First time there since renovated. The service was great, beginning from the valet to the waiters, BUT my dish was not great! Ordered the Sweet Tea Smoked Chicken & Spinach Salad. It seemed as if it was just thrown in there with dark chicken and a hen egg which is pretty much poached, but closer to raw. The Sweet Tea Smoked Chicken tasted all but like sweet & smoked. So then we decided to switch that salad out for A Creole Cobb salad with White Chicken. Well....it was worse! It seemed as if the Chef threw in the chicken from the previous salad (not white meat as requested) and this time with bones in it! It seemed as if they were bones from a Cornish chicken. I was trying my best to eat the greens part of the salad, but then the waiter saw the bones on the side of plate and he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He was very apologetic and my meal was on them. I went there to have a nice meal not to get a free meal. The waiter Manuel was very nice as well as the rest of the staff. Because of that I will return and perhaps I will have a better experience. It is a beautiful place.
