Very well planned Creole and Cajun menu. Excellent assortment for everyone. Only comment, portion sizes are huge. Might be worth splitting a plate. The catfish Decatur had the best jambalaya I've ever had.

We had an excellent lunch at Seawitch. Chef Josh greeted us at the door and introduced us to his menu. The charbroiled oyster were excellent as was the oyster shooter. Gumbo is very good as is the shrimp po boy . Great wine list and really good bloody mary made for a great start to our time in NOLA.

The meal and the experience was outstanding and would recommend to anyone looking for an excellent southern Cajun meal. Additionally, our server, Raven, was professional, knowledgeable, experienced and so personal it truly made the dinner remarkable.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The only issue I had was parking and the line. We ended up parking on some side street walking distance from the restaurant. This normally wouldn’t be an issue but it was raining real heavy that day. Also, I will give credit to the security who checked us in and ensured our reservations were honored. I can only imagine the headache it would’ve been had we not gotten reserved seating.

The daube, & the duck, the dirty rice & crispy pork, it all felt like a lil thanksgiving, but 5 times better than ya momma's, and no one was yelling about carving the turkey. Service was as impeccable as the post-meal fernet (served "up"). If this place isn't on your list you are missing out.
