Apps: If you like creamy crab cakes, get them as an app. Cup of Duck and Sausage gumbo is good too, but very thick - and low and behold, its served with rice

Most everything on the menu is very good. There is nothing I can recommend that you should stay away from.

Silly man, that would be Short...... of course.

And any length rice would be better than the nothingness served at Commanders.

Good to hear. Checked out the menu. May do sea bass or duck, depending on their specials. Probably gonna stay away from their steaks unless otherwise instructed

Is that the same group that was in Metairie all those years?

That place was pretty solid but I think they went out of business a few years ago.

Yes. He also had a place in Destin. he feared that his restaurant in Lafayette was suffering, so he closed Metairie and Destin to devote his efforts solely to Lafayette. Good restaurant - great gumbo and the wood grilled fish dishes are always nice.
