| - Went here for New Years Eve. The drinks were great, the food was fabulous, and the service was .. alright!
The exterior and interior of this restaurant are both very eclectic and get you excited to eat here right away. We were seated in "the booth" which is literally a former entrance to the home, turned into a closet with a curtain over it. The reservationist warned us about this, but we were perfectly happy with it. Very cute, intimate. Of course, there's ample open seating as the restaurant has two floors.
The waiter came to greet us. He was awkwardly hilarious and gave us a good "WTF?" initial impression. Throughout the night, he seemed rushed would do quick rush-job checks on our table, but I'll give him a second chance because he was also doing the bar by himself, on New Years Eve (and it was busy!). I'll give him credit though, he makes a good drink, especially his Bourbon Sour -- Recommend trying it, and go for the upgraded one for $2 more.
The food came to us and it was an explosion of flavours. It was a special NYE menu, with my choice being a Bourbon Chicken plate and my date being a Lamb plate. The Bourbon chicken was both of our favourites with a huge mix of flavours and a perfect smoky flavour. The Lamb was great too, but slightly disappointing given the price, as the roasted lamb felt a bit dry in some spots. The sauces in both the dishes were amazing, and definitely made me a fan of Creole cuisine. Will be trying more.
Overall, quite pleased with the experience and plan to go back some time to try the Catfish and other dishes. Their regular menu looks much more appealing than the NYE menu they had going.
