Review content: 
I am from New Orleans and stuck here in NYC for a few months for work. So I know my NOLA cuisine, & was looking for a little taste of home. I hate to be negative and don't want to sound stuckup, but this place really dissapointed me all around. First of all, the service was sloooow as can be. Seemed like they were understaffed for Friday night at 8PM, the bartender doubled as waitress and there was one other server, who also looked like the manager. It's a small, cozy space, good for a date, candlelight etc, maybe 15 tables or so. It took forever to place the order, even longer to get drinks. The food came out reasonably quickly. Overall, the food was mediocre and overpriced .At least they had Abita beer. (although it took so long to get to the table that it was warm.) I ordered shrimp etoufee which was... I don't know. not etouffee. The shrimp were tiny and overcooked, really chewy and flavorless. There were only 6 of them! I know this is NYC, but for $14, you'd get 3x that many in the real dish. also the color, flavor & texture were all wrong... the roux was way dark (etouffee starts w/a medium roux the color of a paper bag & final product should be the color of pumpkin, this was gumbo colored) and bland, and the rice was dirty rice instead of white - it just didn't mesh. My date got the jambalaya which is a tough dish to screw up. It's a cajun concotion of dirty rice + usually sausage, chicken, sometimes seafood. IN New Orleans they use andouille sausage, sorta spicy like chorizo. This sausage though was just everyday, bland. And instead of bits of darkmeat chicken there was just a chicken thigh sitting on top.not a big deal but its not jambalaya... like when people call an apple martini a martini. A variation, not the real deal. In summary: maybe for someone with lower expectations, Stan's would be OK, but I don't think it's authentic, I wouldn't go back & certainly can't recommend. Pros: romantic, good to see creole restaurants in nyc Cons: not authentic, overpriced, no oysters, bad service
