First time @Parish NW. Let's start with cocktails...my husband ordered the Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita and I ordered the Fleur de Lune. We both enjoyed our respective cocktails - one very heavy on jalapeno and the other not too sweet. We agreed the cocktails were one-and-done. We enjoyed the deviled egg appetizer - each egg half included shrimp and a crunchy piece of pork rind - different but tasty. For entrees: Chicken & Sausage Gumbo and a Gulf Prawn Po'boy. The Gumbo was excellent but my husband said it could have used a bit more andouille. I kind of wish I had ordered the oyster Po'boy - the prawns were deep fried and I felt they were overdone. It is a very large sandwich and I brought half of it home. Served with sliced tomato, lettuce, & pickled jalapeno. Just the right amount of spice but would have benefitted from more mayo - the breading on the prawns made the sandwich a bit dry. All in all, I am anxious for a bowl of Gumbo at our next visit. Ambiance: It was a very warm evening so we opted for seating on the back patio. Perfect!! It was larger than anticipated and very welcoming. Loved it!

Always a great meal. The food is delicious. I had the catfish po boy this time and it was great. My friend and I sat in the back courtyard. It was pretty loud only because there was a band playing during the annual Seafood Fest in the neighborhood. Normally, it's never loud. Had a great time as usual. Wish the alligator appetizer was back on the menu though.

We had two appetizers and an entree, and indicated the appetizers should come out first & we would share the entree. The food didn’t come out as requested. And there were long gaps in when the server came by. The pimento cheese spread didn’t have a lot of cheese in it and was fairly sweet, but the pork chop was fantastic! Would definitely recommend.

Always a beautiful patio dining experience in summer! Even with the heat wave. I needed something to satisfy my southern roots. I ordered a salad to balance my comfort food. The comfort food was good the salad heavy on the pecans making it difficult to eat and for some reason off on flavor. The cocktail was superb. Overall a very nice experience on the patio.

Wonderful food- etouffee with shrimp, fried catfish, half a fried chicken was really juicy. Fermented habinero salsa was bomb! Fun place to spend some time at having great food.

Great! What a great spot! Food was excellent. As was the service. It’s a bit pricey for the ambiance but still worth it.

It was mother's day so everything took time. The service was good and the food excellent. The Kitchen was backed up so being seated outside we enjoyed a leisurely meal and watched the parade of people at the Ballard farmers market
