| - Once again I read reviews on here and decided to go and give this restaurant a try and I was sooooo excited. I am such a geechee woman and I loved me some good ole' creole food. I went expecting the Cajun food to take me away and I was taken away alright, because I wanted them to take my food straight to the garbage. Ok so maybe I started this review off wrong, but definitely with great reason. So let me tell you all how my Mother's Day Brunch here was all kinds of awful. I should have known when I saw women with big hats leaving this place and it was only 1pm .
Walking through the door we were half greeted by a server and he advised us that because it was Mother's day the half of the room to the right was reserved by people who made reservations and the half by the door was available to sit at. This was perfectly okay with me, because I had already commented to the my cousin that I didn't want to sit on that half of the room because it looked so crowded and cramped, so this was news to my ears. When the server took us to our seats he sat us and din't provide us with any menus and we didn't get any for a good 15 minutes!!! Due to wanting a ZEN kind of day we tried not to stress out and make a fuss, we had already figured before we left home and made plans to come here that because it was Mother's Day that where ever we went there would be a crowd, so we more than willing to deal with the hustle.
After we finally received our menus the server came about 20 minutes later.......to take our order. By this time I was starving and reading all the good stuff on the menu had my mouth watering. But that's all I got was a eyegasm because the food was terrible. I ordered the alligator bites and I have had plenty of creole and cajun food over my life span but this was not it. The alligator was tough and bland and had all this cajun seasoning on top. Cajun food does not mean that it has to be drowned with cajun seasoning you can buy in the seasoning aisle at the grocery store. I thought maybe it was just the alligator so I asked the waiter if I could send it back and he offered me to order something else on the menu, so I ordered the fried green tomatoes. My cousin suggested I get it because she knows I love me some fried green tomatoes. Keep in mind that at this point we still hadn't ordered a drink, because the waiter ran off yet againnnnnn and we didn't see him for another 15 minutes. I was beyond starving at this point so when I got the fried green tomatoes I dove in and just about choked. They were disgusting. I have never had such horrible food. They were once again smothered with that same heavy seasoning and just bland. I thought maybe my taste buds were off so I asked my cousin to try them and I say this to say that she is a licensed and trained chef and she spit them out just as quickly as she put them in her mouth.
She had ordered wings for her appetizer and let me try one of hers and they weren't bad. We waited for our entrees and the server finally came and took our drink orders, but it took another 20 minutes before we got it. The place wasn't that jam packed but the issue was that there were 4 servers and a slew of kitchen staff and our server was working the door, serving, bartending, and answering phones.smh. I mean they didn't know to prepare for Mother's Day and then on top of that they were very attentive to the customers with reservation but not to us or the 1 other couple there. Another couple came in and after waiting to get service for 30 minutes they leftl! We were still trying to be ZEN so we stuck it out. The drinks were strong and good. I ordered a hurricane and it definitely put me at ease until the entrees came out. I ordered the Shrimp po' boy and fries which was simple enough and my cousin had the catfish w/ spinach and mashed potatoes. Everything looked amazing, but looks are definitely deceiving and I spoke way too soon, because it all tasted terrible. BLAND with that same seasoning. We politely waited for the server to come check on us for 35 minutes and I know because I checked my phone and requested to send all the food back. I told him I wasn't happy with he meal or service at all and would pay for the fries which I half ate due to hunger and the alcoholic drink. He asked my question if she liked her food, which he should have known she didn't because our food looked about the same as when he brought it out.
To make matters worse, we heard the 1 couple behind us complaining to one another that there food wasn't good. I was glad to know it wasn't just us.It took another 30 minutes and with the kitchen staff staring us down for him to bring us our checks. I was soooo excited to dine here and had even bookmarked this place to try and everything from the service to the food was lackluster and left a bad taste in my mouth. I've never had to walk out of a restaurant until I came here. FYI if your going to have rsvp's and still keep the restaurant open treat all your guests equal.
