Jasmines on the Bayou

Very good, can they make the leap to a bigger place? I have seen a lot of excellent small places die when they step up. I have no problem if they stay where they are, but clearly popularity breeds ambition, it should.

Yes, the rocket shrimp are powerful incentive to try them.

1/2 rocket shrimp po-boy and cup of crab and corn bisque is an addiction for me.



But not everything there is great IMO.

But has not stopped me from eating there almost weekly.

they do some catering too

i eat there about once a week or so

i've had a good bit of the menu, and its all good

spaghetti, chicken jasmine, rocket shrimp are personal favorites


i've had the hamburger steak twice and they seem to overchar it a bit...that would be my only complaint to date

yeah i went and got the stuffed mushrooms and wasn't at all impressed.

The rocket shrimp remind me of the bang bang shrimp at bonefish.

I doubt seriously that they take reservations.

Where is it located?

Ok I'm going to say they have the best crab cakes in BR. Presenation may be lacking but there is actual lump crab in the cake with awesome remoulade. I get Togo from there all the time and it is awesome. Rocket oyster poboy w/ bacon... You have no idea. Every poboysucks. Only complaint, I've had their seafood platter and the catfish always smells strange. Like imported or somehing, maybe the batter, but overall awesome. I wish they grew and had a bar. I would walk there from my apt twice a week. Chkn n sausage gumbo is solid.

I'm never been a big fan JOTB, but after reading about the crab cakes I think I'll give them another try.. After all, it has been well over a year since I've been there.

I like good crab cakes, not those shitty tasting ones that Dempsey's sells...Dempsey's taste more like a canned salmon patty than it does a crab cake.
