The service was top notch. Cozy environment which is perfect after a day of skiing. Most importantly, the food was amazing. Had the Creole poutine and the beef goulash, which was on special. The blackened chicken sandwich was highly rated by a friend too.
Had the banana bread pudding and pistachio cheesecake for dessert. 10/10 for both.
Our party of 4 sat in the bar area to watch the game. Wish the TV wasn’t as loud, but that’s probably the only tiny drawback from our experience.
Started with the tasty poutine that maintained its crisp just enough under the cheese gravy with some soft, saucy bites mixed in. We also devoured the melt-in-your-mouth brussel sprouts. The rest of our party had burgers as mains, which I think they liked. I was too busy relishing the bowl of gumbo and shrimp and grits to notice.
Gumbo was rich but balanced. The kind of flavor you can keep eating and not get tired of. No salt lick feeling on my tongue at the end of the bowl, which I often get from other gumbos.
Not sure if the shrimp in the grits was blackened, but it was seasoned strongly to give some kick yet balanced, again. Both the shrimp and grits were cooked perfectly – some bite on outside and plumpness on the inside.
I like trying desserts at restaurants, and Toulouse’s pistachio cheesecake didn’t disappoint. I regret only ordering 1 piece for 4 of us to share, but I don’t think any number of slices would be enough. The strawberry coulis balanced (again) the fluffy, nuttiness of the pistachio cheesecake. Delicious.
I forgot to take pictures of the drinks, but all cocktails we had were great. I enjoyed the lavender French 75 enough to order twice. I tried some of the Naked & Famous, and although I don’t love mezcal, it was one of the better mezcal cocktails I remember.
From start to finish, service was warm and friendly. I actually felt like they were genuinely happy we came. It was such a strong impression that everyone commented on it as we dined. Shout out to our waitress, who I think was Alex. Gracious and attentive, like everyone else we met.
I will admit the price seemed a little steep, but after we finished, I can confidently say the quality and execution were worth it. This place was so good, someone asked if they’re a chain because they want to eat it again without having to drive for hours. Fortunately and unfortunately, they’re not, so visit if you’re in the area.
The food was delicious! I didn’t expect to enjoy the shrimp dish so much. Slightly spicy and seasoned well. The French toast was amazing although, one slice was very VERY chewy. Maybe an older piece of bread snuck it’s way into the batter?
We ordered extra food to bring to the kids at home in Meyers. They were pleased. We would absolutely visit again.
Our group reached a little early before noon and the gentleman welcoming us was ready to shift the kitchen to lunch service – customer champ 101 !!
Our hostess took our order and answered all our questions 🙂
The blackened chicken sandwich, Brussel sprouts & shrimp with gumbo was superb !
