Liked the original on Wabash? for its originality and authenticity. Now that its new and sparkling, the food is still good, but the mood is diminished. more

We've been to New Orleans many times, and this is great gumbo. Thick and rich, with chicken and andouille. Appropriately spicy. I had etouffee with chicken, sausage, and shrimp served over cornbread.
