one of the best meals I've ever had

by addies

We had the petite taster's menu for $65. With soft drinks, tax and tip, it came out to about $85-$90 per person.

The meal was fantastic. Started out with a light salad, great citrus after taste. Then moved on to a salmon jambalaya, which was pretty good. Flavor was average, but it the salmon was perfectly cooked (real moist, not flaky at all). and then the main course was fantastic. maybe the best dish I've ever had. perfect portions. pork tenderloin on mashed potatoes, with eggplant and a balsamic vinaigrette reduction. so tasty. everyone at the table agreed. the desert was just okay for me but everyone else loved it. it was a chocolate cake, kinda dry, but the best part of it was that it was too sweet.

• Pros: food is great
• Cons: pricey but worth it

where's the heat?

by dallas_foodie

based on emeril's nawlins roots and notable catch-phrase (bam!), we expected a lot more heat in the menu items. instead the menu was surprisingly ambitious and bland at the same time. the tai snapper special, for example, featured a cacophony of salmon roe, pickled mushrooms, beets and gnocchi. the fish itself was tasteless and undercooked, and the roe should have been left out of the dish altogether. the wine list was excessively huge (read: war and peace) and probably could have been pared down for this kind of menu.

• Pros: huge wine list (could be pro or con in this case)
• Cons: surprisingly bland and overly ambitious menu
