Ok, so my husband and I decided that we were going to try this place. We love Cajun food so we thought what the hay. I called first to see how late they were open since it was Christmas Eve and the nice lady on the phone told me 7pm. I asked her if reservations were recommended and she told me yes. I told her I would make them online and she told me she could take the reservation ( I called before they opened) now because sometimes they don't answer the phone. What? What do the Internet and phone have to do with each other but whatev! We get to the place at 4:15, reserve was for 4:30. We walk in and it smelled like a damp basement in a haunted house. Gross! A nice lady came out and said she would be right with us. Then a young man breezed by and said the same. Then the nice lady came back and said it again. Finally we were going to be seated and the lady crossed our name off the reserve list. The place was hopping, just kidding. We were 2 of the 8 people in the joint. I hate carpeted restaurants, and trees in the middle of the room. Where is Robert Irvine when I need him. I felt like I was in the dining room of a very sad retirement home. I wonder if our dinner came with an oxygen tank for two and a couple of walkers. Appetizer was stuffed mushrooms with some kind of hollandais sauce on it. All I can say is meh, those will never have a second chance. My hubs had the crawfish chowder which was a very large bowl of soup which came with a side of soup. Am I missing something here? I had the sampler which was a small dish of red beans and 4 grains of rice. A tiny soup bowl of gumbo and a dish of crawfish étouffée. I make better red beans and rice. The gumbo was most definately Zatarains, and the étouffée had some promise but again not on a reorder list. I don't think this place will get a second chance unless they lose the carpet and make it on Restaurant Impossible! And the final straw was the weird smelling ladies room, a cross between Mr. Clean, nursing home and the petting zoo. This was a first and a last for me. The only saving grace was the cheap prices which certainly reflected the ambiance and the food quality.
