| - Came here for a birthday party on Sat.
The atmosphere is great. There is an upstairs bar with a balcony, great artwork, lovely chandeliers. Very sexy, romantic. I even mentioned that I felt like I was on vacation in New Orleans!
Although, as another review mentioned, annoying music...kind of quick paced Louisiana style music (not sure what the genre is called!) I get what they are trying to do, but a slower blues or jazz music could have kept the theme without sounding too cheesy for the lovely atmosohere. Also...take down the mardi gras beads from the pretty chandeliers and the ironwork on the top balcony. Unnecessary...
The food was wonderful and beautifully presented. I ordered the raw oysters and the chocolate chesecake...mmm! My boyfriend's gumbo was great and the jambalaya was ok. After years of denial and talking myself into liking Creole food, I've come to the consensus that I just do not like it. I didn't particularly like the jambalaya, but he said it was very good. So, rather than take off any stars or simply state it wasn't tasty to me, I've made peace with that fact that my problem with Creole food is just that, my problem.
Overall, very good. Will be back for some frog legs!
