I bought a Travelzoo coupon where for $49 you got any 2 appetizers (up to $16 each), 2 entrees (up to $26 each) and 2 alcoholic beverages (up to $13 each). Basically you could get anything on the menu so obviously went with the highest priced items. I was going to save this for one weekend during the NFL playoffs but the fridge was empty and it was Falcons vs Lions on Saturday so what the heck. There were plenty of TV's and a decent place to see a game.
First appetizer was the buffalo shrimp consisting of 4 breaded and fried pieces of shrimp with a good kick. My wife loved this and I know we'll be back just for this dish. I also got the cheesesteak egg rolls after inhaling multiple pieces of these after Misti's CMYE: Bodies event. They were outstanding and as good as I remember although $3 a piece seemed kind of high.
Filet mignon sliders ($25) were really good. We both expected just "ground filet mignon" but those babies were just straight pieces of tender, juicy filet nestled in between some tasty buns. I was surprised how good the steak was for being much smaller than your average filet.
Last and definitely least was the "French Quarter Jambalaya". It was a boring sauce with dry chicken breast with the shrimp being the highlight. I think a real Cajun/Creole place serving jambalaya would try this and break out in sheer laughter.
I got the Goose Island Nero Belgium Ale ($12) which had to be north of 9% because I was feeling it after one. My wife ordered the pomegranate martini ($13) which she said was fine.
We got a $100 dinner for $49 before gratuity and this was certainly not a dinner worth that price. I would stop by for happy hour and just do appetizers and drinks. Our server was very friendly and helpful.
