| - A star for the cute name.
A star for the cozy, funky atmosphere.
A star for the friendly service.
And one for the food.
Overall, a great place!
My husband and I came to Chez Monieux last week. When we arrived there were a few other tables occupied, but we were told to grab a seat whereever we wanted.
For appetizers, I ordered the jalepeno hush puppies and my husband ordered the boudin balls.
It took a while for them to arrive, but when they did, they were tasty - though I'm sure they weren't healthy!
Our entrees were the vegan gumbo (for me) and the seafood gumbo (for him). My vegan dish came with a really yummy side of potato salad, too. Our dishes were well made and tasty. I was a little disappointed that, unlike the menu said, there wasn't any okra or seitan-sausage in mine, just the fake chicken. But it still tasted good.
As soon as our food came out, the chef came to our table and apologized, profusely, for the wait. We hadn't really thought much of it, as we were enjoying our conversation, but I thought it was really nice of him to come and apologize!
For dessert, we split a caramel-lava cake, which was delicious.
And our whole bill, including a beer and a coke, only came to $32!We'll definitely come back, hopefully when I can try the fried green tomato po' boy!
