It definitely wasn't on the menu, so I can't verify if that was ever true or not. I really like cajun food, but he'd never tried it before & ended up really enjoying it. I got a chicken caesar salad & a mojito, while he got the chicken & shrimp jambalaya with a side of fries. The french fries were really good, really delicate & crispy, & the jambalaya was great. The shrimp & sausage were seasoned really well, & the vegetables weren't too overcooked or mushy. My salad tasted really nice, & I particularly enjoyed the pickled red onions & croutons. Unfortunately though, I found the dressing to be just a bit too heavy on the salad, leaving it noticeably oily in my mouth, so I didn't finish it. The chicken on top was really great, it was sliced into long strips & was very crispy & flavourful. Considering adding chicken costed about 10 dollars, I'm happy they didn't skimp on the portion size because I would've probably left hungry otherwise. Maybe it's because I don't drink alcohol too often, but my drink kind of confused me. I did read that the mojito had tonic water instead of club soda, but the quinine taste (which i usually love) reminded me almost of fish while I drank. I considered trying to mix the drink a little to disperse the soda more evenly, but the inclusion of like, 2 whole stalks of mint made me not want to stir it up to avoid drinking a bunch of leaves. As I continued the drink I was less bothered by the flavour, as I approached the sweetener at the bottom. It wasn't terrible but the first few sips were definitely offputting. The server we had was great, really friendly & accommodating. The interior is very cozy & the aesthetic choices made are bold & unique. The actual space inside is very small from what I can tell, & they use it well. I appreciate that the washrooms are solo with a shared sink/mirror to maximize space while still being private.
An absolute hidden gem! This establishment has it all. The ambiance is warm, welcoming & the staff are way above par. (Merci, mille fois, Martine!) The food? Way above average. We started with cocktails, I discovered the "Banana Bomb" , an adult version of a banana popsicle, it was wonderful. My husband went with a spicy Caesar & reported it exceeded his expectations. For an appetizer, I chose the crab cakes. Seasoned to perfection, 2 clouds of crab heaven, the presentation was such that I hesitated to dig in. They were light in texture & prepared just so amazingly, I contemplated ordering more however, our entrées were on their way. My husband chose the Creole shrimp & rice, I went with a fried shrimp dish & a sweet potato fries side. The shrimps were huge & so tender. My dish was again, seasoned & prepared perfectly. My husband was also very impressed with the seasoning & texture of his as well.
Now to the nitty-gritty; the prices are more than reasonable & combined with the ambiance, welcoming staff & exceptional dishes, this is a "MUST VISIT" for all fans of Cajun/Créole cuisine.
