Unimpressed but the service was stellar.
We started with crayfish in an amazingly spicy/lemony cream sauce, but unfortunately, even though crayfish season is in fact upon us right now, they seemed as though they had been previously frozen. There was a dryness to them when they should have been delicate. Perhaps they were just over-boiled.
I had the chicken fried steak which was gray and slightly tough underneath soggy crust that tasted suspiciously like Chinese chicken balls and a bland white gravy. My friend had the fried chicken, which he thought was slightly undercooked and tasteless.
Both of our entree's included garlic mash, which was dry and still had the skins on. I would have preferred fluffier mash, but that's just me.
I finished with beignet's which were obviously not made with authentic beignet flour, so subsequently were dense and chewy. Our server was excellent though. She was very warm, prompt, and not overbearing. I think this resto is probably a good addition to the Islington neighbourhood, but it would never survive downtown.
It made me long for the good old days when Cajun Corner was still around!
