Description

Great for groups and couples! An Intimate Experience in the French Quarter, we are famous for our Shrimp Boils. Step away from the tourist crowds and join us for authentic local dishes and stories. Enjoy this opportunity to experience it as a VIP, with a small group and Mister Gregory himself preparing your meal. The 7 PM seating features a multi-course dinner, storytelling and LIVE MUSIC. Or choose the 12:30 PM lunch seating which includes a tasting menu and storytelling with Mister Gregory about our fishery and food ways (NO LIVE MUSIC AT THE LUNCH SEATING). The Shrimp Boil Experience might begin with a tasting of fresh caught fish from Lake Pontchartrain or a local blue crab appetizer, then an alligator sausage tasting and a presentation about our wild-caught Gulf shrimp. The big moment is when we present the shrimp, cooked with corn and local sausage, and our special blend of Cajun boil seasonings. Later, we bring out hot towels to clean up and to finish we present a signature dessert and a tasting of New Orleans style chicory cafe au lait. At the 7 PM seating we present a live performance from the Jazz and Blues, Burlesque, and Cabaret clubs of the French Quarter to entertain you. At the lunch seating we don't offer live music but we do talk about our local food traditions! Please join us for a lovely meal, make some new friends and eat the very best shrimp in the world!
