This year, I decided to try a different restaurant that is included under Landry's to use my $25 birthday reward. I chose this location, and yes, I will go again.
The only part that could be better is greeting. I stood in the front for 6 minutes before the hostess came to seat me. Now, it would be better if the two waiters that passed by me would have at least said hi. I saw the hostess near the bar with 3 other staff, and again, one of them could have at least said hi when I came in.
Now on to the food and my waiter. The waiter kindly came to the table and spoke nicely. He asked if I wanted a drink, I said no, and he said we have a pumpkin spice martini. Then, instantly, I changed my mind and took the martini because I like pumpkin spice. It was so good.
Before he took my order, I asked him if he needed my phone number to get my birthday reward he said yes, and he kindly wished me happy birthday.
I ordered the Salmon and Shrimp Brochette that came with jambalaya rice, I also ordered a side of brussel sprouts. The salmon, shrimp, zucchini, and squash were so tasteful and nicely flavored and grilled. The brussel sprouts were good and baked well. The jambalaya tasted more like rice pilaf, which was fine to me because sometimes jambalaya at other restaurants is a bit spicy.
The waiter came to check if everything was good, and I asked for a to go box. He then surprisingly said, "Is today your birthday I told him it was actually last month, and he said, "That's okay. We will still give you a free dessert. That was so nice and made me happy, and I was able to get it to go.
Landry's list this restaurant as an upscale fine dining, but it is more causal. I appeared overdressed, which is not a problem for me because I had just came from a stage show, but other guests wore shorts, jeans, and very casual attire.
