While nothing is blooming right now as it's still February, you can still quietly walk around and take in the seasonal nature. There are plenty of benches spread about so you can sit and take a break if needed. The grounds are very clean and clear of debris. I look forward to going once things bloom and brighten up a bit.

The venue itself is very dark and the bar area gets very crowded easily. The wait staff did an excellent job serving and keeping attendees served despite the crowding. When the food line was ready, the hot foods were already lukewarm. The other foods were just okay. There was nothing special about any of the foods served. I expected the food served to be absolutely delicious for the pricing. Attended a similar sized wedding in NOLA in January with exceptional food, venue, and amenities.

The ac wasn't working and instead of calling someone to fix it they show up a hour and a half later with box fans. The owner said she had a ac guy out that morning therfore she knew it wasn't working. Over half the party left due to the heat and sweating. When the owner arrived she had attitude like it was our fault. The other owner hung up on me and would return my calls. Very unprofessional

Over the years they have expanded their fresh seafood while sticking with only things that are truly fresh. They also have a frozen section with a great variety.
