The etouffee and fish & chips were great. Also had some alligator and jalapeno hush puppies that were very good. Crab cake was ok, but would probably not get it again. A little too dry. The service was great.

Food and service were phenomenal. We had gone to Fable and Fire to celebrate my birthday. The wait staff there sat us and then ignored us for over 5 minutes, not even bringing water. So we got up and left and spent our money at the superior establishment. I got the scallop risotto, and my husband got the king salmon. Both were delicious. We finished the meal with the banana bread pudding, and it was the best bread pudding I've ever had. We highly recommend this restaurant.

It was a nice place to pop into if you’re in the area. The service was friendly and quick. I went in the afternoon, a good crowd but not busy at the bar. I ordered to go. It’s kid friendly, good amount of seating, good parking lot .

I’ve had a hard time finding good food since moving to Texas. However, this place exceeded my expectations! The chicken kabob lunch special was so well seasoned and the spinach that came with the meal was such a nice portion! Gumbo was tasty as well! Customer service was also nice! I will be back!

My best invited me to this place & had to do this review being from NOLA & the menu was Cajun. So 1st: I had the Lobster Ravioli. For 30 u SHOULD get a tail on your plate. I believe I had 4 pieces, so I take it that’s a half of a tail, maybe. Room for improvement. It comes w/asparagus & ALL I seen was stems on my plate. See pic below. I DONT have a problem with vegetables, the raw the BETTER, but I think for that dish, the bell peppers SHOULD be Sauteed/grilled just a little. I prefer raw peppers on my salad instead, NOT in a pasta dish. Overall the waitress were VERY friendly. Clean environment w/a small bar w/many options & a covered patio. Kid friendly, Cajun, family oriented & GREAT spot for a dinner date.

This was a suggested place to get good seafood in Rockwall. The parking is plentiful right next to the building and a very nice rustic retro look inside and all around. The food was simply amazing for a moment You almost think you are at a coastal restaurant. The list of items that we tried was the amazing fried gator and fresh oysters on a half shell for appetizers. The winter margarita for drink. The entrees we had was huge kids meal for the child, a catfish basket, the tacos, coconut, chicken, and shrimp, a Brussel sprout and spinach salad we split, which was delicious and the Oscar style red snapper that was truly amazing with lump crab on top and asparagus the weight staff was on top of drinks and any needs. The weight staff was super friendly. I definitely wanna go back and try some different dishes. I highly recommend stopping in for a meal whether it be with the fam or to just sit at the bar for a drink and a snack. This place is definitely worth a stop in.

We found a nice little seafood restaurant. It doesn't seat a lot of people but it was perfect for our party of 7. God food. Great service. What more can you ask for? Fish was really good. Alligator bites are good as well. Don't forget dessert.
