What can I say? This was the worst $30 steak I ever had. Mostly my fault, I should have read the menu a little closer. There are only two steak choices and I was in the mood for steak. I chose the ribeye, bad choice. It came smothered in some kind of dark brown, mushroom gravy. Carnivore that I am, I really enjoy a good steak. I think a good steak stands on it on, without the addition of any sauce, gravy, etc. This slop totally overpowered the natural flavor of the steak. It was really bad. It did serve one purpose however. I am not a great ribeye fan because the cut generally has more fat on it than I like. But my choices were limited here (only two), so I went with it. The steak seemed excessively fatty, even for a ribeye. I wonder now if the sauce/gravy was a convinent way to hide a lesser quality cut of meat. My wife went with one of the table d' hote offerings, the barbequed shrimp. She pronounced it acceptable, but not great. The service left me unimpressed too. If I had to use a single word, I think I would describe it as unconcerned. Not that any of the staff was unfriendly, they just seemed to be going through the motions, trying to get through the night. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. I expected better. Considering the myriad of dining choices in the French Quarter, you can easily find better food and service. We were very disappointed.
Pros: Not much to distinguise it from other French Quarter eats
Cons: Lackadaisical service
