"The unique method of cooking the meal is the reason to sit at the bar. There is a steam boiler in the back that sends the heat through pipes to 10 cooking bowls at the bar where the food is prepared in front of the customers. We have been there 4 times in five weeks. The menu is Cajun Creole and you tell them the level of spice that you want on a scale of 1-10. Spice also means flavors not necessarily heat to turn your eyes red. A basket of fresh crackers and bread accompany your soups The fresh oyster plate is lovely and I’m looking forward to them adding Oysters Rockefeller. The clam chowder was delicious without being thick. We invited a friend from France to join us and he raved about the Bouillabaisse being perfection he hadn’t had since a child. The wait staff weren’t obtrusive but kept the drinks filled and were attentive if you turned to look for them. The attitude is one of enjoying the luxury of a casual environment where you are here for an amazing tasting meal of superior ingredients that are based on the best authentic recipes. There is a large screen TV set up in front of what will become a full service bar so I imagine that atmosphere will continue to lean casual but with class. If you are looking for massive portions of commercial grade then this is not your style of restaurant. The food and sauces are created by chefs not out of a plastic reheat bag. The chefs are very pleasant to talk with as they are working right in front of you."
