Review content:
This was my first dinner at Roux last night. For a Thursday night 6:30, it wasn't busy at all. In general the food was ok. I ordered the hush puppies: 6 nice sized puppies. Dark golden brown in color and cooked to perfection. It didn't have much of a jalapeno flavor. I tried it first without the dipping sauce, but the remaining 5 had to be eaten with the sauce to give it a more well rounded flavor. The Crawfish pie that the server recommended was very good. We found that the crust was a bit bland and dry, but it worked fine with the filling. I had the jambalaya which had zero chorizo, two small pieces of duck, and 3 shrimp. And the portion was very, very small for an entree. My bf had the pork chop with oyster stuffing. The pork was over cooked just a bit, but the stuffing was good. We ordered three sides as well: whipped potatoes (which were mashed, not whipped), collard greens (slightly undercooked and the pieces were huge!), beets and turnips (no complaints there, shock!). For dessert, we had the Chocolate Nightcap and the Almond Cake. The chocolate "torte", if you will, was way too rich. The white chocolate coating on top was too thick. It looked like it had been frozen and pulled out just long enough to be served. My fork made a loud "clunk" when i tried to break into it at the first bite. I had imagined that it was going to be a chocolate espresso cake of sorts. But the espresso part was a shot with ice cream in it. The Almond Cake on the other had was pretty good. The ice cream portion was a little heavy on the almond extract flavoring. But overall the sour cherries and the cake and the ice cream was a nice balance to the whole dish. I can't really complain about the service. Our server was always at the ready, but not standing over us the whole night either. As it got later, the noise level increased. Not a great place for quiet and romantic. And the price was moderately expensive for two people, after two beers, two glasses of wine and a cup of coffee.
Pros: Nice sampling of French-Creole cuisine, good list of libations
Cons: Loud, inconsistent cooking temps
