I've been traveling all over the Gulf Coast (NOLA, Baton Rouge, Houston), and am sick of fish. Ate at Pappadeaux just now and while it was good...I'm sick of... Well, see above. Little help?

Just returned from Bryan's 797. The food was decent...nothing special. But yes, the bisque was good. I really liked the ambiance, and they should realy serve dinner on the porch on nice nights.
