Businiess name:  ROUX
Review by:  citysearch c.
Review content: 
I'm not usually inclined to write reviews, but I felt the one titled "Mess" on Roux was unfair, and then I read how the author has reviewed previous restaurants, and it made more sense-- they clearly aren't happy eating out. I have even reviewed Roux before, but I thought since I've just eaten there again, it couldn't hurt and this is why. I have been trying to find places that remind me of my favorites back home-- and I'm always skeptical of trying Creole, Cajun, or "New Orleans" fare outside of Louisiana. But now having tried most of the places here in town (Acadia, Screen Door, Bernie's, Delta and Roux), I have to say this place is my favorite. One of the things that I think folks do too much is the "in your face" spice-- when not all Creole food is spicy. Seasoned, and seasoned well, yes. But fire-- not so much (of course there is time for that too). Creole foods are about flavor and great, fresh ingredients. At Roux, everything just always seems right-- spice and seasoning, homemade ingredients (they make all there own sausages, and the andouille is some of the best), a nod to both classic dishes (I had the Chicken Clemenceau on my last visit that was as good as the version at Arnaud's) and interesting renditions that are both NW and New Orleans inspired (and if you've been to August, Palace, NOLA you know this is what they are now doing). The red beans during the last visit tasted as if they were right from K-Paul's. At some of the places above (and I won't be too specific, you should try for yourself), I've had gumbo that was separated, blackening seasoning that could burn the roof of your mouth, overly salted and greasy foods, bland grits (now how hard is that), rubbery shrimp and more-- framed with indifferent service. I've just always enjoyed the food and drinks at Roux, the staff is always lovely, the space is charming, and in addition to all the food talk above-- the brunch is one of the best deals in town. It makes me feel like I'm home! Pros: The real deal! Cons: Not closer to downtown.
