Fantastic Sunday brunch with this new restaurant! Waiter was attentive, and great with suggestions. I came with my husband and two girls, 8 and 5, and my mother. Immediately they brought glasses of water in glasses appropriate for the young kids. I had the cafe du monde coffee which was very sweet but still enjoyable. We started with the beignets, which were like fried croissants. Different but incredibly tasty and the yeasty flavor really shined through.
Next, my mom and I had the lobster bisque. So good that my 5 year old gave it a thumbs up! Very creamy and they didn't skimp on the lobster.
My girls ordered the chicken and waffles. Waiter then asked us if we preferred tenders, which was very much appreciated. Very thoughtful. One waffle accidentally came back with syrup on the waffle and they immediately made it right. 10/10 for making sure the customer, even the 8 year old, got what they wanted.
The adults got the etoufee, the gumbo, and the shrimp and grits. Gumbo with the added seafood had real fried soft shelled crab! A true treat and I helped myself to my mom's plate. My husband ordered the etoufee and he had finished it in just a few minutes. They make a really brown, creamy roux that has a great depth of flavor. I got the shrimp and grits and once again, my 5 year old kept eating off my plate. A bit spicy for her, but great for me. The grits were creamy and the shrimp was perfectly cooked.
We ended with the bread pudding. It truly was like eating a custard. It came out hot and steaming, made fresh. Super vanilla flavor, really rich. After all this food, we couldn't finish it, but the waiter made sure to bring fresh spoons to make sure we could all try it.
Would definitely return. Can't wait to come back and try more of their seasonal menu. read more
