    The food tasted great. I found reviews online and choose this place. The uber driver told me I made the right choice while driving me there. I got there, the staff were so nice, the gumbo was delicious. It was my first time having oysters like this and it was great. It’s a good place to start when it comes to restaurants in the area.

    Awesome Aarya for dining out. This is a great location. And great atmosphere. We were seated quickly. Had a great server. One thing I noticed. All the servers were hustling maybe it’s because I was near the kitchen I noticed. Seem like a good place for young people to work. Food was delicious. We got the shebang. And shared the meal. Green beans were cooked perfectly. All the fried food was so delicious. We didn’t even need to ask for tartar or cocktail sauce.

    I absolutely loved my first time here. It was pretty crowded but I now understand why. I tried a few dishes and they were all amazing. The hen and the dirty rice were delicious. The fried fish and the salmon were excellent choices as well. Definitely will return again soon.

    Parrain Seafood Restaurant was a nice spot to eat. The vibe was chill, and we got seated pretty quickly. We started off with some drinks and the boudin egg rolls, those were actually really good and definitely something I’d tell people to try. For the main dishes, we got “The Whole Shebang,” which came with stuffed shrimp, shrimp, catfish, and gumbo. Super tasty and a good mix of everything. We also tried the BBQ shrimp platter with a salad. The only thing I didn’t love was the salad having a little too much dressing, but other than that, the meal was solid. Overall, good food, good atmosphere, and worth checking out if you’re in the mood for some seafood.

    The food was amazing. The atmosphere was rich and the air was pungent with many different smells from the food but it didn’t bother me too much. The blueberry cheesecake was fluffy. The chocolate cake texture was rich yet light. It was a little loud in volume so maybe some textile on the walls would help that. It was a lot of fun.
