| - I'm giving BSBR 3 stars but I'm floating between 2-4.
4 Stars for ambiance. Quite frankly this is a gorgeous space! It reminds me of NOLA and well, as I said, it is GORGEOUS. Music however, lame. I was there on a night without live music, and the canned music was boring and not in the spirit of NOLA. If you're going to have a NOLA-style restaurant, keep the theme going and hook me up with some sweet jazz, or something!
2 Stars for food. The Hush Puppies arrived quickly, but were not crispy on the outside, and were kind of bland. My friend got a salad with fried oysters on it, which looked delicious and she enjoyed it. My shrimp creole was, again, bland, and without life. I felt like I could have done something better at home. And quite frankly, I was hoping for a New Orleans style boil, and nothing like it on the menu.
4 Stars for drinks. The hurricane was not like the one I've had before, but my, oh, my this one will knock you on your feet and was wonderful!
I didn't have desert, but I'd be willing to go back to try that and hope for better success than the food.
Valet parking the night I went was $6 and you got a "free" car-wash when you picked up your car at the end of the evening.
Loads of sea-food on the menu, and not a ton of veg options, so beware if you're Vegan / Veg friendly.
Would I recommend BSBR? I can't say that I wouldn't, but I think there are some kinks that need worked out. I'd be willing to give it 1 more shot, but not more.... or, maybe just stick to the drinks.
