| - Perfect. Birthday. Dinner. Absolutely out of this world. The ambiance was quiet and intimate. The service was polite, attentive, and extraordinarily friendly (thank you Heather). And the food was was about as close to New Orleans fair as one can hope to achieve outside of Louisiana.
Oysters on the 1/2 Shell: flown in daily from The Gulf, these succulent big-as-your-palm beauties are served with a fresh, sharp horseradish and a cocktail sauce. I was astounded to find that they served Shiner Bock on tap, and the Texan in me just had to go for a cold one and oysters.
N'awlins Delight (blackened catfish in a subtle cream sauce with shrimp): oh my goodness, pure heaven. The flavorful sauce paired with the blackening was absolute perfection, with the fish moist and flaky. Served with rice and al dente veggies, it was a delight for the palate.
Étouffée: Wow! A beautifully dark musky roux was absolute perfection. Crawfish and/or shrimp, both are a suburb addition. And along with the freshly made French rolls... I have to say it again... Wow!
We were too full for dessert, but beignets and fried ice cream will defiantly be on the menu next time we are here!
And get this... On Tuesday evenings they have all you can eat crab legs! Sunday nights is all you can eat catfish! Oh yeah, we'll be coming back here again soon!
Lola's, take note, y'all have got some serious competition!
