    The menu.

    Before I blather on let me say head out here and get the $5 shrimp po boy special to try them out. It's not on a bun.. it's a 6(or more) inch loaf that's a little skinny but that made it perfect for eating and driving. The person claiming touristy prices must be from out of town or something. You get what you pay for. We have inflation dood! Lay off the "stuff" brah. You trippin! So, I was headed home to Reefer Ridge in almost Kennah, brah! after an appointment with a client. I was talking to my friend Jeff Hewitt, former Riverside County supervisor that served on the LNC with me. He is the guy who knows who the real life John Galt is but I ain't tellin. I then saw this sign that said $5 Shrimp Sandwich. I told this to Jeff as I was U turning and he agreed that I needed to go back and check that out. It was the new seafood restaurant taking over the old Rally's across from the St Roch Market. My first impression was the place was clean. My next impression was "Oh £¥€k! Where is my wallet!" I then drove to the speaker and they confirmed they could use my Apple wallet. My next impression was it was a pretty extensive menu and it looked good. I ordered the $5 special and decided to get a side of red beans. My next impression was at the window where I noticed they seemed to be Asian. "Eff Yeah!"This got me hopeful because maybe they were Vietnamese and most of my preferred shrimp po boys have been made by people of Vietnamese ethnicity. My Apple Wallet worked! After a very short wait of maybe 3-5 minutes they handed me a bag. I then continued on my way home.. eating my sammich. I had figured it was going to get a bun. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a po boy banh mi style. A little six(or more) inch loaf. I had forgotten to ask for ketchup and hot sauce the way I normally get it but that was ok especially for the first time. My next impression was how perfect the bread was. It was crisp and light and didn't cut my mouth. The shrimp were fresh and good and of a decent size. I could have stood a little more mayo for my taste but once again better for the first impression. I stayed off the interstate as I was eating and talking to Jeff on my headset. I finished the sandwich very pleased. Despite how skinny it was, it took me a while to eat. I moved on to the red beans. First impression here was.. "That's a lotta garlic!" Beans were good. Some meat in them. Not overloaded with rice. Portion size was maybe a little small for $3 So I am sitting here writing this review shocked how few reviews there are already and how poor the ones that are. Don't take our word for it. Go get the 5 dollar special and come make your own. Sorry for the lack of pics. I was driving, eating and talking on a headset. I have the menu in my car so I was grab that and post it. Every time I think about it.. I think I want another one and am considering making the 25 minute trip today, even though it's less that 12 hours later. That's a good sign.

    Lemon pepper bread it I didn't want that I thought it was nake it and chicken look like it's on steroids

    I'm pissed. The first time I tried it and it's nasty cajun rice is plain rice no taste, the chicken wings looked make on the picture lemo pepper bread is not good , service good but that not Cajun rice and the need new chicken wings

    FOURTEEN DOLLARS for this

    this place is basically a scam, the amount of food you receive looks nothing like what is pictured. paid fourteen dollars for a "basket" and got seven shrimp. You'd be better off going literally anywhere else.

But I was welcomed in to the bar with one open seat. The staff was very welcoming with a bit of sarcasm, which is probably something that I look forward to everywhere. I asked for recommendations, having looked at the menu and they handed me another special menu of the day stating obviously I hadn't read the whole thing yet. I started with the snapper appetizer and I have Tse with the coconut lime broth. It was absolutely delicious, followed by the crawfish capellini. I was surprised by the amount of crawfish in the dish and the chili flavor, which was absolutely delicious. I have been hearing about the hush puppies for a while so I had to try some, especially because my colleague raved about it at dinner the night before. Lastly, I had the baked drum which was delicious light and flaky. The flavors were incredible. I personally thought that the bread was a little overly grilled and chard, but overall the dishes still pretty good. I cannot say more about the dessert. It's absolutely one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. The sticky carrot cake toffee cake with cream cheese ice cream was just on the next level. I would try to come here if I was in the area every time.

We went on Mother's Day 2026, but were able to grab a reservation a couple of days before. There was a steady flow of patrons, but it wasn't packed. Since it's part of the Hilton hotel, it's pretty large and opens up to the hotel lobby and bar. We walked from our hotel, so I'm not sure about parking. We arrived a little early, but were immediately seated, which was nice, especially considering it was a holiday. I ordered a Prosecco to drink. I went with 2 other friends, so we decided to split a dozen charbroiled oysters. The oysters were delicious! I think I could've eaten 2 dozen by myself! For my entrée, I ordered the Grilled Shrimp Pasta with Creole sauce. The pasta was good, but not great. The shrimp were delicious, but the sauce was mediocre. My friend got a lobster cream sauce with her entree, and I put some on my pasta, and that was very good. The shrimp pasta was just shrimp, pasta, and the sauce. I'm curious how the Alfredo sauce would've been. I would return and try some other dishes, but will DEFINITELY get the charbroiled oysters if I come again.

Started with Chargrilled Oysters which were pretty good, however some of the cut up pieces of roll were stale. Then ordered Shuckee Duckee which is an apparent original dish there. This dish is supposed to have a "twice-fried Duck Leg quarter" in paste with Oysterz, well I don't order fried food often, however the Duck Leg did not appear in the least to be Twice Fried as it was not crisp at all, seemed Flash Fried. I tried asking the server and he just said it was fried, did not offer to remake it or call a manager. The Duck was not bad, however not as described or expected. The inside of the place was ok for a Hotel Lobby restaurant
