"The deviled egg appetizer was very very good. The chopped salad was good but was overly chopped for my personal preference. I had a yellow snapper dinner special - was OK, just OK. The fish was sautéed but with no real seasoning or flavor. The dinner special was over priced and was not a good value for what I received. The beignet dessert was very good. The table was in the main traffic lane right in front of the kitchen door, therefore, the ambience was not very good.
Bottom line: the food and service was good, not great and below expectation especially when compared to the total cost of the meal."
