| - From the Bayou to Las Vegas. Alligator is an appetizer on the menu at the Rhythm Kitchen that you won't find on any other menu in town. Service was great, the food was good, and the atmosphere was elegant.
Although I was anxious to try the alligator, I wasn't overly impressed with the flavor that seasoned the alligator bites. It was good, just nothing amazing. With your meal, the restaurant serves hush puppies and soft butter. I haven't had hush puppies in years, and I don't recall them ever being anything special. At Rhythm Kitchen, the hush puppies were really good.
It was all you can eat baby back rib night, which was the reason for our visit. I loved the tender ribs, but should caution that the chef packs on the rib sauce. I had to ask for my next round to come "lightly sauced," and even lightly sauced was too much to handle. Getting more ribs upon request though was absolutely no issue. The turnaround was within 4 minutes. This is great! The ribs were meaty and tender.
The entree came with a loaded potato with green beans. The loaded potato has butter, sour cream, chives, and cheddar cheese. No complaints there. The green beans were good, but they are not made al dente, which is how I like my vegetables. The garnish for the entire plate is chives.
From the bar, I ordered the Hurricane. It was very good with my meal. For dessert, I was anxious to try the bread pudding topped with vanilla sauce. I have had great bread pudding experiences; at Rhythm Kitchen the bread pudding is missing something. It was not as moist as it looked, and therefore required an extra helping of vanilla sauce to get it down. The vanilla sauce was very good.
I enjoyed the experience. I loved the atmosphere and the company. The restaurant was clean and comfortable.
