When you think of Mardi Gras, you think of New Orleans. Picture beads, green and purple lights, and delicious food. But don’t worry, you don’t have to travel that far south to enjoy a little spice in your life.
That fabulous Cajun-style cooking can be found right here in WNY. Head over to The Quarter on Virginia Place in Buffalo and you won’t be disappointed.
The Quarter has low, romantic lighting, two floors of dining and a fun well-lit bar. They have a few craft beers on tap and a decent wine selection, but they are known for mixing up a yummy Hurricane and other fun specialty drinks.
Our table enjoyed several items from the appetizer section of the menu, including corn chowder and bang-bang shrimp. Both were deemed excellent.
Entrees included jambalaya and shrimp etouffee and they had a lovely presentation. Both get a Home Run, as does the Banana Foster! So good!
The waitress/bartender, who we think was named Niki, was knowledgeable, efficient and very kind.
Note: Street parking. If you park on Franklin Street, it is a lovely walk with a chance to see some beautiful homes.
Also: The restrooms are up a flight of stairs.
Enjoy your week! Support local!
