Jacquesimo's

We went here celebrating Quack's birthday. Quack lives with Fashionista and she's a born and raised N'awlins girl. So Jacquesimo's was the perfect pick.
The decor is pretty plain, with various Louisiana knick-knacks and things hanging from the walls. There's an outdoor "deck" that branches off the main dining room which I still have yet to sit in.

Dinner entrees seemed a little over-priced. You'll end up paying mostly for the bottomless plates of cornbread sprinkled with garlic. One would think at a place with a Cajun rep they'd have a killer shrimp dish, but the barbecue shrimp was very bland and disappointing. I glanced over at Fashionista's dinner- the acorn squash entree -and wished I had ordered the same. I couldn't say no to the fried green tomatoes, which were sweet and crispy. The highlights of dinner for me were the Cajuntinis- a must, if you 're a green pepper kind of person. They were spicy with a serious kick! And the warm corn bread served on plates with an olive oil, garlic, and minced green pepper dipping tray. I couldn't get enough of this...

The staff was so-so, maybe we caught them on a bad day. In honor of my many New Orleans friends, I think I need to give Jacquesimo's another try...
