    Specialty drinks, ask for the Taste of Louisiana and the Seafood Gumbo if you're a newcomer. :)

    Try the fried spinach! It's fried and so adds some grease to your diet, but it's tasty and the texture is one-of-a-kind!

    Had "a taste of Louisiana" Rice was mush, jambalaya tastes like it had been sitting all day, and the gumbo was soup. The best thing on the plate was the fried shrimp. Thumbs down, wannabe bayou.

    First time they had the regular brunch menu. Not a bad spot if the wait at capital club 16 is too long for weekend brunch.
