Diner notes
4 out of 5
Decided to try this place out from DineLa! I’d say get the seafood platter. Not a lot of Cajun flavor but there’s still flavor and more worth it than the other dishes in my opinion. The pasta with clam and wild mushrooms were a disappointment.. 3/4 of the clams weren’t open.. so pretty much a mushroom pasta. The fish was great, but it would be nicer if they scaled the fish a bit more so we can eat the skin. The rice was a bit hard.. The appetizers were pretty good. Their portions are pretty big as well. The waitress was very attentive and nice! Sales tax in Pasadena is 10.25% but they charged it higher… so I was thrown off. Not sure if they included featuring with it? But Be prepared to wait for your food as we waited for a good 30 min after our appetizers.

We had the Dine LA menu. We chose the ahi tuna tartare and ceviche for appetizers, which were just okay. The tuna was stringy and had an odd flavor to it, also a bit too tangy. However, the main entrees were amazing: lobster with garlic noodles, a little on the sweet side for the noodles, but very good. The portions were generous. The Cajun seafood platter for one was also very good, the Cajun sauce is delicious! For dessert, we had the deconstructed cheesecake with funnel cake, and the chocoflan, which was chocolate cake with caramel flan. I loved the cheesecake w/funnel cake, it was wonderfully crispy. The chocolate was too sugary, but the caramel flan was great. The restaurant wasn’t full by far, maybe near half full, but service was really slow. I think the kitchen was having issues, the server couldn’t find a shell cracker for us for a long time and eventually had to wash one herself. I honestly don’t know why they wouldn’t have more of these things , at least one for every table? Overall, it was still an enjoyable experience.

This is a very spacious Cajun restaurant that also caters to sports enthusiasts. There are so many TV’s showing various games. My family comes here for the lobster with mozzarella and for the lobster with garlic noodles but they also prepare good Cajun seafood. The crab, lobster and shrimp were all very fresh. The firecracker shrimp lives up to its name. If you want dessert, get the lava cake and skip the cheesecake.
