I am not ever going to order from Moolight Cafe again. First I order a $10 hamburger. It arrives cold
with none of the toppings that distinguish it from their cheapest burgers and almost an hour after it was ordered. I am told that a replacement would arrive with in 30 minutes. It is an hour and a half later and several promises of 30-45 minutes later it has not arrived. I have a session coming and they still claim that the replacement burger is on it’s way.
This is not the only order I have made from Moonlight Cafe that has gone arye. I have ordered their hummus before only to have it be rancid.
For a town that is supposed to have the best food and restruants I have had the worst dining experiences of my life here. To mention but a few…I have had to re-order the same sandwich 3 times in one evening because it was supposed to come with chicken on it and the cook must have been a vegitarian. This was a shame coming from a restruant that rarely ever does me wrong…Cafe Roma.
I went to Tujaque’s on Decatur in the Quarter. They charged us $75 per person with out drinks, and brought out dried over-boiled brisket, the noodles were obviously sitting on the stove for a long time and excessively swollen, and the crawfish was Chinese crawfish and had freezer burn.
And I don’t even know where to begin with O’Henry’s greasy dishes, and St. Charles Tavern.
I had a super terrible experience at a sushi bar in Pensacola. We went to Hot Rock Sushi and spent $80’s only to have the rice be blech! The rolls were coated in sauces that weren’t complimentary to the taste of the fish at all, and the rolls on the menu were hardly any identifiable type of sushi at all. It was a case of people trying too hard to show off with sauces rather than understanding that a lot of the beauty of sushi is the simplicity, fresh, clean taste and texture, much less the health.
I wasn’t impressed with Marisol’s durring the Food and Wine event one year, but it wasn’t repulsive. It was a special event sponsored by the Vineyards and wine distributors, yet the food came out in spoonful’s for each corse. Literally it was in a spoon, and that was all you got. How cheap can you be when we were paying about $125 per person!
I am forgetting so many restruants I have ordered from in the last 4 years that I have just refused to eat more than the first bite due to it’s putrid flavor, or poor quality. It’s a shame when you spend over $100 on dinner and wish that you had stuck to a 99 cent burger.
On the other hand, some of my best experiences in eating in town have been The Emeril’s restraunts, Uglich’s, Christian’s, Palace Cafe, Gallatoir’s, Reginelli’s, Angelli’s, and of course all the sushi bar’s that I can’t possibly live life with out.
All this just makes me long for tomorrow to hurry up so I can have dinner on the balcony of Palace Cafe on Canal Street, during the parade.
