Raw Oysters

Did not try papa joes, how is it?

I think it's much better compared to Boss, Indian Pass being my favorite

Agree, Indian Pass is one of my favorites as well. Just wish it was not so far from SRB.

We have beautiful oysters at The Marigny. LA oysters, perfect size, plump, juicy and salty! And During Happy Hour (M-F 4p-7p) they are only $6.00 for a Dozen!!!

Thanks, Your on! Will be there before you know it. Love me some good fresh shucked oysters this time of year.

Well I'm sold on Marigny's Happy Hour Oysters. Had a few dozen yesterday and they were exactly as described and a great bang for your buck. I still like the old style oyster bar where they are shucked in front of you but the Marigny's oysters are at the top of my list for size, taste and freshness. I'll be back

sounds good. Went by several months ago service was so bad and they made me PAY for bread with my shrimp creole order. Seriously. Will go back and try the oyster at happy hour #fingerscrossed

You are right about the service. Tried not to put that in my comment but will follow through. Have only been there 3 times and the servers need some extra extra training. I would go more often if not for that.

just wondering if you are going to acknowledge either of the posts/emails we have sent you over the last year? I can publish them... before you sit in judgement of a place, you might try to be an accurate judge... I won't stand for this... I offered, ball is in your judgmental court. Let's speak facts...

That is why you will get the Hampton Inn, or chain restaurants... because ppl like Steel1man are A. without knowledge of owning a restaurant B. have NO actual culinary or legitimate roots in our fine state. C. want to give an uneducated opinion as a "local" when Ive actually lived here longer.... that is why businesses don't take roots here! Anytime steel1man wants to challenge us, we will gladly put him in his place..... Challenge offered!!! Until then, keep your opinion to yourself! I accept any challenge to this post, since we emailed you a YEAR ago, about your complaint! But you don't speak of that, do you!?!?!!?

WOW, this is why I haven't written much on SOWAL Dining Forum lately. If I have written anything I have kept it very generic. I have pondered and pondered on what my response would be to this and feel as though I must be honest.

We liked Chris very much when he was at Fire and tried to support his move to The Marigny. We consider ourselves locals as we have been here over 20 years and have been property owners for more than that. We too have been to The Marigny three times over the past year. On each occasion we left with our heads in amazement. This is not the food that we are use to having from Chris. Each visit the service was lacking and we said it will get better with time. Each time we visited there were very few people eating.....we must be dinning at off times, this must be a dinner place. And each time the food was disappointing. Yes, disappointing. I can describe each meal and they have spanned over 12 months, so they did make an impression. Now, this is my opinion and I am entitled to it.

I beg to differ on your comment "that is why businesses don't take roots here!" look at Bud and Alley's, Cafe Thirty A, Goatfeathers, Seagrove Village Market, to name a few. There are many more that have been here 10 years or longer and I believe they have all taken “roots”. These have survived the good and the bad times, as most of the locals have. Yes, there are other restaurants that come and go, some stay a bit longer, some try to expand beyond their capability and say goodbye, and then there are others that just fade away after 10 to 20 years in business....that is the restaurant business. It is a tough one. And down here in SOWAL restaurants must be at their tops providing A plus service, food, and attitude or they don't survive. As locals we even support those restaurants that have average food when the service is outstanding and they make you feel warm and fuzzy. It's just human nature.

Sad part is that after three visits I don’t even want to try The Marigny’s happy hour $6 oysters. I would rather drive 30 miles, pay a little more, have them shucked in front of me, and most of all feel warm and welcomed…..and eat 3 rolls of saltines if I want!

Iris, it's unfortunate that we haven't been able to satisfy you. We can't please everyone. At least we know that we please most, ie "Best of the Emerald Coast 2014", 30A.com "HotSpot", etc etc. If you came to The Marigny looking for food like FIRE, then you will be disappointed. Because we are NOT a casual fine dining restaurant. We are neighborhood PoBoy shop with from scratch home cooking and don't pretend to be anything more. We don't have that menu or that pricing. And my addressing steel1man is to note that we have reached out and try to make his ONLY visit better. Honestly, it was over free bread!? And a year ago when we first opened... And was an obvious mistake by a new staff! Really? But some people would rather just say negative things rather than help a fledgling local business get better. I think that is a shame. Which is why you will see more chains and such move in because they don't care as much about guests' experiences. And also... 3 times? 3 bad experiences? You love Chris' food? And not once have you mentioned anything to him? Or his partner? They are pretty easy to get, since they are there day and night... This is part of our point. It is for this reason that we stand by our post.

Restaurants here can get it right, in fact most do. The service can be spotty in some places, but there is a finite talent pool. In fact there are several places that people love because the service is better than the food. We are fortunate to have a lot of very good options in a small area. There are a few chains in Miramar because of the outlet mall and a few more in Grand Blvd. I dont think Chilappleback's will be opening on 30a anytime soon. I disagree with the comments that chains do not care about guest experience, in fact I would say more often than not, chains emphasize customer service more. I have been to The Marigny for a few beers and a Saints game, so I cant speak to the quality of table service. I like cajun and creole and will check it out though.

Thanks Carson. We look forward to it! And I understand your point, I was referring to some of the chains that just want turnstile type dining, in and out, in and out... Not neighborhood places like us, that actually remember your name, what you drink, those kind of things. There are plenty of great local restaurants here. We are friends with most of them and frequent their businesses. Thank you so much for bringing to light our biggest opportunity in this area... The labor pool! Not very deep, or qualified. It makes things extremely difficult at times, but we do what we can. We've been told that service can be a little slow at times, but most people agree the food is worth it. We appreciate the support, and will continue to grow and get better! Make sure you let us know when you come in. We would definitely like to introduce ourselves to you!

I have been trying to get to The Marigny, but after reading the disrespectful nasty postings by the restaurant I will be going elsewhere. Stop blaming your Sh*tty service on the labor pool, it's a cheap shot. Take responsibility and train your staff. It's your fault they aren't qualified because the restaurants with good service are hiring from the same labor pool as you. I get so damn tired of hearing excuses from restaurants for crappy service or food because they are new or just opened. Either get it together before you open or offer discounts until you do.

Thanks to everyone for their honest opinions. If a business does well they deserve praise if not, well-------

LOL - Best of EC is a ballot stuffing exercise usually. And I have yet to walk in to a business in SoWal that doesn't have one of those stupid hot spot logos on it. What a farce. (next thing you know they'll be branding our pets, trees and air :roll: ).

On point though, I have ate at Marigny a few times and found the food to be superb. Service was fine. I'll go back because the food is better NOLA cuisine than anywhere else. And big portions. I don't eat oysters though.

The food is really good so you should try it. I think they have a bit of NOLA attitude which I like. It's good enough to go back and they have regulars.

But it is the worst locartion in South Walton as far as being off the beaten path. Without social media and this site nobody would know about them. Still I doubt they have all the business they want. If I were in that spot I'd be going all out to get new customers. Really no room for error I'd guess.

Anybody seen the movie Chef?

I have had their food, twice in fact, just not at the restaurant and it was good. I will probably go in the future just not right now. steelman wasn't even being nasty or mean just honest. They had to go and be pricks about it and take cheap shots at him and the staff and then want to blame the community if they fail. Too many good eating establishments around here to put up with that crap.

poppy you should see the 7 paragraph RANT and Challenges someone name Jason
( part owner he said) PM me few days ago....one day I may publish it as an Open Message from management....

Marigny is a favorite place of a friend of mine. Consequently, every time he is in town we go there. I have never had a bad meal there nor poor service. Maybe I am not as discriminating as some are. In simple terms, I will be returning.

I can only imagine, after reading what he posted publicly I doubt anyone would be surprised. At least three people on here have stated the service sucked on more than one occasion. I didn't see any evidence of a conspiracy, just posters being honest. I also didn't like him telling you to keep your opinions to your self, ef that.

Or maybe it's because you're "better".

Nowhere in the posts or private messages have we been insulting or vulgar. However, we have been called names and insulted on this very post. We don't know if awards that we have been voted for are real or not. We just know someone liked us enough to vote. We don't blame the labor pool, but accept it as a fact in this area. Furthermore, we don't blame anyone for anything. We did our due diligence with steel1man, A YEAR AGO! He got charged for bread, by mistake. That was it! Not bad food or drinks, nothing, just overcharged for bread. And we emailed him and never got a response. Ok. It was over. For someone to post a negative comment about our place, again, a year later is just unfair and unnecessary. Especially when the offer had made publicly to make things right. We have pride in ourselves. So, why is it wrong to question someone's comment? And people have said they won't come now because we did? We are not obligated to stand by and get bashed for no reason. Too many restaurants just take it. We are not one of those. We work too hard to be non-responsive. Our intent is not to offend anyone, but instead question validity of unfair statements. We made a mistake. A year ago. Attempted to rectify the error to no avail. No need to beat that dead horse. Our parents taught us that "if you have nothing nice to say, maybe you should say nothing". That's all.

I received a nice private message from the Marigny about the service and it was very much appreciated. I'll try it again. Merry Christmas Marigny.
