Food scene
Hands down, this is our favorite restaurant in the city. Reservations are required in advance and they do fill up. Large bar area that is usually full by 5 pm. Seafood is their specialty but they do everything so well. We are in love with the steak tartar and Gulf fish dip. All of the entrees are amazing and we have never left this place disappointed.

Emily's favorite restaurant in the city. Fresh, Middle-eastern cuisine located in the Bayou St. John area. No reservations required. Quaint, small space so seating is limited and a wait may be necessary if you arrive past 7 pm. Have to wait? Head next door to Swirl Wines and sip on a glass of Vino until your table is called.

A favorite local hangout for good reason. Irish pub that serves traditional pub food like fish and chips but also has some of the best wings (ask for them MoPho style) and BBQ brisket you'll find in the city.
