for fresh cooked seafood.
Tanya FazendeSeptember 15, 2013The soft shell crab was amazing, large & fat. Excellent wait service, all very personable & accommodating.- Roy TaorminaNovember 14, 2013Great view with incredible views. Old style delicious lakefront dining!!! Highly recommended.
- 2 big tv's are distracting. Sit on the edge of the restaurant or on the lakefront patio.
Richard HassellAugust 31, 2016Oysters on the half shell, shrimp and oyster poboys, harbor view and patio seating
Moe WilliamsMarch 31, 2016Overpriced regular menu but happy hour is awesome! Discounted wine and apps

"The crawfish and crab bisque is absolutely amazing! At least try a cup if you don't want it for an entire meal. Bisque + char-grilled oysters = happiness"
Ruth Becker - 7.6
"The raw and chargrilled oysters are marvelous! Stuffed blue crab and shrimp beignets, boudain balls and shrimp remoulade app are worth walking from the French Quarter! Lillian S was a great waitress!"
Chris H - 7.9
"A great comeback story. All renovated, bright and clean. Give it a try and get the fried green peppers."
