The Ballantyne location is in my old neighborhood. Funny, huh? Calling Ballantyne someone's old neighborhood...
The thing about this place is that it is inconsistent. Some days everything is just right, better than just right. Other days its definitely not worth the price, especially for some of their seafood dishes which can reach $20. The prices are a little higher than the decor should allow, but not so much that I feel robbed.
My guy really loves a good Reuben or Muffaletta, so we get take out and visit occasionally. The sandwiches are large, 1/2 order is plenty for one person. The gumbo is so-so. The red beans and etouffee are average, but can be good if the chef is on that day.
My recommendation would be to go for the sandwiches if you live in the area and you've had a difficult commute, something quick and not Showmar's... It's not really a destination if you get my drift.
