Dining at the bar, as usual. Really like this place. Could be a good bar scene, great outdoor seating on patio, or a romantic dinner spot.

Thus far, Donati Claret and a small Chargrilled Oysters with Roasted Red Peppers.

Powerman, you didnt give that appetizer enough praise. It was divine. A ton of garlic, Im gonna have to chew peppermints all day - taking 3-4 showers..... But man, those puppies are fine. Ordered a small - was 8 shells, but likely 16 oysters in the dish.

Decided on 1 more app.... Venison Tar-Tar with a Juniper port reduction.

Will update.

Tryin to decide on Rack of Lamb, Osso Bucco, Apple Braised Pork Belly. Woulda been Swordfish from the seasonal menu, but they are out.

Venison Tar Tar was very good.... But I didnt give it its due, having just enjoyed the oysters and anxiously awaiting the Lamb.

Good flavor. Port frites had a lil too sweet for me demiglaze tho.

Yeah. I actually prefer them to drago's oysters. But I didn't want to get accused of flaming by the NOLA aristocrats.

Glad you enjoyed them.

FWIW Cristiano has a solid Sunday brunch if you ever happen to be in Houma on a Sunday afternoon.

Glad you're enjoying it...I'm certainly jealous.
