Came during Winterlicious 2017 for dinner. Reservations were made, and the person at the door promptly seated me with the rest of the group.They have an open kitchen facing the street, so if you’re passing by you can see great food being prepared. They offer vegan and vegetarian options for those that have dietary concerns, so that’s a plus. The lighting is dim, there are christmas lights hung everywhere, candles and lamps on the tables. Lots of interesting decor and ornaments placed all over the room.In terms of service, everything is very procedural. Our waiter started by taking orders for drinks. 10 minutes later, he came to take orders for apps and entrees. Another 10 minutes later, the apps were served up for everyone at the same time. The dishes are taken away only when everyone is finished.After 20 minutes, the entrees came out. However, one of the guests at our table had to wait another 15 minutes before their dish came out (it was from a vegan dish from a separate menu, so that may have been a factor). As a result, we ended up waiting a much longer time before we were able to put in orders for desserts because every person had to finish their dishes before they would proceed to the next course.Because dessert orders are taken at the end, we had to wait another 10 minutes before the desserts arrived. And when the desserts arrived, some people got spoons and some people got forks for the same dish, which is a bit weird. Did they just run out of utensils?In terms of food, it was great. I ordered the Gumbo, the Bayou Chicken, and the Bread Pudding. Everything had a lot of flavour, and the portions weren’t too bad. The chicken entree came with two large pieces of boneless thighs, and the meat was quite tender. The skin was moist because there was a lot of sauce poured on top; wonder how it would’ve tasted if it was crispier instead.In total, we spent close to 3 hours at the restaurant, which is a bit too much. The restaurant was not that busy, and they had 3 waiters going around. There’s definitely a lot of downtime, and if anything happens that causes delays (people showing up fashionably late, ordering items that end up taking twice as long to make, etc), you’re going to be waiting much longer. However, if everything is completed in a timely manner, then it would probably be a much better experience. It may better to come in smaller groups. thatumbrellaguy.com
Loved the old location, so when I found out through a friend it had reopened in a place right by us, we had to check it out. Food is as good as ever (and that hot sauce, wow!) But the actual decor was disappointing. The place went from looking like it was straight out of Bourbon Street in the old location to looking like a basic strip mall joint in the new. Did they lose all their stuff in the move? Hopefully I can chalk it up to a soft opening, and that they’ll be adding decor soon enough. Cuz as it stands now, it feels like it’s lacking a soul.
Went here for my birthday dinner and let me say, it was the best. Real, amazing, and delicious Cajun/Creole food. And the biggest oysters you ever had. Great food and great atmosphere. Another hidden gem from The Annex that you just have to be
Heard this restaurant is closing by the end of the year. Turns out they are actually relocating (TBA). Arrived during happy hour and took advantage of buck a shuck oysters, corn bread, fried calamari and their ‘famous’ Burbon lemonade. Appetizers were good, especially the corn bread and calamari. Was looking forward to the Jambalaya and Blackened chicken. VERY disappointed with the entres… The flavours were all wrong (can’t even describe -weird sweet sauce served with the chicken). Surprisingly good reviews for this restaurant??? I don’t agree. Would return only for the cocktail – if even.
Find yourself under a spell as you enter through the restaurant. Go out on the patio and find yourself in the secret garden. Whether it is the bourbon sours, the Cajun Jambalaya, the dance-of-the-dead ambiance or the jazz music, something about this place feels just…magical.
Used a travelzoo deal and it was well worth it. Blackened lamb, ribs, chicken livers, desserts – all great! Would recommend and return for their $30 price fixe.
This was my first experience with Cajun food and I’m really glad I chose this place. When I first stepped in, It felt like I was walking through an old house in the French Quarter, and the patio was beautiful. All the staff members were really friendly and their recommendations helped a lot when coming to what to orderI went during a half offappetizers night, so I got hush puppies and gumbo. It was a little spicier than what I’m use to, which is normal for Cajun food. After my mouth built up a tolerance to it, the food was very delicious.Would recommend
