  Unbelievable marinated lump crab salad, and delicious, fat, sweet oysters shucked by shucking machine - and funny-as-hell- Isaiah. In the middle of St. Roch's Market, it was conveniently next to the bar! This place is amazing.

  This isn't a BBQ shrimp poboy. This has never been a New Orleans style Bbq shrimp sauce or set up. As a local, this is gross and misleading. The counter service is also always terrible. Who do you order from? Why is no one even attempting to work?
  
  I'm very aware what New Orleans style BBQ sauce is- I've lived in New Orleans my entire life. First of all it's brown, deep, thick, flavorful, rich and the shrimp are sautéed in the sauce. It's not drawing butter with garlic salt.

  I can confidently say that my experience here on Easter around 9pm was literally the worst customer service that I've ever received. The employee working the oyster bar was the rudest, most inconsiderate service person I've ever encountered, and I almost laughed at the tone with which he spoke because I thought he it was a joke--he was literally that unbelievably rude. So bad in fact, that I will actually go out of my way to tell friends who are coming to NoLa to avoid this spot.
  Such a bummer, too: 6 oysters for $6 was such a great deal--I'd rather 3 day old fast food, though, than to be spoken to so disrespectfully.
  Good riddance.

  Nice little restaurant in the French Quarter in the food hall. Decided to pop in and give them a try. Went with the crab cakes which were very fresh and tasty served over corn and potato hash. It was filing and satisfying. Nice open area with plenty of seating. New Orleans food is always seasoned and good.

  My friends and I walked to St Roch Market to grab brunch. Figured it would be good since everyone can get something different and to their liking.
  
  I was really craving a Lox Sandwich so I chose to Elysian and it was the worst decision ever. The sandwich was not good. First off everything was lacking inbetween the bun - minimal cream cheese and smoked salmon. Also the lox was bad... very fishy... the worst lox I've ever had. The best thing was the salad it came with. DO NOT GET.
  
  I also wanted to their BBQ Po Boy and that too was not good. There was minimal shrimp in the sandwich and flavors lacking. There was nothing BBQ about this po boy either.
  
  Also there was no one at the counter for like 15 minutes. We were confused as to if this place was open or not. We should have just picked different place instead of waiting for someone to come.
  
  A definite disappointment.
