During one of the early visits we had to tell the waitress that the seafood gumbo needed to be heated up because it was at room temperature. I'm hopeful that they read these comments because another Yelper called it tepid temperature which I agree. This shouldn't happen at all! The flavor of the gumbo was fine but wished it was slightly thicker with more ingredients. The seafood fried sampler was fantastic! Perfectly fried and clean oil. The shrimp was plump and delicious. Overall a good restaurant that needs some attention to food temperature. I wanted to watch a NFL game on Fox and the poor waitress tried to change the channel but wasn't able to. They have TV's all over the restaurant but only ESPN?! It's a pseudo sports bar with no other sports channels.

Busy dining room full of happy people.

I had the lasagna and my coworker had the lobster ravioli. Both of these items were really good. The salad was really good. Unfortunately, the minestrone soup was not the best.

The young lady that helped us was very nice and answered all of our questions and the actual style and layout of the restaurant is very rustic, very quaint, very modern, but friendly and family oriented.
