We stopped for a lite snack before heading out. The order included a lot of appetizers, shots, and other beverages.
Service: 5 stars because after sitting for more than 12+ mins w/o any service, the manager, DERRICK (sp) saw us wave him over. He was friendly, listened to us, apologized, took our drink orders, then had-their best server on duty-PETER be our server. They both need capes! These two are to ONLY reason I didn’t rate service as 2 stars.
Food: Fresh, hot, not too bland. The fries are hand cut, shoe string size, and crispy. The oyster shots were 3 for $8 HAD TO GET THEM! Photos of everything were ordered included.
Atmosphere: Out in the deck by the water, for me, priceless. Not insects, rowdy pets, or annoying pest.

I only suggest this place for their happy hour and during sailing season when they have races on Wednesdays. Everything tastes the same imo and they use wild oysters which are dredged. But it’s a novelty spot when someone’s in town and wants to see the lake.

Good food and a nice view. We sat near the water which made the experience really enjoyable. The only downside is that it can get a bit noisy.

One of the most disappointing crawfish experiences I’ve had in a long time. I genuinely wanted them to be good….they just weren’t.
A large number of the crawfish were flat and extremely soft. While a flat tail doesn’t automatically mean anything on its own, when many of them are mushy and carry a muddy, reheated taste, that’s usually a sign something isn’t right. The texture was off, the flavor was dull, and the quality did not justify the price (Clesi’s prices without Clesi’s quality). The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. The venue itself has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, the crawfish tasted like dirty sock water.

Every single thing we had here was good. The grilled oysters was really good! The fish was nice and flaky and seasoned well.

This place was so nice and cute!
The food tasted so good, above expectations. Everything on the menu sounded good, I had limited time to eat though.
Blue crab pasta here is the best I ever had and the stuffed flounder. Never had flounder before but this is definitely worth coming back for.
The place was pretty clean especially for the end of the day and the servers were super friendly and helpful. We got there close to closing time but the kitche was still open so they let us order and we quickly ate to not hold them back for too long. All the food was perfectly cooked, we took home leftovers and finished them too.
It is such a cool restaurant by the river too, there is a nice view of the river from inside and also outdoor sitting.
100/10 would recommend

For starters, the Char grilled oysters and fried onions rings were absolutely right perfect. My oyster poboy was good and my cheese grits were excellent. I think they used some type of cheddar that made them tangy. but tasty. It took a while for the food to come out, but it was worth the wait. The hostess, waitress and scenery was absolutely awesome. I will be back!

Absolutely outstanding experience! This place has made my must eat list for whenever I’m in New Orleans. Was greeted warmly and seated immediately. It’s right on the river so nice views of the water and the boats. Started with the steamed crab claws and the fried crab claws. We liked both because they were so flavorful and they gave much larger portions than most restaurants give. The crab cakes were good, but not our favorite. The chargrilled blue crabs were amazing!!!! Absolutely loved! Full of flavor, cheese butter and garlic. The best thing of all were the boiled blue crabs!!! Lord whatever they boiled them in needs to sold. It was a perfect blend of seasonings and spices and the crabs were large, delicious and full of meat. Every bite was bursting with juices. Of course they have a full bar and wine selection. Our server, Ashley A was amazing. She made sure a drink didn’t get low or a tad of trash built up. She was on it and made us feel really welcome. They had live music when we were on the way out and had we had more time that would have been fun. I would definitely recommend and return.
