Nice view over river. The food was not true Cajun. The gator strips were rubbery and tasteless. Only help there was the sauces they served along side. Our entree of grilled chicken over a potato and ham hash was very salty and the chicken appeared to be nuked to intense dryness. More

Dining on the river is always fun and not too hot this time of year. We had boiled crawfish. The crawfish were not large but the staff were kind enough to prepare a special two pounds without the seasoning.
