I was recommended this spot for a Saturday brunch. l was glad I followed up on the recommendation as it was excellent. The food was hot, fresh and tasty. My Contraband Benedict was full of flavours and a great portion size. My wife had the Breakfast Bowl and she said it hit the spot. Morgan our server was pleasant and very helpful. There was also plenty of interesting art work on the walls for sale. A good place to dine in downtown Lake Charles.

Everything we ordered was delicious!! We got tuna, Reuben, and pasta! I’d recommend the tuna out of the 3! Perfectly cooked, crisp outer layer and cool center. Great job to the chef 👩🏻‍🍳. Intimate yet chill vibe , also have patio dining. I’m not sure if we came at the rt time or what, but the food came out verrry fast ! 7 min max, fresh and hot. Yum 🤤 would definitely return

Went for a father & son breakfast and was not disappointed. I got the Monte Cristo with a side of bacon, which was great. My son tried shrimp and grits for the first time and he loved it. Of course we had to get some beignets to top it all off. The environment was pretty cool and relaxed when we went. They also have a covered outside area to eat if you'd like with a New Orleans style aesthetic.
