. . . "I haven't been here in a long time and I've been taking about it to my wife for a while and we decided to go when we were in the area. Not only did I grow up in Charlotte, but I grew up in New Orleans too. So, I would call myself a Cajun food expert. \n\nThere aren't that many places in or around Charlotte that have Louisiana/New Orleans level Cajun food and I always considered CYD to be one of them. However, on this trip, I just wasn't impressed. Years ago, I would swear this was the best place in town, but not so much now. Not to mention the prices are a little on the high side. With the food competition cranking up, you have to have really great food to charge high prices. \n\nIt's always sad to see a restaurant you use to call the best not live up to its expectations, but it wasn't terrible either. The service was great, the atmosphere was great, it's just the food was decent and the prices were too high. \n\nI'll save my next Cajun food craving for when I'm in New Orleans."^^ . "0"^^ . "3"^^ .
