I like this restaurant, but it feels a bit overpriced for the food that you get. To be honest, I’ve had much better food at more affordable restaurants. My food was the blackened salmon Alfredo, which was about $36. Even for a salad, it was like $35. For that price, you would think it would taste better, but to each their own. The environment is nice and the bathrooms are very clean. The service was also good. However, once again, the menu is very overpriced, and the food is subpar at best.

Good friend of mine just took me to Pappadeaux’s for my birthday. What an amazing meal! I had the Chilean Seabass and changed it up with a bit of the seasoned rice and crab meat. He also said he had a lovely meal. I’ve been coming here for years and love this place. They have never let you down. The service and the environment is always wonderful. Fernie (Fernando) was our server. He was very attentive without being a helicopter server. Couldn’t recommend his place more, great for business meetings and also just a great place to hang out with friends.

Budget minded people warning! You are paying for really good food and service, if you are cheap, you should pass on this one. I love this place, the food is always phenomenal and the service even better. I had fried plate this time, and it was amazing. I usually get the gator bites too, just didn’t on this visit. You definitely get what you pay for here. The teamwork that the staff displays is amazing. They all work together and make the dining experience unforgettable.
