I was excited to try this restaurant because eating with my hands while wearing a bib seemed alluring to me, for some reason.
First of all the service was fine. They seemed very concerned with offering refills on water but when I needed the bill they all were no where to be found.
We had shrimp, crawfish with the captian's broil seasoning, corn, lotus root and cajun fries. The shrimp have the heads on and are not deveined. The waitress was bewildered as to why this would be unappealing. I had to Google if eating the vein was harmful before my partner would continue eating. It's not, it just muddies the shrimp flavour because it is shrimp poop.
Do not waste your time with the crawfish. There is little meat on them and I think the idea of crawfish is more alluring that the crawfish themselves. They are also really sharp and stab you all the damn time. The corn was overcooked. The lotus root was fine and so were the fries.
Really, it's exhausting to dismember and devein your food for over an hour. I want somebody to do that for me when I go pay for food. Why are people lining up for this?
I really do not get the hype. It's a pass for me.
