New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc showcases everything fresh and vibrant about Marlborough. Initially, the classic Awatere aromas jump out of the glass, such as lemongrass, jalapeo peppers and fresh herbs. The cool climate in the Awatere Valley is influenced by Mt Tapuae-o-uenuku and the cool alpine winds and fresh sea breezes protect the natural acidity in this wine. In contrast, the Wairau Valley has warmer summer months, with dry nor-westerly winds influencing vineyards to produce a pungent Sauvig

Family owned restaurant specializes in Cajun cuisine.Nawlins style decor enhances the dining experience.Emily was our waitress and her attention to our every need was outstanding,Great bar and the coldest beer on tap.Appetizer choices are plentiful.The seafood fondue is a must.Fresh oysters and boiled peel and eat shrimp is a good start.Two gumbos- seafood and chicken and sausage.Anything fried is delicious.In season, try the crawfish it's mouth watering good.Try the crab cakes tooHalf crawfish tails and half crawfish etouffee was an awesome plate.Save room for the house prepared key lime pie dessert.Lower Greenville Ave has enjoyed this location for 30 plus years Once you visit you will see why it has stood the test of time.

just moved around these parts so I came here to try out a neighborhood spot and get some crawfish. I'd go again IF I was super hungry, it was just OK.also had gumbo (not pictured). for some reason it had a sour kind of taste -- like it had line in it.

Do yourself a favor & Don't waste your time or your money! The first time I tried this restaurant was maybe back in 2018/2019 & I remember feeling like I had a positive experience, specially because of my excitement for what seemed to be a decent option to finding something close to authentic New Orleans food. Being a NOLA native myself, I always said that I would definitely be back to visit this place and was so excited to one day introduce this place to others. Fast forward, I finally decided to re-visit this place again years later, & I even brought some of my favorite New Orleans natives with me because I was really expecting the same great experience from before. To my surprise, our experience was completely different than what I had previously experienced and unfortunately for me I had overhyped the experience for my guest. This place was extremely disappointing for everyone in my party. We went on a Sunday, which is a busy day for that area. We thought the restaurant was packed because of the full parking lot, however everyone must've been elsewhere as it was pretty dead inside the restaurant. We were advised to seat ourselves, which we did. The restaurant itself is dingy & and we immediately noticed the saucers and silverware weren't clean. But even still, everyone knows sometimes the best restaurants are the holes in the walls, so we decided to stay. The food is not good, at all. Two of us ordered roast beef po-boy sandwiches that came with a side of fries and onion rings, fully dressed. First of all, they used sliced roast beef deli meat, and instead of an au jus sauce, they provided a thick brown sauce that they referred to as gravy. If you've ever had an authentic roast beef po-boy, you'll understand why this is a big No No. They probably need to rename it as a "roast beef sandwich" on the menu because it's definitely not a po-boy. The worst part was that myself and my other guest who ordered the same dish both fell ill with food poisoning later that evening and two days later, we are still trying to recover!My other guest ordered the catfish with red beans, and advised their fish was severely under-seasoned, but mediocre at best. Their side of red beans was supposed to include smoked sausage and they never found not even one piece of meat. They also fell ill immediately after leaving the restaurant. To put the icing on the cake, this establishment has an additional service charge if you wish pay with a card, as cash is preferred. So for all 3 meals with the tip, everything came to $94. To avoid the additional service fee I paid in cash, & it was directly handed to the waitress. However, for some reason on the way out of the door we were flagged down by the owner/manager and questioned about paying the tab before leaving, as it was apparently still showing open on her end. Had we been of a different ethnicity, this question probably wouldn't have been asked. It would've been much more professional, had the owner/manager checked with the waitress before hounding us down on the way out of the door. Overall, our experience was horrible, and we will never return to or recommend this place to anyone else ever again. Being a native of New Orleans, this place is not representative of authentic New Orleans food.

first of all, our server, Emily was absolutely wonderful. She was so patient as hubby made up his mind. I had fried oysters, which were absolutely perfect, correct size, perfect breading, hot, and crisp. hubby had the fried catfish and fried shrimp combo. More food than one person needs to eat. I didn't care for the coleslaw, it was way way too spicy. But as far everything else is concerned , this is my go to place for fried oysters.

1) Boiled Crawfish looked a promising bright red. Pull the tail from the body. Shuck the shell of the tail off to get to the fibrous meat flavoured with piquant, aromatic Cajun-Créole boil mix. A section of corn on the cob & red new potatoes as accompaniments. I like eating the yellowish-brown "butter" from the head, but found it for the most part tasted stale. Perhaps the crawfish was frozen which is detrimental to the delicate crawfish butter. Or the Boiled Crawfish had been cooked earlier and had been reheated hours if not a day later which allows the butter to lose its freshness. Anyway, it didn't have the superior flavour of what can be found in New Orleans or West Feliciana Parish. 2) 1/2 Crawfish Étouffée , 1/2 Fried Crawfish: Excellent, fried, sweet, fibrous crawfish tails covered with what may be corn starch created an Italian fritti like lightness & subtle crispiness. French fries were equally well finished. Must eat them soon to retain that exemplary just fried liveliness. Étouffée sauce has a buttery, golden reddish, brown tone. Smoothness comes from the toasted, brown roux. May be red mostly from tomato sauce. Just a touch of Cajun-Créole spice blend. If there were any Cajun-Créole Mirepoix of onions, celery, bell pepper, it was finely food processed. Soupçon of chicken broth to round out and give Umami to the thickened sauce. This version has flavours which are understated & subtle, but can be considered bland by some. Rice acts as a barrier between the fried items from the Étouffée sauce. Small, toasted white french bread to sop up the sauce. The Cole Slaw was sweetened vinegar based with pronounced herbal french thyme, mixture of cabbage and what may be red bell pepper which was supposed to be a palate cleanser between bites of the Étouffée. Problem was its extreme, hyper saltiness which negated its role in refreshing the palate. 1-2a) Abita Purple Haze Lager Raspberry Lager was thirst quenching and had a light fruitiness which was especially appropriate for some of the saltiness that was encountered. Service here is perfunctory. Not unfriendly, but disinterested. Passing the time and doing just enough to get by. There wasn't any "Laissez les bons temps rouler." joie de vivre at Charlie's Créole Kitchen. The food has its ups and downs. 3- stars for mediocre food & service.

Fun neighborhood place with awesome Cajun food!! We tried the blackened salmon, etouffe/fried crawfish, and the "Homicide Detective" pasta. Everything was wonderful! Hot, fresh and served super quick by our friendly waitress. We ate so much we couldn't finish everything! Soooo good!

Start with we are very picky seafood family - overall average spot; but we realize a major neighborhood FAV for many and do not discount that - parking is great - front and back of restaurant. Lunch service was very nice - quick and attentive. We had appetizers that were ok; nothing got us excited so the fish did have fat on it which many places do - we just like it taken off and we understand it's not easy job - just had to take it off ourself. Crawfish dish was very strong fish smell - taste - cream base was good but passed to another family member to eat just too strong for overall taste. Prices are high but they do offer some lunch specials - looking around we thought should have ordered the poor boy sandwiches possibly might have been a better choice. Just not for us.

Anyone who doesn't love this place is crazy. The ambiance is casual and relaxed. I saw notes about service, but we experienced the polar opposite. We never went a few minutes without someone checking on us. It was a team effort. We had the seafood fondue, which was AMAZING. The reason I picked this place was the crawfish monica... we have tried it multiple places and never loved it like we had in NOLA. But when they say better than jazz fest, at least I know they know why I love it. And it was delicious. We also had the shrimp po boy... the bread was amazing. I could have taken more sauce but it was great. We also did the fried catfish, shrimp and crawfish platter. Everything was perfectly cooked. Go. Run. Its a great place.

Soooo delicious! Wish there was better parking. But the food is worth it. The seafood pasta is enough for 2, I always have leftovers! It has broccoli, zucchini, & squash. The catfish is seasoned very well. The Cajun fries were better than I thought they would be
