| - Four of us went for lunch yesterday. I have been wanting to get here and finally did. Was a rainy day, but the voodoo gods of New Orleans must have liked us, it got sunny as we stepped out of our car so we were able to sit on the patio.
You know what they say about first impressions.....you literally feel like you have walked into New Orleans when you walk into the door. Love the decor and authentic details. Almost made me want to sit inside, but with Cleveland weather, I sit outside every chance I get.
Patio was charming as well, but not like the restaurant. We were immediately approached and asked if we were here before. The gumbo sounded good, but we asked server if it was spicy. She offered to bring us each a "shooter" so we could decide for ourselves. Nice touch, Shannon.
Two in the party ordered the gumbo, the other two thought it was too spicy for their tender tastebuds. It was spicy, but oh so good. In all, we got a shrimp po boy, crispy oysters, creole shrimp and the fleur debris po boy (chuck roast). They were all very good, and the bistro sauce served with the oysters and shrimp po boy should be bottled and sold.
I can't finish my review without saying how great our server, Shannon was. She engaged with us, gave us suggestions, took photos of us when asked and she made our experience that much more fun.
BSBR is a great addition to the Tremont neighborhood and wonder why it took me so long to enjoy this trendy, fun place with great eats.
