We had friendly and competent service. The atmosphere was fine but the food was the weakest part of our experience.
We ordered the gumbo, bbq shrimp, shrimp bienville, fresh oysters, and signature grilled redfish. The first thing I noticed was how fast the appetizers came. It appears that these were prepared ahead of time and kept warm because they were slightly dried out and luke warm at best.
The bbq shrimp had a soggy coating that tasted like Buffalo wings sauce especially with the blue cheese dressing. The shrimp was rather small too. 2/10
The shrimp bienville had better flavour with the mushroom purée. Maybe it would be better hotter and less congealed. 4/10
Turns out I much prefer West Coast oysters. 5/10
The gumbo was fine. The alligator sausage tasted like any chorizo. The Gumbo Shop has a far superior gumbo. 5/10
The redfish was more flavourful with a small amount of crab meat. Not worth $39 though. 6/10
