This jazzy, upbeat River Oaks eatery fuses Gulf Coast seafood with Mexican, Italian and Creole culinary style.

In Short
Lucky is the diner who snags the gently cornmeal-fried soft-shell crabs when in season, or remembers the Tuesday and Thursday lunch special of shrimp and crab meat spaghetti. Oysters Damian with pico de gallo, crawfish ravioli, and blackened snapper in lime butter are outstanding. Thick and rich, mama's gumbo is vibrant as is the Mississippi farm-bred whole fried catfish. Try to save room for the varied desserts.
