Gift Tips
- Try the bread service if you want a strong start, especially the biscuits and sweet potato bread that pair well with the house butter and spreads.
- Order the beignets before you leave; they are a popular finish and work well after a savory meal or cocktails.
- If you are there for brunch, the Banana Foster French toast and catfish and grits are standout picks that make the morning meal feel special.
- Seafood fans should look at the oysters, crab cake, and blackened catfish, which seem to be reliable choices across the menu.
- Ask for recommendations from servers like Manny, Marvin, Sam, or Jeffrey, who are often noted for helpful suggestions and good timing.
- Try brunch on Sundays if live jazz and a lively daytime scene sound appealing.
- Ask about the happy hour window for smaller bites and cocktails, especially if you plan to start at the bar.
