How are their cocktails? Anything special?

Ate there today. Got a po boy and wasn't impressed. Wanted something like Ragin Cajun down in Houston. My margarita was pretty terrible. The Po Boy wasn't bad, it was just meh. The etouffee my wife got was better but doubt we'll return.

Many people associate a particular cuisine with a signature dish. If a place doesn't measure up in that context, it's not unreasonable to go somewhere else.
quote:It's funny, but just the other day we saw a news story about that. Many places nowadays are intentionally making their environment more noisy. Before we heard the actual reason for it, my wife thought maybe it was to get patrons to leave earlier than they might otherwise since it's harder to just linger around talking, thus opening up that table for the next group. The real reason turned out to be the thinking is that younger patrons enjoy more of a "party" atmosphere, and that relates to a noisier environment in a restaurant or bar.
It's a fun place to go, but you're not going to be able to have a quiet conversation there.

It's usually solid logic to never return to an establishment after trying 3% of the menu

I'm definitely an old. If I have to raise my voice to carry on a conversation, that's no good. I first noticed it in bars (not clubs) more than a decade ago. The next place I noticed it was in Vegas Strip casinos. Heaven forbid we be able to carry on a conversation in a normal tone of voice like civilized people. If I want to go to a rave, I'll ask around. I'm sure that won't get any attention at all. Now, if you'll kindly get off my lawn, Judge Wapner is about to come on.
