If you're looking for a quiet restaurant, Pappadeaux isn't it. It's big, busy, and loud, especially on a Saturday night. But they know what they're doing with seafood, not surprising for a large chain, and their food is really good.
We (my sister-in-law, dh, and I) started by splitting the Pappas Greek salad, a nice mix of lettuce, veggies, olives, and shrimp with a Greek vinaigrette. It was crunchy, crispy, and a good start to our meal.
I had the Texas Redfish Pontchartrain - perfectly cooked fish with grilled shrimp, topped with crab and a delicious brown butter and white wine sauce with dirty rice on the side. My husband had the seafood tagliatelle pasta, which had a generous amount of mixed seafood and a creamy sauce. My sister-in-law had the Atlantic halibut and shrimp in a white wine herb butter sauce, with some tasty-looking crispy brussels sprouts and hazelnuts.
We all enjoyed our meals and had leftovers to take home. Given that the entrees are pretty expensive, it was nice to get two meals out of my entree. Prices are a little lower at lunch, so that might be a nice time to visit if you're on a tight budget.
Our server, Roger, was attentive and personable without hovering and took good care of us. He even gave us a free dessert since it was my and my husband's first time there. We tried the banana pudding, which is served in a canning jar and is plenty for three people.
