Went there the other day and had the hush puppy. The shrimp were minuscule, each the size of a nickle. They were swimming in an ocean of fondue, the shrimp to cheese ratio was radically disproportionate. And it was topped with bits of deep fried onions crisps. I felt that the pics displayed here and the description of the shrimp as “rock shrimp” where very misleading.

My entree was the duck a new addition to the menu. It was less then inspired. It was slices of duck, that tasted like they had just been defrosted, on top of a scoop of mash sweet potatoes with a few pieces of spinach on the side. The duck was tough and lacked flavor.

Overall the experience was so so. After reading this article I really wanted to like this place, but it just didn’t live up to expectations.

harsher that you compare it to cuba libre – which is a tacky chain! this at least looks way more original/creative to me.

Wow, harsh. Those murals are dope. But you and I have never agreed on anything, so I’m not surprised. …going back Thursday to get my Pickled Mule fix.

re: decor. i actually think it looks like a tacky high school play set. which apparently is becoming a trend. the new cuba libre also is playing up a theatrical angle with fake windows, balconies and street lights.

It’s such a wonderful place, and I really like the creativity that enclaves
this restaurant. A good dining experience,and a good conversation awaits at
Eatonville.
