| - OK, Southern Accent, I was psyched to visit you and eat Cajun food. Now, less psyched after my evening there.
Pros: the pecan pie is delicious. Like daaaaaaang delicious.
The fish I had (not catfish, a catch of the day of some kind) was tasty and perfectly cooked. Very nice, and the spice rub on it was good too. Some bones, but that happens, no worries.
Cons: the website advertised alligator, but they had no alligator! And not like "oh sorry, we ran out tonight, but we'll have more on Saturday" but rather "we get alligator once a year and that period of time is over." Which would be fine if their website said anything about seasonality for this dish. I wanted some damn alligator! Ok, whining over (about that).
The ceviche was cooked. Like, the shrimp and scallop must have been boiled. That's not how ceviche IS, man. It's not cooked! It's lime juiced and salted but largely raw-ish. So cooked-through ceviche? That was weird and not tasty.
The vegetables and rice that came with my tasty fish - really blah and meh and other boring words.
If I could give this place a 2 1/2 star review, that would be spot-on. The service wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it was just... there. Combine that with an uneven meal, and I'm definitely not rushing back to Southern Accent.
