I use a wheelchair and we always sit at the chef's table - a comfortable and engaging place for me. And, everyone speaks directly to me (something that doesn't always happen at other places, with using a wheelchair). Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is really cool - historic and cozy. And did I mention the food is AMAZING??

We started with cocktails and a selection of oysters from the West Coast, Texas, and the East Coast, each one distinct and delicious with classic accompaniments. In addition we had the roasted beet salad, as well as the octopus salad. Phenomenal! Highlights included razor clams with chorizo, outstanding sea trout ribs, perfectly cooked steak frites, Ossetra caviar, and a rich, satisfying fisherman's stew. Food: 9/10. Service: 9/10. Ambiance: 9/10 The chef's counter made the experience especially engaging. Highly recommended.

We discovered Bossladys last year (2024), and it's going to be our special occasion restaurant, AND…read moreour no occasion needed restaurant. We love to slow down, enjoy the atmosphere and each other's company. We love that it doesn't echo, voices aren't carrying, and we can hold a conversation with each other while great music plays in the background. It's a small business, black owned, family owned (BossLady!!), and family working on site. I find being flexible and enjoying the amazzzzzing shrimp is worth it. Next time, they'll have what you think you need, or you'll find a new favorite. Restaurant Week is tough on small business participants, especially with the RW parameters and requirements, but we remained flexible and found a new favorite. It looked like many new customers were really excited to be there, and it's about the busiest I've seen it when we have been in. We dined during Restaurant Week, and ordered the Burnt Ends and Garlic Butter Shrimp. The Burnt Ends were SOOOO tender, and the flavor of the meat really shined, especially for a restaurant that specializes in seafood. Mac and Cheese is always good! But the garlic butter shrimp......I could eat that all day. The cheesesticks were delicious and the lemon cake dessert! We've also had the BOSS item on the menu, perfect fried shrimp, perfect air fried real potato fries, lemon pepper shrimp, corn on the cob, and we love them all, no complaints! Have patience, give Grace. The young people are very nice, quiet and kind. We've met at least 3 of the family who work in the front. They are really sweet and trying to do their best for you. I'm so glad to see them there!! These are the kind of businesses that I like to support and I think others should, too. Are you getting the best seafood in the city, the metro, and for hundreds of miles any direction? YES, you are. Are some young people working their family's hard fought business instead of doing what most people assume young people are doing?? YES. Owners that LOVE what they do....making people happy with their food, while doing what they love? YES! Those are the things that matter, and this restaurant deserves to be famous for the seafood, based on taste alone. And the young people will grow up, and they'll be better for having worked in the family business. Let's SUPPORT ownership, family employees and think beyond our tiny box.

We were greeted with a quick hello and seated on what seemed to be the "second" floor-- though the space is bigger than before, there seemed to be a disconnect from our first lively and packed experience. The menu is still extensive, do wish our server had offered some suggestions or house favorites. The kids menu is adequate, but ordered a burger from the regular menu. The Our ticket was delivered shortly after some of our food order was out and to-go boxes were offered-- this felt rushed and transactional. As for the food, the Jambalaya had a satisfactory amount of protein, veggies, rice and seasoning. On the other hand, the Seafood Sauté was more like soup and overly salty. We do appreciate that our requests with the Boudreaux Burger were made and our kids enjoyed it.

The lady didn't smile once the entire time I sat there. Once I got my check I sat and waited. And waited. And waited for her to pick up my card. After 20 minutes I finally asked if I could please pay my check - and noted that it had been 20 minutes. She scoffed and said "I'm kinda BUSY, if you didn't notice." The people sitting next to me were a little taken aback. At any rate, a smile goes a long way toward making people more patient. But she was too busy for that, too, I guess. While I was waiting I saw two separate tables get up and leave without placing an order because she hadn't stopped by. The food was good. The service was atrocious.
