Restaurant Review - Nola

Bistro owned by Emerils, all very trendy with its wood-fired oven but the food is seriously lacking. A mini-pizza starter with pesto was distinctly burnt around the edges and had a duly, chewy base (0/10). My wife’s starter salad with a mustard dressing was better.  Crawfish pie was poor, with tiny, tasteless crawfish just deep-fried, and with a limp piece of pastry surrounding more of the same (0/10).  Barbecued shrimps were better but still ordinary (1/10), with another set of strident, competing flavours in the sauce and vegetables on offer.  The wine list was limited but has some good bottles.  Service was cold but efficient.
