Twenty years in downtown Lake Charles
Chef Benny Gray built this kitchen from the ground up, and the team here still treats every table like a guest in their home.
What our guests are saying
This establishment was truly exceptional. The ambiance is quiet and understated, making it an ideal setting for a date night. The cuisine was delightful and our waitress, Michelle, provided outstanding service.

Wow, not only did I get a chance to tour the restaurant, but was able to talk to the executive chef. The food is out of this world. Try the crab cakes, they are out of this world. I tried the shaved ribeye sandwich with sweet potato Fry's, what a treat. Service was 5 out of 5. Ask for Amy!
Gerrit Lawrence
I came here for the first time to celebrate my birthday. I loved the food, service, and experience. Ask for Christian, he's amazing.
