The redfish is amazing, the chicken salad is fantastic, Nina's chicken (grilled or fried) and veggies are delectable, the potatoes are ginormous and filled generously with your choice of topping. The BBQ potato is at least two meals and the one filled with crawfish sauce is just ridiculous! Definitely a favorite spot for an incredible meal anytime!

I wouldn't know because I didn't have room in my belly for anything else. We started with the crawfish bread. You would think it would get soggy from all that delicious creamy crawfish sauce.

I asked about the brand and they told me it was Douwe Eggberts. I found it on Amazon and bought some of it. I couldn't duplicate the aroma and flavor, though. Maybe I bought the wrong grind, or they have a version for commercial kitchens, or it's the water, or the coffee maker...who knows! Anyway, theirs was better than mine.

There were three of us, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we stayed until closing! We started with the Crab Beignets and the Bone Marrow Tartare. I had never tried bone marrow tartare before, but it was absolutely incredible. The combination of prime tenderloin tartare, bone marrow, garlic aioli, and chimichurri purée was unique and packed with flavor. For our entrees, we had the Lobster Pasta, Mushroom Pasta with Chicken, and the Power Bowl with Shrimp. Every dish was outstanding. The Power Bowl was especially flavorful, and I absolutely loved the sauce. The lobster pasta was rich and delicious, and the mushroom pasta was perfectly prepared. To finish, we shared the Brownie in a Cup, which was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Everything we ordered was amazing. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Unfortunately, we were there on a Saturday afternoon, so it wasn't all that romantic. We were literally the only table in the place. No one else. That tends to make me nervous, but we pursued. I ordered the charcuterie board, and Mike ordered the Chicken Focaccia sandwich. The food took A LONG TIME (like ~30 minutes) to get to us, especially considering we were the only ones there. Once the food arrived, however, I understood. They are making everything from scratch and to order. My charcuterie board had three amazing meats. The pork belly/bacon was still warm. The cheeses were equally as tasty, especially the truffle cheese. Mike's sandwich was super tasty and looked yummy. He said it was as good as it looked. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet. We're thinking about going back there tomorrow for Sunday brunch!

After viewing the lunch buffet we decided to give it a try to save time. It seemed today most of the customers were locals comprised of contractors and maybe plant workers, there was no doubt this place is a local favorite. After placing our drink orders we proceeded to the steam table and grabbed our plates, most of the food seemed fresh and definitely hot, the kitchen was in the process of refilling items as we served ourselves. Honestly there was nothing bad here but after trying a few bites I was reaching for the hot sauce to jazz things up a bit. I thought the prices were a little steep considering the portions we chose, if you're one that will make multiple trips to the food bar it's probably a good deal. We felt the food quality and preparation was just okay, it's likely we would not return or travel out of our way to dine here again.

We arrived just a couple minutes after their 11 a.m. opening, and the place was already packed, a good sign in itself. Luckily, with only three of us, the hostess got us seated at a table right away. The exterior isn't much to look at, but stepping inside tells a different story. The interior has a sports bar meets old school diner vibe, with decor that gives the whole place a nostalgic, lived-in charm. We all decided on the Darrell's Special sandwich with jalapeño mayo, and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was fantastic the whole meal, constantly checking in, keeping our drinks filled, and making sure we didn't need anything else. Despite how busy the place was, our sandwiches came out in a surprisingly short time. The sandwich itself is a beast! A toasted, loaded bun stacked with ham, turkey, and roast beef (which I hear is made in-house), all topped with roast beef gravy, American, Swiss, and provolone cheeses, lettuce, mustard, and your choice of regular or jalapeño mayonnaise, of course we had the Jalapeño Mayo. The first bite reminded me of a warm French dip, but that impression quickly gave way to layers of different meat flavors, rounded out by the subtle heat of the jalapeño mayo. It practically melted in my mouth. Honestly, I wanted to finish the whole thing, but I didn't want to need to be rolled out of the building, so I boxed up the second half and enjoyed it again for dinner. Great food, great service, and now I understand what all the buzz was about.

The cheese sticks were like mozzarella sticks basically not worth the order. Spinach and artichoke is the bomb. And some of the staff don't know they're right from their left. I guess it's a new hired staff, but most of all I love and enjoy the live music and seeing people laugh the bartender could've been better at greating the customers and for $45 I feel like Luna can do better.

We made reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival. Our server, Carson, did an amazing job. He was courteous, prompt, and attentive.

We ordered Shrimp Ya-Ya as an appetizer after being recommended by Carson, and it definitely didn't disappoint! So much flavor. Three of us ordered stuffed red snapper and loved it. Portion, presentation and flavor were superb! We each had different sides and loved them. The fourth guest in our party ordered a seafood platter and I was surprised to see a nice amount. The manager, Cole, was extremely friendly and even took the time to give us a little history of the restaurant. The dessert ordered for my sister-in-law's birthday was delicious-chocolate lava is a must! We ended the night purchasing some seasoning after enjoying the flavor of our food. We will definitely return!
