| - After a gluttonous weekend, we decided to walk to Boudreaux's for our Sunday morning recovery food. Well, most of us did, but we split up so that some of us took a car and put our name in. When we asked for 10, the hostess looked quite worried, even when we said we'd sit separately, and advised us to call ahead next time. Is this really a problem, when only three tables in the place have customers? But by the time we were seated and everyone got there, the restaurant was packed, and there was a line out the door! So take her advice: for large parties, call ahead.
I could really get to like this place, at least the bar. $2.50 Mimosas on Sundays! Woohoo! The server was very friendly, and took our orders for beverages, even though she couldn't legally serve us for 20 minutes. Sure enough, as soon as noon rolled around, we saw the bartender making our order. They were pretty good mimosas, especially for $2.50.
I was going to go with the Croissant Florentine (eggs Florentine on a croissant), but opted instead for the special omelet (shrimp, chevre, asparagus, spinach, tomatoes). I was glad that I'd avoided the Croissant Florentine because they'd used frozen spinach, but I wasn't thrilled with the omelet, since the eggs were overcooked, making the whole thing chewy. I wish I could have just gotten those toppings on scrambled eggs. The portions were HUGE, particularly for the biscuits and gravy.
While the food wasn't great, I think that had more to do with my tastes and poor ordering on my part. The staff was wonderful with that relaxed Cajun vibe permeating the air. I will definitely go back, but I'll be trying some of the Cajun classics instead of the omelets.
