N'awlins

For our first outing, we decide to check out the Entertainment District along King st. We settled on N'awlins that specializes in New Orleans and Southern inspired cuisine. It was still just warm enough for us to sit outside on their sidewalk patio. We enjoyed martinis as it was Martini Tuesday and they had a nice martini menu for a feature price that day. For dinner, Chela chose the French Quarter Fusilli Grilled shrimp with roasted red peppers tossed in olive oil with garlic, shallots & white wine, and I enjoyed the Seafood Dream Linguini with tiger shrimp, calamari, scallops, mussels & baby clams in a fresh basil white wine tomato sauce.

To be quite honest, I was expecting more flavour than what I got (especially for the generous price), and the service was horrendous. But the venue was nice enough, and though we weren't there late enough in the evening, the live music they offer nightly would probably be worth catching.

History

When my aunt Chela and I found we were both working in downtown Toronto this Autumn, we decided we should try to get together often and go for dinners after work. We've since found ourselves checking out a new restaurant each month and thought it would be a good idea to document them for our own memories, and to share them with you! We truly welcome any recommendations!

Cheers
