Laurel Oak - New Orleans

Good decor and ambience, but everything else falls short. 2 of our 4 ducks were wrong, and a duck came 20 minutes after the first 3. The crispy cauliflower appetizer was pure mosh for texture, although the taste was decent. I felt bad for the bartender who also doubled as waiter for most of the restaurant, as the other waitress seemed confused and confused.

Service was very slow for a nearly empty night. The margarita and old fashioned were very weak so we switched to red wine which was chilled....and then the food finally came out after we finished 3 drinks when we ordered before even getting the first drink. The fish was supposedly red fish but was so small for $34. When I first saw it I immediately said I'm sending it back. The waitress said she would comp it. I ate one of the 2 sides and one bite of fish that I literally had to spit out it because it was soooo bad. My friend ordered the hangar steak medium and it was rare. When we finally got the bill she only took 20% off my meal and I told her it was wrong but didn't have time to wait for a fix. I would never recommend this for lace for food or drinks!

They were out of several menu items, and the service was incredibly slow (there were three waiters/bartenders and only five parties four of which were two tops and the fifth was a party of four . Even the menu items that they did have were being made with substituted items (catfish instead of red snapper, cornbread muffins instead of skillet cornbread, etc. .

Service was great as we were the only ones in there. Food was not very good at all. We both didn’t eat much of it.

Small Plates great. Large plates mixed Server Michelle was great.
