text: If the ambience were better this would be a star review You are essentially sitting in a mall whether you are sitting in the outdoor indoor space or inside the gatesnnThe service was attentive and friendlynnThe boston lettuce salad with chive buttermilk dressing was good although ironically for all the bitching Emeril does on Top Chef about lack of seasoning there was virtually no seasoning in the dressing or on the salad After adding salt and pepper it was a lovely salad with heirloom radishes and bacon although there could have been more of bothnnMy husband very much enjoyed his margarita pizza Great crust and flavorful and fresh tomato sauce with quality cheesennThe chicken and andouille sausage gumbo was the best I have had I have not been to NOLA The rice was perfectly cooked and a perfect amount of it The gravy was dark brown spicy and had a perfect medium body texture to it Yum I would eat that every daynnId say to skip the banana cream pie too many thick sliced bananas cream was too thick and whipped cream on top was flavorless Cannot hold a candle to Tom Douglass coconut cream pie now THAT is a cream pie
