I've heard that it is best to avoid new restaurants for the first few months to allow time to work out the kinks. Restoration was definitely worth the wait. I booked a table for 6 of us and had to call in and push back the reservation to a later time and they were extremely flexible with our party. My wife, who was meeting us from the airport, had a delayed flight, and the wait staff were very friendly and patient with us as we stalled to order. The majority of the employees are American, and no
The majority of the employees are American, and not having the language barrier for a place serving American/Western cuisine was awesome. Because our booking was later in the evening, the room was only at 3/4 or so capacity, making the noise level good for family dining. Because Restoration is so new, the cleanliness is near perfect.
We started out with the Rosemary Matchstick Fries and Hush Puppies with our cocktails and the complimentary fresh, warm bread. Both were served piping hot with excellent flavor and texture, and condiments were served in personal Le Creuset pots. The food came out much quicker than expected and all at once, something that rarely happens with a table of 6.
Though I would not say this is a kid-friendly restaurant, they do have traditional Southern fried chicken which my two younger children shared and thoroughly enjoyed. My wife and I both ordered the Shrimp and Grits, and both of us cleaned out plates. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the grits were cooked to the right consistency. My daughter ordered the market fish, which was a pan seared, Andouille Crusted Seabass filet. One of the more flavorful fish dishes I've ever tried, but it wasn't overdone. It is a little on the spicy and salty side, though. My son ordered the grass fed New Zealand steak, which our whole table agreed was one of the best steaks any of us had ever tried. I would also highly recommend the, jumbalaya. We ordered a small side of it and split it between the 6 of us. Finally for dessert we had the beignets with powdered sugar. These are excellent as well, but a little heavier and doughier than other we have tried.
We all left very full and we intend to return. We have a friend from New Orleans that is coming to visit in a few weeks and Restoration impressed us enough to take him there when he arrives. Though there may have been a few hiccups in the first few months, this place seems to have definitely worked out the kinks.
