Decent Food... Poor Service
I finally decided to try this place after seeing a travel zoo coupon.
The inside of the restaurant is very nice. Bright and high ceilings. There is also an upstairs that was closed off on this Saturday evening due to an event. Its located off the beaten path right off 215 and Decatur.
We were there about 20 mins earlier for our reservation but the hostess offered us seating in Happy Hour section.
This section is still really nice and was pretty packed. It took about 25 minutes to even see a waitress. We ordered two cocktails, and we didnt see the waitress for about another 25 minutes to take our order. It appeared she was the only one working happy hour area-- Wow! There were about 8 tables PLUS the actual bar top.
Food was Ok and took forever to come out.(35 mins) We were told that they were also short staff on the kitchen.. smh..
Gumbo in Garlic Bread Bowl- Seasoned well, but luke warm and runny. Also didnt come with the crab as described on menu
Catfish & Shrimp Creole- very good tomatoe topping and fish cooked perfectly. Green beans were a little undercooked
Filet & Dirty Rice- Cooked perfectly.. buttery and great smoky flavor on steak
Strawberry Madagascar- Lacking in presentation. The waitress actually left because she forgot something while pan was in front of us still cooking. Table cloth that food was on was extremely dirty. Tasty though
Key Lime- Perfect! Just enough sour and sweet, tasty buttery crust.
Not sure if its worth coming back as I now notice that customer service is an issue by seeing others reviews..
