A little bit of New Orleans in Des Moines, IA!
The wait staff was very attentive and although the food came out in a bit of confused order it was delicious.
I think they should redo the flooring as the Mrs and I both caught our foot a couple of times. The rest of the decor is what I'd call understated but yet just enough.
We had the Appetizer Sampler of Red Beans & Rice, Ettofea, Gumbo, and Jumbalai...all very good and Spi-C! The Blackened Chicken Strips and the Smothered Catfish were delicious...the Cajun Green Beans are now some of my favorites.
Wanted to order the Alligator Boudin Balls but they were out.
The gentleman was about ready to begin playing some blues tunes as we were leaving (the Mrs had to be at work pretty early and it's a couple hour drive for us) his warm up was sounding gooood so I hope that we get the opportunity to hear him at a later date.
