This was our first time going here and we had a party of four. When we walked in there wasn't that many people in there yet it took a few minutes before anybody was able to sear us. The first impression of the place seems a little fancier than most restaurants, but not anything extravagant. It was our first time here so after placing our order for our drinks, we requested more time to look at the menu. The waitress came back twice and we finally placed our order. There's a lot on the menu to choose from and it had the sink in a little bit as to exactly what I want. Most of us decided to go with the sushi varieties and my son ordered a cheeseburger. He likes a plain cheeseburger so it's not anything extravagant. The order took quite a while to come to the table and I imagine it was probably because of the sushi. I will say that it wasn't that bad and it was okay. The cheeseburger however, the bun was burnt and the meat itself was dry. Upon finishing my meal it took a while for anybody to come by and take our payment or give us the bill. The waitress came back I believe once to fill our drinks which is not quite enough service. The extremely long wait for a bill and the burnt cheeseburger is what made me decide. I will not be back. Also the cost was a little bit steep for the quality and the service was very poor. I'm not sure what people rave about when it comes to this place, but definitely to my experience it was very low on a scale of quality. If I were in Amite again and was looking to dine out. I would definitely make an effort to drive back to Hammond for a choice of dining. I think it's a shame that the place has some originality but yet it was very disappointing. It's got potential however the waitress that we had provided poor service, the wait time to be seated even though there was nobody in front of us and there was only a few tables occupied, combined with the price of the items would make me recommend anywhere but this place. This is an unbiased and honest review and it's not anything other. I've personally never heard of the place and it was other people who had told me of it. I'm not sure what they're used to but my experience was not a good one. I only took what was remaining home for the dogs. But I threw the bun away because it was definitely burnt. Black carbon that's actually a carcinogen when it gets to this point. My son actually ate half of it and normally he would eat the whole thing at other places. Anybody who has any food experience working in a kitchen should have seen that this was unacceptable. I want to say out of all fairness I really did enjoy the place. I think it's original and different. I think some things could have been improved, however it may have just been a bad day for someone. We're all humans and things happen. More than likely I'll try this place again.

The California rolls are always great. The blacken chicken breast sandwich was the best. I will always recommend The Boston to my friends andfamily read more The California rolls are always great.

I had the char-broiled oysters (they were ok at best) a Super Bad roll of sushi (very good), the Blackened Redfish with garlic fried potatoes (very delicious). The whole family was happy with their meals as well. Waitress was so nice friendly.
