| - This was my first Summerlicious of 2014. I had the opportunity to eat at this place when my friend suggested to eat here for a birthday dinner.
My first impression was that the decor was fantastic, a warm ambiance of orange wallpaper with artworks that ties the whole Cajun-type culture together. They had a live band playing upstairs which was something I really liked.
We sat in the booth inside the restaurant and started off with a Sangria pitcher.
The Sangria was more fruity than the one's I've tried from other restaurants, so if you prefer a more fruity flavour than taste of alcohol, this Sangria would suffice.
The waiters and waitress were very friendly and fairly prompt with our orders, however, what bothered me was that because it's summer, I guess they wanted to make the whole restaurant into a somewhat patio-style. There were so many fruit flies that were flying near our drinks and there was no air conditioning.
Appetizers: Mandarin Spinach Salad and Catfish Lafayette.
The salad had really sweet mandarins which I like however, the spinach did not look as fresh as I would've like it to be as the spinach had darker spots.
The Catfish was fried and had sweet chili sauce that you can dip it into. It was drench in oil and it tasted like your standard, chicken bits that you receive as pub food.
Main: Southern Fried Chicken Waffles, Jambalaya, Blackened Catfish, and Jerk Beef Meatloaf.
The Southern Fried Chicken was cooked very well with a sweet plum-like coating around the fried part. As for the waffles, it was more or less bland, and not sweet, however it is fluffy and thick.
The Jambalaya had a tangy and spicy flavour (my least favourite) because the richness in the spicy and tang was not very complimenting and left an aftertaste that wasn't very pleasant. Portion was very reasonable.
Jerk Beef Meatloaf was savoury enough however, it was paired with rice and apply chutney, the apply chutney was too sweet for me with the fact that the meat loaf was cooked really well with their sauce.
Dessert: Mango Cream Tarts
They served a mango cream tart no bigger than 10cm in diameter. It tasted like mango mousse with a splash of tang. Tasted pretty good, but not amazing in my opinion.
Loved:
- the Staff
- dessert
- ambiance of the restaurant
- live band
- sangria
Disappointed:
- Jambalaya
- Appetizers
- fruit flies (due to open windows)
Not interested in coming back unless I'm around wanting to listen to the live bands.
