I was really hoping to make this my new place on Saturday nights, but it was a complete disappointment. When we walked in it was about half empty and the hostess area was abandoned. After 10 minutes, one of the waitresses pointed at a table. I was tired of the other patrons staring at us, so I grabbed a menu and sat down. \r

We ordered the fried mushrooms as an appetizer and some drinks. Almost ten minutes later the drinks came and we placed dinner orders and ordered a couple of more drinks. This is where the train wreck started. The appetizer was delivered, then 2 or 3 minutes later the salads were brought out and as the salads where being sat down the entrees were headed our way. The salads were good, but they come with a side of dressing and my wife was able to spill half of it on her while uncapping it. Why couldn’t they bother to uncap their dressings before bring out the salads is beyond me.\r

The mushroom appetizer and entrees were frozen Costco products. Their Crawfish Etoufee was flavorless, except for the over powering taste of raw onion. The center piece of the dish was a pile of rice that had been packed into a ramekin and dumped out. My wife had the Catfish with their “hand cut” prepackaged frozen fries. It was a $60 rip off.\r

The atmosphere was something else. I was surprised to see Christmas decorations and even more intrigued by the New Years Eve drink menu at the table; considering I was there on Jan 26. The unisex bathroom had several warning signs to be sure to lock the door. Unfortunately the guy who was in the bathroom when my wife walked in hadn’t read the signs. At that point I had no desire to try a desert and got out of there as quickly as possible. \r

If this place wants to improve then they have a lot of potential, starting with the kitchen. When you set the bar on the floor then it’s not difficult to do better.
