The Boil Program
Crawfish, Gulf shrimp and blue crab dropped to order, seasoned in three registers — mild, Creole, and the fire.
A New Orleans table, by way of the islands & the Gulf.

Big flavor, low light, and a band that never stops.
Mirliton is a Creole supper club on the edge of the James — dark roux, Gulf seafood and char-kissed oysters served in a candlelit room where the brass starts early and the table stays long. Come hungry, stay late, leave loud.
