We went to Santa Fe for brunch today. Absolutely wonderful!! All of our food was incredible! We will definitely go again, what a gem !

I used to come here for paella which was good. I once dropped in for a valentines date promising wonderful paella only to find out upon arrival that they decided to only serve it once a week. That is not in any way indicated on their menu. Luckily we were able to snag a seat at Lola's which is literally across the street with short notice for a wonderful paella which they make daily.So a couple of years go by and here I go - making the *same* mistake again. Lol I *completely* forgot the one day a week paella situation.Lol y'all - just take it off the menu. The kitchen clearly resents having to make it. Or indicate the one day you make it on the menu?But probably just take it off ??‍♂️.The server was polite and totally understanding, but I could *feel* the kitchen's distaste for the creation of the dish through their entire being.

One of my new favorite places to go on a Friday night. They always have music playing outside and they have a large outdoor seating area. Extensive menu with something for everyone. Delicious salads, steak, and seafood with an incredible and lively atmosphere in the Bayou St. John area. Can’t go wrong here.

Fantastic fare!!! I had the whole fried fish and left nothing but the bones! Also had the mussels for appetizer and they were a hit. Top shelf margaritas were great! Strongly recommend!

Delicious food and great service.

What delicious food, I recommend the Gipsy Fajitas!

Great food and very friendly service (a little on the slow side, but not too bad). They accommodated the needs of our large lunch group very well. I will definitely return the next time I am in town.

Excellent outdoor seating, margaritas, food & live music. Just wish the staff & servers had worn their masks. Covid numbers are at record highs, and we all need to take precautions.

I had the flounder, which I was surprised to find in New Orleans. It was cooked perfectly. It can with grilled vegetables, rice and a sauce. I wasn't to pleased with the sauce but that was just me. The food just didn't have enough flavor for me. Again, just personal choice because it was cooked perfectly. Unlike a lot of restaurants here that over cook fish. The atmosphere was great. There was a small band playing quietly. The staff was attentive and friendly.

The food here is delicious!! The beet salad is to die for with the goat cheese. I also got the chicken enchiladas. The bean dip is just queso and beans, but it’s the best thing you will ever eat! ? We come here every other year when we’re in town for Thanksgiving. I highly suggest!
