| - Just had dinner here tonight and I need to write a review. So amazing. I'm so thankful for Yelp or else I would never have found this place. One of those hidden gems that you would never think to go to from seeing it on the outside. I've lived in Etobicoke all my life and although I have driven past this place so many times I had never even noticed it.
We came about 7:30 on a Thursday and it was pretty busy. I did make a reservation as people had mentioned in the reviews that it can get busy. It's a small little restaurant that is decorated in a very cosy way fitting with the New Orleans theme, burgundy walls, brass instruments hung on the walls.
The bread they bring out is warm and excellent but make sure you don't gorge yourself on it as the serving sizes are very generous here. We ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer (which many here recommended) and OMG. Super fresh, no fishy taste, absolutely delicious. Plated with a cute mini size salad wrapped in a cucumber slice. I probably could have ordered a whole meal of just crab cakes to be honest.
There were 3 of us, one of us ordered a rib eye seak and two of us decided to order the Jambalaya for 2. It does say on the menu that if you order the Jambalaya it will take 30 mins or so to prepare so just keep this in mind, if you are short on time you might want to order as soon as you get there or maybe even call ahead. OMG, they really should call it the Jambalaya for 3 because the serving size is HUGE (pic attached). It was probably our fault for eating alot of the delicious bread but we only were able to finish about 3/4ths and were incredibly full after. It was absolutely amazing. Crawfish, whitefish, sausage, free-range chicken, shrimps, mussels baked in stewed rice with cajun spices with fresh herbs on top. The whole thing tasted incredibly fresh. My dad had the steak which came with veggies and he said it was excellent as well. We were so full after we could barely move but we decided to share a key lime sorbet for dessert which had fresh berries and peppermint on top, which was the perfect palate cleanser for an amazing meal.
As others here have mentioned, what really sets this place apart is the impeccable level of service. There was 2 waiters, one of whom was one of the owners (his wife is the chef!) and he was just excellent. Although it was busy he made sure we were happy with our meals, cracked jokes and was just generally very kind. After our meal, he even brought us a complimentary shot of liquor! We were talking with him after and you can tell he is very passionate about his business. He said they are a pretty simple restaurant and they try to do what they do well, which I agree with. He said they have been in business for 19 years and most of their clientele is repeat customers. We will definitely be coming back in the future, this place is such a hidden gem!
