Grilled Watermelon Salad, Buttermilk Vinaigrette, Goat Cheese, Cherry Tomatoes, Watermelon Coulis (juice from the watermelon)
Blackened Catfish, smoothered in "Slap Yo' Momma" spices. Potato wedges and asparagus.
This is a great restaurant. I had put off going because it is more pricey, but "you do get what you pay for", and we did. The meal was superb! Watermelon salad alone sounds fine but, broiled and a dash of salt over the sweet watermelon, well....it was amazing....I've got to find the receipe, I'm even dreaming of it. I don't remember eating goat cheese before, I have always had feta, so what a nice change. This cheese has a smooth, gentle sharp flavour, with a hint of old. Now Catfish, there is a new experience; I feel a southern drawl coming on. Any fears I had was immediately gone with the first bite. This is a gentle white fish, easy on the palate and stomach. The crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside potatoes were the best and asparagus cooked perfectly not stringy, thank you.
SERVICE: The server was knowledgable and attended to our needs often.
QUALITY: The tastes were wonderful, rich flavours. The spices were a guarded secret except for "lots of garlic"; you've got to love any spice that's named "slap yo' momma".
ATMOSPHERE: We choice a dark and stormy night, typical for Saint John, so yes our corner of Bourbon Quarter was quiet and inviting. This is another historic building, well renovated to fit the name.
VALUE: Higher then average prices and worth it.
Would I pay a return visit: Can't wait for a return visit.
