| - I visited N'awlins for a surprise birthday dinner for a friend. The vibe was lively and upbeat. Our server was wonderful and made sure that all of the guests attending were well taken care of, as well as the birthday girl. Our server requested that the band play happy birthday, and they very also gave special mention to a couple celebrating their anniversary.
The food was good, but some portions were small for the price. For instance, I ordered the fish of the day special at $26+, and the portion was literally half of the size of other plates my group ordered, such as the Fusilli pasta with Bacon & chicken at about $19. The crab cakes were small, but packed with great flavour, and the coconut shrimp was awesome and not like anything I've had anywhere else. The shrimp isn't fried with a coconut batter, but sauteed in sauce and loaded with shaved coconut on top. We actually ate spoonfuls of just the coconut sauce!
On the not so great side of things, their website states there will be a "15% gratuity is added to parties of eight or more", and in a party of 6, we were charged this same automatic gratuity.
Overall, we had a good time and I'd probably visit again.
