| - It was a Friday October 15th at approx. 6pm-ish. My lady and I had seen this place for quite some time and wanted to check it out. We were hopefully of a new dining delight in the old Don Pablo's building.
We pulled up into the driveway and at first it seemed like there many cars, but soon we realized it was for the other near by places such as TGIFs, Steak'N"Shake and the hotel.
Upon entering the building it was interesting to see the change from Don Pablos to this....it was "neat"...loooked very fancy and I expected high prices...however they were not.
Being a New Oleans restaraunt, I expected to see some Crawfish....sadly No Crawfish on the menu! and No Boudin either.
The host polietly asked me if I preferred a booth or table and my reply was booth. Nearly seconds later, he asked again, did you say booth or table? My reply was booth please (they place was nearly empty, and this was not a problem to find a booth) Upon approaching the far side of the restaraunt, he asked me a 3rd time, Would you like a booth or table? I laughed and said a booth and joked with my girlfriend he must be high.
Our server then came out, she was a bubbly girl who said she had been working there about 2 months. She took our drink orders then came back and asked if we needed more time....I said yes and asked her for her suggestions and she suggested something (sorry I forget what it was) that didnt appeal to me as I kinda had my eye on the seafood paella.
I asked her how it was and she said didnt like that kind stuff and that the texture was gross.
At this point I didn not expect anything delightful from the rather uniquely atmosphered restaraunt.
We were directed to the dumpling soup and a salad to accompany the seafood paella which we were to share......
The waitress....a friendly, bubbly young lady was quite enthusiastic and entertaining to speak to about the restaraunt and the "show". She explained that the show gets pretty busy on the weekends and the bands are pretty good. Truth being told the Band that was playing some kind of jazz blend was not too bad, and put me in a good mood.
The soup came out and was tasty. Bread Rolls and salad did nothing to impress me. While I love King hawaiin rolls from my grocer, this was a cheap immatation at best and the salad was pretty much just white iceberg. We ate it and said nothing....
Minutes later the Paella.
I took one bite of a scallop and it was Raw. I asked my date to confirm and she did. I was poking around for a piece of andoullie....didnt seem to find one.....didnt get a chance too look much further...DIDNT CARE TO LOOK FURTHER when the waitress came back and asked how it was I said I was not pleased and i didnt want it fixed, just wanted it removed from the bill and id pay for salad and soup.
She kindly obliged and we recieved the bill and left the magical place with not very good food :)
2 stars for ambiance, and good server
negatives
-food not very good quality *but hey cheap prices sorta*
-host forgetful of seating request
