Just as we sat down to dine, a waiter passing us happened to drop $30 cash on the floor. Of course we picked it up and while tempted to spend it on drinks we gave it back to him. I did not think much of it until later. Hold that thought.

The food was excellent. Started with some sparkling wine to set the mood. Got an oyster popover of sorts. Light and airy and oystery. Not too many oysters in there but was delicious.

Also had the turtle soup. Interesting to see what an Alligator Snapping Turtle tastes like.

For the main we got the broiled pecan redfish. Tender and delicious. Served it with a nice Chardonnay.



Overall food was great and would have given them 5 stars. But remember the $30 the waiter dropped? Well, we happened to leave a plastic bag with souvenirs at the table. We got home late before realizing and no one picked up the phone when we called about it. Called again the next day and at that time they said no one turned in anything. Well, how can that be? Waiters would have found it when cleaning up the table.

Commander Palace, you coulda have done right by us the way we did right by the waiter who dropped the cash. Too bad. Really sours the experience.
