| - My husband and I had dinner there the on a Saturday around 6:30pm. We should have known when there were about 4 cars in the lot...
The atmosphere was different. The huge Mardi Gras masks painted on the wall were kind of neat, but over all it seemed more like a theme room for a large banquet hall. We were seated by the fountain, which had almost no water in it, just enough to keep the pump from burning up.
The music that was playing was Oldies, not bad, but not New Orleans.
My husband ordered the seafood gumbo and was disappointed at the lack of seafood in it. I ordered the chicken gumbo because I'm really not a fan of seafood. As I tried the broth I told him it tasted like seafood, then I found the little shrimp that are found in cheap cans. I'm glad I wasn't allergic to seafood, because there was no notice that the chicken gumbo shares broth with the seafood one! The bread was store-bought-goodness, and served with a chunk of cold, hard butter. We didn't even think about asking for dessert.
The waitress was nice, and took good care of us. Also the restrooms were clean and well stocked. These are my 2 positives to say about the place and the only reason why I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1.
The food was not gross, but it was excruciatingly average, and not worth the price. We will not be going back, and I am telling my friends and family not to waste their money or time.
