Another day, another incredible restaurant!\u00a0 Man, my life is tough!\u00a0 December 8 found us, joined by my good friend, Kristina, at Bourbon House<\/a>.\u00a0 The dining room is beautiful at this restaurant and one of my favorite features is the open oyster bar.\u00a0 So very New Orleans!\u00a0<\/p>\n

I also LOVE these lanterns!<\/p>\n

Lunch was incredible, if a bit challenging because C was very tired and bit overstimulated.\u00a0 So, basically, unless he was being held, he was going to annoy the rest of the restaurant.\u00a0 So, hold him I did!\u00a0 Fortunately, I\u2019m getting pretty good at eating one-handed and I didn\u2019t order anything that needed cutting.<\/p>\n

For my appetizer, I began with the Duck Confit Salad.\u00a0 I\u2019m not used to eating duck cold, but this was a very tasty salad.\u00a0 The spiced pecans were only okay, but the rest of it was very good.\u00a0 Kris began her meal with the Caesar Salad.\u00a0 (I think this is the only restaurant that I managed to remember to photograph not only my food, but my dining partner\u2019s as well)<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Entrees followed and I enjoyed the Pasta Bordelaise.\u00a0 It was a fairly simple dish, but loaded with seafood and quite enjoyable. \u00a0Kris had two appetizers as her entrees and I think I enjoyed her choices even more than my own.\u00a0 She had half a dozen oysters topped with caviar and I really loved that extra saltiness that the caviar added.\u00a0 She also opted for the Escargot Casino, which was one of the best escargot dishes I have tried.\u00a0 The sauce had an almost country rusticity to it with the bacon and creaminess and was absolutely delicious!\u00a0 I will have to go back for that one once my dieting days are behind me!\u00a0 By the way, writing up these posts while also attempting to curb my eating is not easy, I hope you appreciate them!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Surprisingly, I skipped dessert at this restaurant as well.\u00a0 The menu looked great and thinking back, I\u2019m even more shocked that I didn\u2019t try one, but I think I was a bit flustered with my unhappy boy and wanted to get out of there before he got even crankier.<\/p>\n

Overall, I was pretty happy with my experience at Bourbon House.\u00a0 The food was really good, but our server wasn’t the greatest.\u00a0 She would disappear for extended periods of time and was a bit slow when we did ask for things.\u00a0 It wasn’t bad enough to never go back, but it was a bit disappointing that she wasn’t more on the ball.<\/p>\n

Four bells down, six to go!<\/p>\n
