    This will be a lengthy review. Its been a long time since we've been here. Nothing really major ,…read moremade us not come back. Its just one of those things. We met a good friend of ours here for lunch. His wife and US, would regularly go n out to eat with each other. It was a normal routine. His wife passed away suddenly about 8 months ago and he hasnt gone anywhere that whole time. She was my best friend. It was a pleasant surprise, when he agreed to have lunch with us. We decided to go to Zea's on W. ESPLANADE. It was obvious they were busy as most of the lot was full. The first thing we noticed was the new interior renovations. It was definitely brighter and open since the last time we were here. We finally got sat at a table, wasnt a long wait. Our server, (young lady named Taylor) was our server. She was very friendly, inviting personality and made you feel welcomed. We started off with drinks and the Hummus appetizer. Never seen a big appetizer like this, it was perfect for 3 even 4 ppl and very good. It was served with warm pita slices. I remember they served cucumber slices upon request, not sure if they still do that. The lunch entrees were Almond chicken salad for my wife. Our friend ordered the Thai rib plate and I had the Crispy duck. As far as I know, my food was excellent, the duck was well cooked and moist. The Thai ribs are usually always good, no doubt that has changed, I stole one of my friends ribs. It went to good use. My wife said the main salad was good, but she feels the chicken itself lacked flavor, but since this is my review, only my opinion matters, lol. The Thai ribs were very good. I love the corn grits and the zea potatoes. For me, I feel this was my best meal I've had all year so far. Would I come back? Heck yeah. You buying? I overall, love the change. The new menu and decor is a hit for me.

    Had a Gift Certificate so tried this for the first time. We really weren't impressed. However, our…read moreserver was amazing and we couldn't have had a better one. However, the food was sub par for the price. The hummus and pita Appetizer was delicious and we all thoroughly enjoyed. We had the Honey Island Chicken which was good but not $17 good. It came with basic, undercooked and unsalted fries. The daughter had the Philly Steak Panini which didn't look appealing and she said it was overly full of mayo which is mixed in with the meat. Our granddaughter had the Balsamic Salmon which looked so pretty and was delicious but it was almost $30 and came with 2 basic sides. The hamburgers were cooked well but still only came with a basic side and the fries were awful. The atmosphere was okay but a bit dark. Thankful we had the gift certificate because we all decided this was a one and done!

    What a fun time! My bro, cousins and I had a family outing and brought the kids for an afternoon…read more It was a busy day at surge but the more the merrier at a place like this. The highlights were definitely the go-carts but also the arcade because the variety of games are great. There's something for everyone including adults so it's great for date night or just hanging out and watching a game at the bar. The TVs are huge. We had drinks but didn't have any food but from what we saw being served, it appeared to be pretty standard bar food. Can't wait to go back and try bowling and laser tag.

    Where do I start lol Floor was so sticky…read moreHad a small gathering in the food area . Ordering food was a nightmare. Kiosk idea is cool for people with small parties of ppl but I would have rather having an option to having a server. Getting drinks from the bar was a nightmare . Only 2 bartenders on a Saturday with a packed place. Food comes out on this big tray and thankfully after struggling a nice worker offered to carry it for me . Maybe what needs to be done is cafe style where you give them a number for the table and the worker can walk out the food to ur table. I also heard ppl complaining about the food and service. A lot of wasted space which I feel could have been utilized for seating area. Workers seemed over worked and confused. I feel like this place is a good idea but needs fine tuning. What I think is for the price of things the value of the service needs to be better. When ur paying resort prices but feel like ur at a motel 6 that's not right. I doubt drew Bree's would be satisfied with his experience last night. Which from my understanding he owns this establishment .

    For some reason there seem to be quite a few bars around the country named Shenanigans. You always…read moreremember your first and my first visit to a Shenanigans was in Sewanee, TN where unknown to me my pals Beanland were playing a gig much to my surprise! So I've returned many times to the Sewanee Shenanigans over the years while somehow missing the fact that there is also a Shenanigans in Metairie which I also learned offers a steak night. On further investigation I also learned they have live music on a pretty regular schedule so all that sounded like a real win to me! So I planned a time where I could combine steak night with some live music and I ended up having a fantastic time with both my steak and the live music for my first visit here. I made another return visit for more live music and sampled the burger which was also quite nice. I have returned for quite a number of visits at this point and have found this to be quite a pleasant place to pass a good time with good food, good times, good music and good people! If you happen to look on YouTube you might even find a video by NOLA Gent about this location as well!

    Friendly service from the bartender Kaleigh. Cocktails were good & tasty Delicious mouthwatering…read moreperfect temperature melt in your mouth meatloaf, prepared by Scott. When I walked in the bartender and the customers made me feel right at home. Very friendly neighborhood bar. The bar and the bathrooms were very clean and did not smell at all. Good energy and well lit wasn't dingy.
