There was a short window there, though, when I'd say it was one of the 2-3 best restaurants within 30 miles or so of Baton Rouge, including everything in Baton Rouge.

I don't disagree with that quite some time ago. Place was packed much of the time in it's hay day.

I remember going the first time after it was sold and getting oysters rock there. The topping was some kind of really bad tasting spinach madeline mixture. I sent them back. The waitress told me their regular chef was away and the kitchen messed up. Very strange story. There was something else I had that same day which was bad. Can't recall what it was, though. Same story...chef was away.

They made some of the best crawfish bisque. I bought extra for the freezer when I went there. When they changed that, I nearly cried. At one time, they were serving some fine chargrilled oysters.
