It’s a bummer I can’t rate this place a 5 star. The food was delicious. The server was attentive and courteous. However the check in process was ridiculously slow. Waited about 10 minutes to actually check in with the hostess. There was maybe 4-5 people ahead of us. Stood there assuming we would get seated fairly quick as we had the reservation 5:45 and didn’t get seated until almost 30 minutes later.
Always good!¡ I give it a 4.5. Our reservation for 6 people, was for 6p. The hostess said it was put in for 6:15p. 6:30p rolled in and still not seated. We asked about the Outdoor Seating as no one was seated out there yet. And that's where we chose. The heater worked Amazing!¡ As for the menu, good selection. The Redfish was melt in your mouth, Amazing!¡ As was everything else we ordered. I'd love to see them bring back more Options for the Gator, I'd give it a 5!¡ I get the new thing is to spice things up or modernized the way things are prepared ie the Flavors. But, not everyone is big on HoT things like Tabasco. How about something like a Gator Tail, with slices into it on top with some Ranch with diced Chives. Or a PeachGlaze drizzled over the top. The possibilities with Gator, is endless.
I had a reservation for 6:30 PM so I and my wife arrived 15 minutes early to check in. One of the hostesses outside asked if I had a reservation, I answered yes, and then told me to speak to the hostess inside. I then spoke to that hostess and she seemed frustrated that the hostess outside had sent me in because they were behind schedule. They checked me in and then asked that I wait outside. I waited an additional 15 minutes to be seated, not a big deal as it was Valentines Day so I expected it to be busy. The atmosphere was fine overall and the servers were lovely. We ordered a few drinks which arrived relatively promptly and the crab and spinach dip to start. The crab and spinach dip was delicious and the drinks were good! We then ordered the Mardi Gras Pasta and the Shrimp Etoufe with dirty rice instead of the white rice it typically comes with. The food did take some time to come out but, again, not bad for a holiday. Unfortunately the pasta was bland, the andoullie sausage and the shrimp came very overcooked and the sauce was extremely thin. The shrimp for my etoufe was also very overcooked and there was a hard seed like thing in my dirty rice. My wife did not finish her pasta and we did not care to take home the leftovers. I am also currently suffering from food related stomach distress if you catch my meaning. Very disappointed with the experience for the money paid.

Went here for late anniversary and early Valentines day dinner. We were seated in Ashley section she was absolutely amazing . The appetizer were amazing, Than dinner came my boyfriend order blackened catfish with red beans and rice. Comes out looks amazing takes first bite ok second bite raw fish I mean completely raw, we call the Ashley, she is very embarrassed turns red and ran for a manager than enters Brandon apologize offers to recook the order or get you something different. So he orders steak and lobster, Brandon the kitchen manager is going to personal cook your food. After a wait the steak and lobster was delivered. The lobster didn't look right to me but hoping for the best the tail piece was ok , but when he got to the claws guess what the were half raw are you serious. Ashely guesss what I thought she was going to faint she was speechless. Of course they comped our meal and yes we tipped Ashley 25% what our bill would have been But come on 2 times. Ruin our first date night in 3 months.

Went with my wife for her birthday on a Thursday night and got seated within 20 minutes. Then waited an hour and 20 minutes before the manager came over and apologized that they got busier than they could handle and he would try to get our food out asap and said he would make up for it and comp some of the bill for the wait. At that point we realized the table next to us, that was just seated, got bread and butter as a starter, which we hadn't received. We asked about it and it came about 15 minutes later, no apologies just delivered saying my manager said to bring this out now. The food came about 10 minutes after that. During the wait our waiter was not attentive at all, and never mentioned or apologize for the wait. He wasnt even the one that brought the bread or our food out. Waiting an hour and 45 minutes for our food with lackluster service was not what we expected going in. Giving two stars because they did comp 2 sides and gave us free dessert but by the time it came to dessert we were tired and just wanted to leave so we couldn't really enjoy it. Unfortunately it was a disappointing birthday dinner for my wife.
