Jourdan River Steamer

After hearing many great reviews about this restaurant, I could not wait to eat here. I even passed up a couple of other places that were recommended by friends. However, the Joudan Steamer was awful. Being from New Orleans, I know what good food is supposed to taste like and what I was served last night was not good. Not to mention that it was greatly overpriced. I will never eat there again. Now after reading many of the reviews from this and other sites, I noticed that none of the good reviews were recent. Maybe the Jourdan Steamer was once a great restaurant, but now it is awful. I wish I could rate this restaurant less than one star. Pros: Great views of the Jourdan River. Cons: High Prices and tasteless food. more

All i can say is, fan-tab-u-lous , if you get a chance GO! This place rocks, some of the best food ever, in my whole life, The music was great, very fun atmosphere, great staff, very much out of the way. ok the food,\r oyster oyster appitizer,was great - char broiled and rockefeller, for dinner i had the pasta Mix it all, Mussels, big fresh shrimp, oysters, scallops and crab meat, this pelntfull and well perfect. the couple i went with ordered a dish for 2- it was called THE BOUNTY It was a steamed seafood Platter, The shrimp were called royal reds (new to me they said Deep water shrimpfrom 2000 feet deep) very very good, Giant snow crabs, dungenous crabs, and king crab, all was steamed and so hot we had to wait for it to cool down before eating. Now let me tell you this, the jourdan river steamer is in the middle of nowhere, and it's always full of people. strange hours too, wed -sun they open at 4pm thats it. Ok well i got to go they open in 45 mins, bye. Pros: needs to be closer to my home Cons: no lunch more
