| - We were looking for a place that had flavors like in New Orleans...it did not quite fit the flavor profiles we've been searching for here in AZ. The restaurant did serve good food, had fair pricing, nice and casual dining atmosphere, and good service. We tried the Crawfish & Gator appetizer which was very good lightly coated deep fried bites. I had the Cajun trio - gumbo, jambalaya, and crawfish pie. My husband opted for the 12 oz bowl of chicken and sausage gumbo. My hubby enjoyed the gumbo, but I found it a tad bit salty. The jambalaya was ok, it seemed to be missing a flavor, came lukewarm, and was sort of drier than what I prefer for a jambalaya. The crawfish pie had a great deep fried crust, but the crawfish filling is like their version of crab Rangoon - crawfish mixture with cream cheese? Good but not quite what I expected when I think of for Louisiana style crawfish pie. Maybe the flavors are from a certain region/area in Louisiana I have yet to explore. We ended our meal with their beignets. They were good, but not anything like Cafe du Monde good. We will be back to try other items in the menu, like their etoufé and seafood gumbo. So for now, it gets 3 stars.
