| - Our waiter was a gentleman named Chris. He made good suggestions, and was attentive & very funny. There was literally, not one time, in which I had to ask for a refill. He seemed to have some invisible alert that notified him when one of our glasses started getting low. With his encouragement, we started with the Big Easy sampler. It had crab cakes, fried oysters, (insert o face) fried alligator tails, and frog legs. Now, to be fair to myself, I tried it all. Nothing tasted bad but, I'm still not a fan of frog legs. The texture was way too chewy for me. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the fried alligator tails. They were seasoned well, and with the crispy flour coating, I just told myself they were a different kind of chicken nugget, so my gag reflex wouldn't overpower my taste buds. They didn't really taste like chicken, just a different kind of meat. The fried oysters and crab cakes were both good. I had a little oyster shell fried into my oysters, so that kind of threw me for a loop. And the crab cakes didn't have enough "crab" flavor for me, probably because they were slightly overpowered by all the green onion.
For our entrees we shared the crawfish duet and seafeast platters. The crawfish étoufféé was rich, thick, and delicious. And I had a genuine regret that one of us didn't order the endless fried catfish dinner, after we ate the catfish from the seafeast plate. I was also a big fan of the red beans and rice and fried shrimp. I could have taken or left the fried crawfish tails, I think because I wanted whole crawfish I could peel and suck all the juices from and the little tails just weren't doing it for me. And there wasn't much to say about either the boiled, peel & eat shrimp or, the fried oysters. I'd say the entrees were good enough that we'd want to go back, and try some other things. For our dessert though- I died and went to heaven. Beignets, that were so hot and fresh you had to let themc ool off to eat them. And vanilla ice cream covered in fudge and raspberry sauce, with strawberries and raspberries on the side. I'd go over and over again, just to get dessert. (Or the fried catfish or crawfish étoufféé)
All in all, Rhythm Kitchen is a good meal and a good time!
