Boudro's really impressed me, especially for being a restaurant located directly on the river walk. There are a lot of tourist trap places here, and a lot of mediocre food. Suffice to say, Boudro's stands out in a great way. My only real gripe with the restaurant was the upkeep on the restroom. There are A LOT of staff ( I visited at around 10:45 PM on a Saturday night) and yet there were paper towels all over the floor and the restroom in itself was just dirty. When you have a nice restaurant such as this every part of it is a direct reflection of what it represents. My server was excellent; extremely polite and prompt in getting coffee refills, asking me if I needed anything, etc. The coffee was very good, which it should be at this kind of restaurant. I ordered the shrimp and grits, which were full of flavor. The sauce had roasted peppers in it, as well as applewood smoked bacon and chorizo. The grits were perfectly cooked, as were the shrimp. Nothing was over-seasoned either, which I have noticed at multiple restaurants in the past. It was a great blending of flavors, I'll be sure to come back! Just clean the bathrooms next time please
