dumb name for a restaurant....looks to be sysco heaven and frozen city when i see deliveries going in. the kitchen nightmares episode was a total joke. i don't know how anyone could go there after that!
We were actually thinking about trying to work it into our mix, but there are just too many great NOLA restaurants, and too little time. Heck, we have missed Galatoire's on the last few trips, so Oceana will just have to wait - if they can hang on.
Hunt, I've read WAY too many of your erudite posts to even think of letting you consider Oceana as a dining option. Trust me on this one, I have inside scoop: you do not want to put ANYTHING in your mouth that comes out of that kitchen. 'Nuff said.
Two years ago at the behest of a nephew, I checked out the place as a possibility for an after wedding family brunch site. I did not make it into the middle of the first room...saw way too much and got out.
Sorry to hear the state of affairs, as I always want a "good" NOLA restaurant to do well, prosper, and be around for decades. The others, well they deserve to fade away.
Sucked before KN, sucked during, and sucks after. A restaurant that, if there was any justice in this world, would have long since gone out of business, so as to avoid ripping off unsuspecting diners.
