    We had been before at the restaurant for Sunday brunch and we loved the food. But this time around we decided to try dinner menu and it over delivered our expectations! We had a 3-course menu and everything from service, atmosphere, drinks and food was excellent! The star of the dinner for us was the duck jambalaya, you get to try duck sausage, breast, crackling skin, patê. I mean once you find a restaurant that knows how to cook duck properly you have to stick with it (IYKYK). Also, a shout out to our server Samuel J, top tier service, he made sure we had a great experience and that we would made it on time to our cap’s game.
