If I close my eyes pretend there is some Louis Armstong playing while the smoke from the kitchen fills the air and open them slowly you could almost believe you are in the Big Easy!
Tonight I had a great dinner here with my wife! She had a Chardonnay, I had a Hurricane to get the evening rolling! Very nice I must say! We ordered a small green salad to start which was just greens and a nice light vinaigrette dressing! Then for the main course the waitress warned us the Dinosaur Beef ribs were all sold out for the night! Dang, I was sorta feeling like them! Que to second choice I ordered the Cajun combo and wifey ordered the Creole Shrimp! Plus, of course we needed some sweet potato fries to fill up that tummy! All came out in quick order and was delish, spicy and well presented! For desert it was all about the Double chocolate chip bourbon pecan pie! Afterwards we felt like we needed to un-notch the pants but were more than satisfied with the meal!
I've eaten here 9 years ago and once in between and the restaurant still has that same great ambiance and look to it! If I lived in NDG it would probably be a once a month hit up!
Some notes to mention to the owners if reading:
Please try serving some better coffee! It tastes like brown water!
Also some N'awlins jazz wouldn't have hurt, but you may be sick of that from perhaps trying it sometime in your 20 years of operation! Still, it would help fit the ambiance of the place and make me believe I was really in the Big Easy (sleazy!).
