Came here for dinner on a Saturday in December around 7.
I walked in same day earlier and made reservations since I was in the area for a tour.
It was not busy when I came with my small group of 3.
There was another group of 3 that was there already and another group of 3 came in after us.
There was one staff member that was doing everything (Maybe even some cooking) so service was a little slow, but he was really friendly and proactive.
We ordered a couple beers and water.
The beers are from Louisiana, which is cool.
For food, we ordered French Onion Soup, Blackened Alligator Sausage, Dark Roux Gumbo, and Dark Jambalaya.
The server brought small plates and bowls, knowing we would be sharing.
Everything was really delicious and had a little bit of spice.
There is hot sauce that you can add yourself if you want more spice.
My favorites were the French Onion Soup and the Dark Jambalaya.
We also got the dessert, which was a Bread Pudding.
That was really delicious too, and the warmth was nice for the cold December night.
The place can be had to find since it sits behind the Whaley House building.
It is small, having only 6 tables, so not ideal for large groups.
Checking in a little weird, checking in at their kitchen door.
There is a single bathroom in the place.
I would come back again if in the area.

Found this little gem when I was waiting for my tour at the Whaley House tour.
I only had the French Onion soup, but it was delicious.
It is perfect for a quiet romantic dinner away from the bustle of Old Town.

A hidden gem, we've been to Louisiana and have tasted authentic Creole food and this place replicates that exactly, the crawfish and gumbo are really good.
Set back off the road you be careful you don't walk past it.
