| - I went here with a group for lunch today to check out their Winterlicious menu. I loved the atmosphere in the restaurant; it was very clean and nicely decorated (it's Mardi Gras without most of the tacky/overly stereotypical elements that I've seen in similar restaurants, which makes it seem more classy in my opinion).
I ordered the popcorn shrimp for my appetizer, which came with a tomato/pepper sauce. I liked the shrimp but felt that the sauce was not well suited to the dish. The main course I ordered was jambalaya, and for days before this lunch I was looking forward to the kick of spice that I've found in every jambalaya that I've had. When I received the dish, I was seriously disappointed to find that it had very little spice/seasoning at all. I am not a spice fanatic by any stretch, so it is significant when I consider a dish to be too bland. For dessert, I ordered the apple crumble. It was okay but not memorable. Some of my dining companions ordered the pulled pork, and not one of them finished it. They said the sauce was way too sweet, the bun was too large and the meat was just okay.
I feel like this restaurant doesn't live up to its potential at all. The staff is friendly, the location is great, and the atmosphere is lovely. The problem is their food- which, for a restaurant, is a pretty big problem.
