My husband and I went to the restaurant in the Annex a couple of years ago and had an amazing dinner. We went to the Express restaurant this evening in anticipation of the beignets. The girl serving us was very friendly and helpful. I asked what the most popular dish was and she told me the blackened chicken and brisket were. I ordered the seafood voodoo pasta dish (I had it at the restaurant and it was the best pasta I had ever had, this time it was disappointing and under seasoned) and my husband ordered the brisket (it wasn't as tender as we expected and it was also under seasoned.
The beignets were the highlight of the meal. There were four of them and they were quite small but delicious. If they would make them in the shape as the beignets you get at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans they would be the closest I've been able to find. We really wanted to like this place but we just didn't, maybe we're biased from our restaurant experience at the Annex.
