"Discovered this gem a few years ago, and we love it. It’s great to be able to enjoy New Orleans staples in Sonoma county. There is usually a line, but it’s worth the wait. A bit on the expensive side, but easy to overlook when you consider the experience. We’ve never had a bad table, and the service is always top notch and friendly. Shrimp Po’ boys, gumbo, beignets … they offer many staples from the Big Easy. The one thing I wish they’d make is : etoufee,-It’s exclusion is my only disappointment, but I’ll live. Will come again and again"
