Well we made the mistake of going here on a Friday night at about 7pm. This place was packed. Strange considering the average price of a dinner is around 20 bucks. But we decided to try anyways. I have been here before but that was maybe six years ago.
Upon arrival we went to the hostess table and she told us there would be a two hour wait. She said that if you wait for a table in the bar you can get one of those tables first come first serve. So we took a number and hung out in the bar. About 20 minutes of waiting in the bar we got two seats at the bar. Lucky. The bar staff is very friendly and very fast considering this place was absolutely packed!
We ordered two of the specialty drinks called the swamp thing! they were damn tasty. I don't know how much alcohol is in one but that's all I needed for the rest of the night! We also ordered some fried alligator as an appetizer. The alligator taste like a cross of fish with a chicken texture. It is very tasty! The presentation was also nice not messy or greasy. We then ordered our dinner.
She got the Shrimp Etoufee and I got the Pontchartrain Fish. The shrimp etoufee came in a smoky sauce with dirty rice. The Pontchartrain was the fish of the day which was tilapia and had shrimp and crab meat in a butter sauce with dirty rice. The food is outstanding! Portion size is fantastic and food served hot and fresh. The fish has no fishy taste or smell to it. Its as if it came off the boat and served in your plate.
Overall I say two thumbs way up! For an expensive dinner this place is worth it. Date night yes, want to surprise the family with some creole food YES!
Only thing I would say is that come early and hungry! Also if it is date night the bar is the way to go. You don't even have to get alcohol you can get a soda and order food.
