| - A friend recommended Pappadeaux when I asked him where we should go for our anniversary dinner. The restaurant itself is beautiful both inside and out. We were greeted immediately upon entering and seated very quickly. We didn't love where we were seated though, feeling as though we were in the middle of a walkway. The dining room wasn't very full when we arrived, so we think we could have been seated in a less busy location, but it is what it is.
We ordered the fried calamari appetizer and we're a bit disappointed in the size for the price. There was a lot of just batter prices and fried artichokes (something we'd never had in calamari before), and not as much actual calamari. We were concerned that our entree might be lacking too, but they most definitely were not. I ordered the Texas redfish Pontchartrain which was delicious! It came in a le!on butter sauce with some shrimp and crabmeat and dirty rice. Hubby ordered the Jumbo Shrimp Brochette, which was bacon wrapped shrimp filled with Monterey Jack and a jalapeno sliver with dirty rice. He really enjoyed his as well. The entrees were a great size. For dessert we had crème brulee, which was very good too.
Overall, a very good meal and we will probably return, although we're not likely to order the calamari again. And really, we didn't need an appetizer because they brought out warm, crusty French bread and that is really all the appetizer we needed.
