I have been a regular customer here since they opened this location. I have to admit, the new preparations of their traditional items doesn't thrill me. Way too many things added to the main entree. The beauty of their food was its southern simplicity. With the new preparations, there a ton of stuff added (e.g., their trout entree with away too much fennel; or the new egg white frittata--way too many things added; or the chicken livers with sweet potatoes). While the new preparations are "just okay", I find myself looking for other restaurant options where I don't have to experiment with new preparations of my favorite items.

This was my first time visiting Crescent City Kitchen, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I came for brunch and had the Banana Foster Croffle with Chicken Tenders, which was absolutely delicious. We started our meal with the VooDoo Rolls, and they did not disappoint. The service was outstanding, thanks to Jamiyah, and the warm, inviting ambiance made the experience even better. Brianna greeted us at the door with a heartfelt welcome, setting the tone for a wonderful visit. I’ll definitely be returning to try their dinner menu!

Our server Philip was outstanding. He knew the menu and was helpful with giving recommendations. We absolutely loved the fried green tomatoes. My husband had the shrimp and grits which she said was delicious. The sauce is very good and flavorful without being overpowering and I did the fried chicken. The mashed potatoes were excellent, and the chicken was juicy yet still crispy as well. Definitely a date night and it was decorated beautifully for Christmas. We will be back.
