My first visit to this restaurant was before an Oilers game with a friend. We happened upon a large banner advertising this place and having nowhere else to go, we thought we would give it a try.
Needless to say, we were not disappointed.
That first night, I ordered the blackened catfish. I love fish and often order kinds that I have not tried before. This was excellent fish. Well cooked and seasoned.
Other dishes I have ordered include the Steamboat Jambalaya (pictured).
A spicy dish that will test the limits of your appetite. Crab, Mussels, shrimp, sausage and whitefish all make this dish very fulfilling. The hush puppies add a little flavour as well.
If you really want to try something different, their Shrimp,Crawfish and Salmon Boudin Sausages are well worth it. They are made in-house, very delicate sausages (as all boudins should be) and served with a lemon-pernod lobster cream sauce.
I've tried Daily Specials and never been disappointed. Often wishing that they were features on the menu.
The ambiance is great for a Cajun-Creole restaurant. They have great music playing, friendly staff, a wall of hot sauce.
Its often busy around dinnertime and will take reservations. The owner himself often is walking around checking up on the patrons, and all of the staff is very friendly.
Honestly, I can't say anything negative about this restaurant. It is a go-to place for myself in Edmonton and I will drive well out of the way to eat here.
Up next, I explore a little in BC. The Hilltop Cafe in Langley, BC
