I had been wanting to try this place for a while, but after the mixed reviews on Yelp, and being a woman that knows authentic cajun/creole food, I didn't want to be disappointed. I heard a few personal reviews at work, and they were all good, so, I decided to give them a try. Went in on a Friday night just in time to beat the rush. There were many open tables when we arrived, but the place was packed when we left. We tried the crawfish and alligator tail appetizer, which was very good, and they provided complimentary bread and hush puppies. The hush puppies had a little bite (possibly jalape\u00f1o), but were good. My hubbie had the n'awlins seafood delight, which was catfish that was smothered in what seemed like a spin on an alfredo sauce, they call it alfredeaux with green onions, tomatoes, and veggies on the side. I do not like catfish, but it was very good. I had the crescent city pasta, which was linguini with scallops, crawfish and shrimp, in a tasty lemon herb butter sauce. It was very good as well. I am not a wine drinker, but I tried the bayou belle, and believe me they do not skimp on the alcohol. I had one drink, and by the middle of my meal, I was wondering how I was going to walk out of the restaurant amongst the crowd..lol. My boys had the cat fish and the shrimp children's meals, and they enjoyed their food as well. The ambiance is nice-soft jazz music, candle light, and even when crowded, it wasn't overly noisy. My only complaint, the tables are too small. With the candle light, sauces, plates, salt and pepper shakers, drinks, etc. we needed a bigger table. Overall though, a great find.
