| - This was our second second visit here.
On our first visit our party was two, this time three.
The booze
First we ordered cocktails.
I got the one of their "signature" drinks.
One hesitates to complain because, they are generous with the alcohol component in their drinks, but while creativity behind the bar is a welcome plus, creativity isn't necessarily meritorious in and of itself.
The name of my drink escapes me, but it had a branch of rosemary stuck in it as a flavor-infused swizzle stick along with cucumber and mint; rather than the symphony of flavors for which I'm certain they strove, it was more a cacophony of flavors.
Each flavor just strongly presented itself to the palate without due consideration to how it would taste with all of it's fellow components.
The resulting flavor fell somewhere between bad dollar store mouthwash and bad dollar store liquid cold medication.
Great if you're under the weather and have bad breath, not so much if you're not.
Of our other two diners, one enjoyed their signature drink, the other did not, (none were duplicates.)
The apps
We got an order of the Jalapeno hush-puppies and a bowl of the duck gumbo.
The puppies were rather standard fare, very dense, like their biscuits that seem to get acclaim from most diners. They also weren't discernibly (spicy) hot , but that might have been a function of the pepper, not the chef, but hey that's what the chef's taste-buds are for, aren't they ,(taste as your cook)?
The gumbo was perfect.
The duck was shredded, so I'm assuming dark meat was employed. Not greasy in the least, and the gumbo overall was perfectly seasoned, enough bite that one knew it as Cajun, but not so much that the essence of the non-seasoning components was lost on the diner.
The entrees
Having had the most perfectly cooked shrimp in a lifetime at my last visit vis a vis the shrimp and grits, my hand, I and the one of my companions who had tasted mine during our prior visit were forced and we both ordered it again on this occasion.
The other diner got a rib-eye steak which was accompanied by whipped butternut squash and green beans. Each item on her plate had a twist to it's preparation, and each was met with effusive praise by the diner.
The shrimp and grits was superior, but didn't quite reach the level of "exquisite" that served at our previous visit; hence the four star rating afforded at this visit.
