I ate here last Saturday, October 22nd, 2004. Managed to snag a rezzie for 7:30 on a rather crowded weekend. Following is my review.
The setting is absolutely beautiful and is very romantic. The restaurant is themed to be alongside a river in the bayou, with a large tree off to the left with paper lanterns strung out above the tables. Remember this is the restaurant you see as you pass by in your boat on the POTC ride. So occasionally you will hear people screaming.
I can't recommend the food here. Upon being seated, I ordered the chef's special which was a fisherman's platter type dish. Fried shrimp, calamari, grilled shrimp, salmon with rice pilaf and vegetables. We were served rolls, and I have this unscientifc theory that if the place has good bread or rolls, the food will be good. The rolls were cold. And by cold I mean fresh from the fridge. The clam chowder was good. Not the best, but it wasn't bad. The fisherman's platter was terrible. The fried shrimp and calamari was cold and chewy. The salmon was totally dried out. I could tell they had prepared tons of it and let if under a heating light. Vegetables were very bland and the rice pilaf was cold and bland as well.
The wait person was very nice and very professional. Nothing spectacular.
Overall, I found my dining experience here to be very disappointing. I'm happy I went because I can say I've eaten there, but other than the beautiful surroundings there isn't much for me to recommend it.
