1. A place with good grilled/BBQ oysters.
2. Good place for music but not so loud to preclude conversation. If there is dancing or Zydeco all the better.
There is a place on Ambassador Caffery Pky called Phares, the grilled oysters are suppose to be really good there. A few miles down the road on Kaliste Saloom is a place called Randols...they have live Cajun/Zydeco music..also have seafood..not sure about the grilled oysters, though.

1. You have a couple of good choices for oysters.
Shucks it's in Abbeville, just an extra 20 minutes down the road (Take Johnston street south until you run out of road) but completely worth it. http://www.shucksrestaurant.com/ShucksMenu.pdf

Sounds like an Anniversary weekend.
Nope she's working and I'm tagging along to eat oysters & shrimp and drink beer.
Both Phares and Shucks are excellent for grilled oysters. Bit of trivia; the owner of Phares is the son of the founder of Shucks. He is also the son-in-law and brother-in-law of former Cajun footballers David Rogers and Baron Rogers.
