Jacques-Imo’s Café - New Orleans

Eat and atmosphere are fantastic! they'll get the cheesecake and bbq garnel. a little expensive, but you have a lot to eat. the entire staff is very friendly and attractive, would each of them.

Our dinner began with a free cornbread it was slightly sweet. to good wise. we had 2 appetizers, the “SHRIMP alligator sausage CHEESECAKE” and the “FRIED green TOMATOES”. the fried green tomatoes were good, but the garnelen alligator sausage cheesecake was the obvious winner, please order this for the table! then the dinner began with the free “house spinat salad”. my escape was the “CRAWFISH ETOUFFÉE” it was great, it was almost like a suppe. someone at the table had the “Stuffed Catfish” and it was the winner of the table. our dessert was free and we had the brotpudding and crème brûlée. bread pudding was the winner of a dessert. our server were nice and kept our glasses full. the food came quickly and we took 30 minutes before our reservation. I would definitely recommend to stop when they have time.

I was not super impressed by this place and was a little surprised at the high reviews. the restaurant is sweet, and very come as they are. first we were insecure when we had to dress. but we were good with jeans and some birks. when they are in the bar that has a lot of cool stuff to see. we waited about 30 minutes for a table for two on Thursday nights. the host was efficient, not super friendly. our waitress was friendly and explained all the specialties and went over the menu. The seats are super lined together. there is not much space to move around or get out of their chair, and the bathroom is interesting. make sure it's good to lock it because it's a little funny. we ordered their drink on special, which was a fresh watermelonenmule. it had a weak watermelon taste and watered wodka. it sounded good, and maybe had potential, but it wasn't done well. the maisbrotmuffins they bring were pretty good, heavy on the butter, but good. we also ordered the fried green tomato, which were the best part of the meal. but tomaten are one of my favourites, so we also ordered the nola style bbq shrimp, the whole garnelen over rice. That was okay. the garnels were a little gumy, but overall the taste was good. we also ordered one of the special ones that was a whole soft bowl crab with other things - that was decent and much eating. overall we have disappointed. this place was super hyped up and maybe our expectations were too high.

You could not hear the person next to you, it was so loud and loud. loud of all restaurants. my black redfish was good. duck was good. stuffed wels was good. the place is full of color and clutter and noise. a fun place if they don't want to talk to their ess companions. go through the bar to the table. funky. there is even a table outside in the back of a pickup truck.

I think my expectations were a little bit high for this restaurant based on the reviews and the feedback from my friend. I just feel like the overall theme was not very appealing to me with the lack of presentation, subpar service, and older style of dishes. We came exactly at 5:00 PM and did not have to wait or have a reservation. We just walked in with a crowd and were seated immediately. We got the rack of lamb, snails, and rabbit. All of the food was fairly good but nothing to write home about.
