I thoroughly enjoyed this place! Great spot for "me time". Acoustic guitar while being served the MOST deliciously seasoned... blackened fish by the most polite and prompt waitress, Heidi. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND Read more

Outstanding service and food! Had Crab Stuffed Eggplant and the Crab Cake dinner. Both were exceptional. We?ve been traveling... for 3 weeks and this is the best restaurant so far. Read more

The absolute best crab cakes, gumbo, and atmosphere that I?ve ever experienced?.and I?m born, raised, and live in Louisiana.... Call and make a reservation though, this place is so good and everyone around there knows it so it tends to be busy. Read more

A definite gem in the town of Donaldsonville. The atmosphere is upbeat with the live music but not overbearing. Wait staff was... wonderful. The crab cakes as an appetizer was one of the freshest tasting crab cakes I've ever eaten in my life. The crab meatau gratin is absolutely worth the extra cost to add with the crab cakes. The food is not over seasoned so you can actuallytaste the different flavors of the authentic Cajun cooking. Although some may seem the the food takes a little while longer tocome out, the quantity and quality of the food is well worth the wait. Read more

Comfort food at its Best! Service was weird! The waitress would hand the food to my sister and I across the table ( 4 Top) and... place the food for our husbands. She was abrupt with every conversation. Read more

Great food. Offers a blend of Cajun, Creole, and African food. The walls have original local art for sale. Reservations are... recommended. I hear they are also known for their martinis (I don't drink alcohol.) The café, which opened in 2001, is in a1920s era building. The waiting staff were dressed in black and looked sharp and were very polite. Hours: Monday-closed; Tuesday -Thursday lunch 11 AM - 2 PM, Dinner 5 PM - 8:30 PM; Friday lunch 11 AM - 2 PM, Dinner 5 PM - 9:00PM; Saturday Dinner 5 PM - 9:00 PM; Sunday lunch 11 AM - 2 PM Read more

Sunday, August 22, 2021, 1:20ish pm Had a really great experience. We went after seeing the Union Pacific locomotive "Big Boy"... come through with my 2-year-old. They are out of a few minor things due to the another influx of clientele from the train. Wearrived at 1:10ish when they typically close at 2, but we did not feel rushed when the time passed 2pm. Our server was veryfriendly, and i appreciated that all of the restaurant staff wore masks. Food: Firecracker shrimp was delicious and included 6pieces of shrimp. Meals started with salad that was fresh with tasty vinaigrette. Wife had chicken parmesan that she said wasgood, and started with a cup of crab, shrimp, and corn bisque. She said the bisque was a little heavy on the crab flavor, but iate some and thought it was good. I had crabcake stuffed redfish that was delectable with some kind of cream sauce on it thatmixed well with the mashed potatoes that were included. I also had a couple of Irish Coffees and was definitely not disappointedin the ample amount of Jameson whiskey that was included. For dessert, we had the bread pudding with white chocolate sauce andit was nice and hot and very tasty. If you find yourself in Donaldsonville, LA, I highly recommend paying this restaurant avisit. One slight con is that the bathrooms did not have changing table for children. Read more
