Hungry diners were treated to plenty of savory Southern delights, such as alligator bites, frog legs, po’ boys, Café du Monde beignets, and, naturally, plenty of succulent crawfish.

Executive Chef Thomas Schoborg was diligently spotted darting between the busy kitchen and the restaurant’s dining room and outside patio area; deftly mingling with guests while simultaneously managing the evening’s menu.
