| - I finally made it to Jezebel's and I must say... I'm glad I did!
I'll definitely be coming back to this place. I've never been to New Orleans, so I can't personally speak to the authenticity, but everything we had was delicious, stick to your ribs creole soul food!
Fried Green Tomatoes: Great! Good flavor, crispy but light batter, and the spicy sauce was delicious.
Alligator Voodoo: Worth a try. I'd never had gator before. It kind of tastes like chicken, but it's tougher, kind of like calamari. For obvious reasons, it's a bit pricey though. You don't get very much for $10. I'm glad I tried it, but probably won't get it again.
For my entree, I ordered the shrimp, crawfish, and redfish etouffee. I CANNOT say enough about this dish. It was very delicious. Spicy, but not overwhelmingly so. All the seafood was cooked to perfection. The roue was delicious.
I also tasted the jambalaya and the paella. Both were excellent.
The service was also very good.
I only gave 4 stars for 2 reasons: 1. The dessert was just so-so. I tried the bread pudding, which was very dense, although it had a good flavor, and the beignets, which were also fine, but denser than I'd like them. 2. The ambiance is more casual than the food. You feel like you're in a mardi gras themed TGI Fridays (with fewer decorations). Compared to the personality of other restaurants in the area, they would do well to spruce it up inside.
Overall, fantastic food, and I can't wait to eat here again!
