  • Before I get into this review, let me preface that I will try this place again. I was hoping for a little more from my first experience here, but I must see if what I am looking for actually exists here. First off, let me compliment a big thing: The outside of the building looks great. It looks like something out of New Orleans, even if it is a standalone building. I've found architecture in Vegas to generally be incredibly boring, unless it's on the Strip or in a residential area before the 1990's. Thank you for actually trying to BE something instead of the bland store front. I've been wanting to try the place for weeks, as I am well-versed in Cajun food from my Grandmother, my numerous visits to the French Quarter, and my own cooking experience in a restaurant. So I know what the food is supposed to taste like. But the food here was bland. Semi spicy, yet bland, and I've no idea how they managed to pull that off, seeing that it's such a contradiction in terms. We ordered the alligator tail for an appetizer, and I had to try their gumbo. The alligator was decent enough overall, but the gumbo was missing... something. It drove me crazy trying to figure out what it was, even to the point of thinking about it on the drive home, before I went to bed, and when I got up the next morning. I had actually brought some home, and I still tried to figure it out, to no avail. It was mildly spicy, but didn't have that rich roux flavor. The service was fine and the atmosphere was fine, so I had no complaints with either. I was concerned that I was a little underdressed, but viewing the table next to me put those concerns at ease. Tricia put it best: They need someone who better understands the food, as Cajun is a very different beast that either people love or simply don't get. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't "bonafide", either. They definitely need a more robust roux, one that makes the sweat stand out on your face and your nose sniffling a little. Anyone who has attempted Cajun cooking knows that outside "The Trinity", the roux has to represent as well. I will go back. I want to like them, and perhaps I simply haven't found the right food combination there.
