DINNER AT JACQUES IMO'S


K has been having a bad week (I know... it's only Monday) so I took her to one of my favorite restaurants, JACQUES IMO'S!  K has never eaten there so she didn't really know what to expect.  We got there at 6 and there was already a 30-45 minute wait.  K was shocked there was a wait on a Monday.  But yes folks, it's that good!  We ended up foregoing the wait and grabbing a table in the bar area.

A friendly waiter took care of us and explained the menu to K.  I ordered the Eggplant Pirogue and K ordered the Crab Meat Stuffed Catfish.  Our waiter brought out some garlic cornbread and spinach salads with a fried oyster on top and worcester raspberry vinaigrette house dressing.


Then our main courses came out.  Here is mine...


This is K's...


We only ate about half of our entrees and barely touched our sides of greens, stewed cabbage, shoestring fries, and potato salad.  Our waiter, buttering us up for a good tip, brought us two small cheesecake squares. He said that nobody ever has room for dessert but he still wants his patrons to know how good it is.  Sorry no pics of the cheesecake, but it didn't pose long enough ;). We had a great time and K has already picked her meal out for next time (Shrimp & Alligator Cheesecake).
