| - Husband and I went to RK for Sunday brunch today, with a Restaurant.com coupon for $25 if we spent $45, a decent enough discount, especially since it only cost me $3 for the coupon. The place is very large and attractive, but virtually empty at noon this Sunday. We were given the choice of the bar. dining room or upstairs and we initially chose upstairs, because there were more people up there which would possibly make it more fun. But upstairs they had a HUGE TV screen with a football game on and a few noisy men drinking beer and cheering on their team. Decided the dining room was more conducive to a nice Sunday brunch.
After looking at the fairly extensive menu of mostly cajun and creole selections, I chose French Toast with Bananas Foster, and my husband got shrimp creole. I also opted for the $18 all you can drink mimosas, and definitely got my moneys worth there! A side of potatoes came with my french toast (?) and while I didn't want them, my husband saId he would have them hash browned.
The food came on my third mimosa, and was very well presented. My french toast was just delicious, altho way more than I could eat. My husband said his shrimp creole was very good too. Not spicy hot, but well seasoned. I tried a bite of the hash browns and they were great. Very crispy and seasoned perfectly.
After my fifth mimosa, I asked them to please cut me off. That might sound like a lot, but even now a couple of hours later, I have only the slightest of buzzes, so not a lot of champagne was wasted on them. But they were still very good!
A few more people came in as we were eating, and a bridal shower party of about 10 young women came in as well. I was very surprised that there were so few people there with as good as the food was, at least what we tried.
Our bill before discount was $55 plus the fixed gratuity of 18%, and we ended up paying $39.55 after the coupon was deducted.
I would say that we will try the place again, probably with another coupon. It is on the other side of the world from where we live so not convenient to visit regularly. But we definitely enjoyed it!
