S & D Oyster Company

This New Orleans-style seafood restaurant is an institution. With its dining room inspired by the seaside cabanas of the southern United States, the place has been feeding the Uptown neighborhood since 1976. Waiters in bow ties and red and white aprons serve po'boys, grilled shrimp and okra. Of course, oysters are the specialty of the joint, and they are prepared steamed, raw, fried, grilled, etc. Put a dab of sauce on a freshly shucked oyster, place it on a cracker, and devour.
