Was ok. Waiting hours on my $120 lobster when my whole table had been served with no discount. I've always had great service, but this was the worse. For a Birthday dinner.

Seemed like a glorified "high price" fast food joint. The atmosphere was amazing. So beautiful and they actually have gas flame lanterns lighting the dinning area. Maybe for a Friday they were busy, yet the beard I was served was stale, the butter was still frozen, they brought it on a "not clean" and took several minutes to return with a clean plate. The catfish had more cheap store bought coating than actual fish (at least that all I could taste). The fries were Luke warm and soggy.
The place was extremely loud to the point of almost not being able to hear the staff. The door staff seemed to care less about greeting guest and doing what ever their devices were telling them.
I was visiting from out of town, and this place came highly recommended via my hotel. If you do decide to venture here, hopefully you will have a better experience than I.
I hoping this was just a one off incident, yet I will never know.

For being a seafood restaurant and serving so much seafood, receiving a rancid piece of $50 fish is not acceptable. The calamari appetizer was good but I will not go back. Sent the food back and didnt get an apology or even get approached by management.

Horrible service at the bar. If I could give zero stars I would. Micah and Ms. Allison were horrible bartenders. I guess they wasn’t interested in waiting on us. They worked all around us and not one time did they ask us if we needed anything or if we were ok. Anything we wanted we had to ask them for it. We had drinks and if we wanted another we had to flag them down. People were coming in after us and got good service including food and drinks and they were very attentive to them. When we was ready to go we sat there and waited and they never gave us our check. A manager walked by and we asked her if she could give us our check because we were ready to go. We explained to her that we had been there a long time and all we wanted was our check because the bartenders never acknowledged us anymore after we got our drink when we first got there.

We ordered crab fingers for an appetizer and they were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Even though they arrived after our entree. The entree came out super fast even before the appetizer and our salad but everything was delicious. Zach was a great waiter. Very disappointed that they had a kids menu for my kids to color but did not have crayons. My 3yo was very disappointed. They would have had fun coloring and doing the activities. My husband said that in other Pappadeaux's they bring out bread to everyone but they didn't here. The bacon the house salad was super crunchy and delicious. Will definitely order again.
