Week of October 13 - 18

Over the past few weeks the Director and Producer of the Disney/Dreamworks movie "Secretariat" have dined with us a number of times. They let us know that the actors would begin arriving in town this past Saturday. On that very evening we had the great pleasure of meeting and serving Diane Lane, who dined on Redfish Amandine, After the Boil Salad and Cheesecake with Strawberry Margherita Sauce. She is interested in Cajun & Creole culture, loved everything she ate, and promised to be back as soon and as often as her filming schedule permits. We are hoping it is just a matter of time before we see her co-star, John Malcovich.

Fall is in the air, and that means comfort food. Our Chefs have put their spin on the classic "Coq au Vin". The result is a Rock Cornish Game Hen Slow Braised in Burgundy with Shitake Mushroom and Tasso Ragout, and accompanied by Creamy Southern Style Grits. Our seafood offering is Redfish en Papillote with Louisiana Garden Vegetables and accompanied by Roasted Pepper Linguini. This week we are also featuring a Fall favorite, Butternut Squash Soup. Our complimentary Amuse Bouche (offered Tuesday thru Thursday evenings) is an adventure in contrasting flavors and textures. Jeramie Vasseur has created the perfect amusing bight of Pear Chip with Gorgonzola, Walnut & Honey.

Come as you are. We'll take care very good care of you...
