| - My Fiancee' wanted to know what this place was all about. Seeing as to how I won't get the chance to take her down to New Orleans, this would be a decent compromise. The atmosphere is definitely trying to recreate the authentic "Nawlins" style restaurant, but they seem to be trying a little too hard. All you need is a large silver pot, and a guy standing next to it smacking whatever is trying to crawl out of it... Anywho..
So yes, the restaurant is packed full of flare. The servers were attentive and seemed pretty happy to be there, which is amazing considering when we were there, a band was playing pretty loudly and after a whole evening of that I would be seeking blood. However they must be used to it because each time we interacted everyone was giddy. We ordered the alligator bites as an appetizer. I was expecting little legs covered in bread to come to my table, but it was essentially chunks of chicken like meat. They were alright and had a good flavor to them. She ordered the seafood Fettuccine and I decided on Linguine Jambalaya. She was overly impressed with her dish. The different pieces of seafood that were on it were enough that there was a good pasta/meat ratio. Mine on the other hand was mostly huge chunks of sausage. There were 3 small shrimp, and what looked like a half chicken breast. The flavor was a little on the peppery side and was also a little dry. The presentation was nice with rather large strange shaped plates, but given the limit of table space, this turned out to be more of a hindrance than anything. We decided we enjoyed our experience, but for the amount per dish that is charged, we hoped to be a little more impressed with the food than we were. We may be back sometime.
