While nothing is blooming right now as it's still February, you can still quietly walk around and take in the seasonal nature. There are plenty of benches spread about so you can sit and take a break if needed. The grounds are very clean and clear of debris. I look forward to going once things bloom and brighten up a bit.

The venue itself is very dark and the bar area gets very crowded easily. The wait staff did an excellent job serving and keeping attendees served despite the crowding. When the food line was ready, the hot foods were already lukewarm. The other foods were just okay. There was nothing special about any of the foods served. I expected the food served to be absolutely delicious for the pricing. Attended a similar sized wedding in NOLA in January with exceptional food, venue, and amenities.

The ac wasn't working and instead of calling someone to fix it they show up a hour and a half later with box fans. The owner said she had a ac guy out that morning therfore she knew it wasn't working. Over half the party left due to the heat and sweating. When the owner arrived she had attitude like it was our fault. The other owner hung up on me and would return my calls. Very unprofessional

After hearing Randy's was the place for big, hot, delicious crabs, my husband and I pulled up on…read moreFriday, July 24th, ready to feast. Let's start with the parking lot. They have plenty of parking, which is great because you'll need the extra space to dodge potholes the size of kiddie pools. That lot is in horrible condition!! By the time we parked, our car needed a mechanic chiropractor. Unlike the parking lot, the inside was clean and moderately busy. When it was finally our turn, I confidently ordered hot large crabs. Pointing towards the display case showcasing a pan containing a moderate amount of cold crabs, the cashier replied, "We do not have large size hot crabs, only medium size cold crabs at $7.99 a pound." I slowly turned and looked at my husband with the universal married look that says, "Did we come all this way for refrigerated disappointment?" My husband the optimistic one decided we'd go ahead and get some anyway. As the employee began filling our order, I noticed she was selecting the smallest crabs from underneath the larger ones on display. I politely asked if she could choose larger ones instead, but my request wasn't acknowledged. After asking again and still receiving no response, I requested to select the crabs myself and was not acknowledged. At that point, we decided not to complete the purchase. For us, customer service is just as important as the food. We have a rule. If the service isn't there or the product isn't what a business is known for, it's okay to walk away. We almost settled, and that's never a good idea--especially these days when every dollar counts. And let's be honest the crabs were cold and my imagination started asking questions. How long have they been sitting there? Are these today's crabs...or are we on yesterday's episode? Maybe Randy's has amazing days. Maybe people leave carrying steaming bags of giant crabs while angels sing overhead. Friday, July 24th, just wasn't one of those days. Between the obstacle-course parking lot that doesn't qualify for FEMA assistance, the missing hot crabs, and being completely ignored by employee, this trip was an empty shell of what we expected.
