Charlotte with a taste of N'Awlins

[PerCapita]

We used to go to Hotel Charlotte to get a taste of crawfish. But now I see that some dishes are off the menu, with a statement to ask if you don't see it. And I hear the quality is not what it used to be.

What's the scoop on Hotel Charlotte, and if it's bad, what are the alternatives in the Charlotte area? Crawfish-wise?

Cajun Queen and for a more casual place I like Cajun Yard Dog at the Arboretum in South Charlotte. Everything is made from scratch, the prices are right and it's locally owned.

I just went to a function that was catered by Cajun Queen, the crawfish were really spicy, loved it.

There is also Boudreaux's in NoDa, one of my chef friends said she had a nice brunch there.
