I don't post very often on here but thought I would chime in on a couple of experiences this week. First, my family and I had dinner at Cafe Lou Lou for my wife's birthday Monday. Great as always. We split the shrimp and grits app and a Lou Lou Pizza. This shrimp and grits were wonderful. Grits were very creamy, shrimp were perfectly cooked and the sauce was very good. It was light yellow in color with a little kick, and very different from other versions I have had in the past. The pizza with garlic sauce, bacon, red onions, roasted red peppers, mozzarella and goat cheese was also great! THe goat cheese just put it over the top. My 4 year old loved her pepperoni pizza and my almost 1 year old son had fun eating whatever he could get his hands on. Matt, our server was also great. Helpful and attentive but not at all over bearing.
On Wednesday I took one of the guys that works in my youth group who is graduating from seminary out for his going away lunch. We had never been to Havana Rumba so we went there. Fantastic meal. Started with the calamari which was near perfect. Well seasoned with a light coated and perfectly cooked. We then split the combination meal designed for 2 people. I can't remember the name, but it was huge. Steak, chicken, grilled, chorizo, beans, rice, sweet Plantains,and tostones (sp?). Steak was well cooked and flavorful and the chicken was great! We left absolutely stuffed. Our server Agelica was pro and I was sure to let management know. All in all 2 great experiences at two of my favorites in the city. Just thought I would share!
