I wasn't so sure how the whole experience would go since I don't usually eat fish and I haven't had a lot of experience with cajun food either. But my hesitation quickly slipped away as the ambiance of the restaurant engulfed me. This is a fun place.\n\nIt was a busy night and so we had cocktails and appetizers on the patio--great patio! As our table came available, we were escorted inside to nice location by the window. (I love tables with a view.) Our waiter was very helpful with the selections explaining in detail which dishes would suit our individual tastes. Nice variety of dishes on the menu. My ceasar salad was was as nice complement to the shrimp etouffee and dirty rice. Everything was spiced just right and the favors were just watering.\n\nOur waiter checked back on us periodically, just enough to keep in touch but not be a bother. He was attentive and concerned that his dinner suggestions met with our approval--they did. He was very good and I wish I could remember his name, to give him a proper shout out. \n\nNeedless to say, I'll be back next time I'm in Phoenix---Love you, Pappadeaux's!"^^ . "5"^^ . "1"^^ .
