Gouter Mid city BR Lunch Review

I hit up Wadsworth's new restaurant, Gouter, pronounced Goo Tay. It means "to taste". The atmosphere is nice. The kitchen is open to a bar for seating. There is a side bar area for waiting and drinks. I wanted to wait a bit so they could get the kinks worked out but I went anyway. Jay Ducote was up in there getting Schmoozed by the chef.

For now, they are only open for lunch. I really like the menu. It consists of small plates, salads/soups, entrees and desserts.

I ordered a bunch of small plates for the table but I forgot to take a bunch of pics

shrimp tacos were very good


duck three ways was a deviled egg with a cracklin on top



Also had the crawaffle. It was syrup, beurre blanc and crawfish tails on a waffle. Not bad.

For Entree, I decided to get the venison hot dog. do not get this. It was not good. Link was thin and their coleslaw was hard to eat and pedestrian.



Several of the guys at our table got the Burger. They were not impressed. Too much bread was the general complaint. One guy got the plate lunch special (smothered chicken). He liked it.

Service was weird but that is to be expected in their first week. It was a little slow. the main complaint is that their iced tea pitchers had no ice, so we were refilled with warm tea multiple times. I think the place will be good after awhile but I'm going to wait a bit and let them sort out their issues with service and quality.
