Description:

  • This Garden District restaurant takes their oysters so seriously that they close down when the little mollusks are not in season. This place is small and sparse, but the atmosphere benefits from good-natured waitresses who serve up fun with the food. The house specialty is scrubbed clean and well selected. Another delicacy is the oyster loaf, a big loaf of bread fried in butter and filled with oysters or shrimp and fried again to seal it. They also serve a gumbo that is quite possibly the best in town.
