We stopped at the host stand and were told that we couldn't be seated yet, but there was a bar we could wait at. This place was a perfect refuge from the noise and madness of the French Quarter.
I had a cocktail, and Heather had a mocktail with mint and lime. It was nice, and we looked at my posts from our last cruise. We were sitting next to the wait station at the bar and observed a situation where the customer ordered a rosè and the bartender poured a white wine. I commented that if they just put a splash of grenadine in the, it would pass. The guy said that he worked on Bourbon Street for years, and that is what they would do! And no one ever noticed. The wine didn't go to waste--he gave it to me! I had him add a splash of grenadine for good measure.
We were seated about 5 minutes after our 8:15pm reservation. We had menus at the bar and already knew what we wanted. Our server, Trevor, was very nice. I started with 4 oysters, each of the Gulf Coast ones. Then I did two other appetizers -- escargo and patè. Both were meant to share, so it was a bit too much. Heather had a salad, roasted veggies, and a bun-less burger and fries. We chatted and bit with the folks next to us about how time flies. They were college friends.
I ended up taking most of my patè home with.me. The walk home was blissfully short and we went straight to bed!Læs mere
