I think the last that owned it got tired if running a restaurant. She had plenty of money anyway. IIRC

I never found it to be anything special. Gave it about four try's and just wasnt impressed
Eta: I always preferred Zeas when they were both owned by the same folks

It certainly wasn't. But when you are in college and a buddy cooks there...well...it's delicious!

I used to love the Chicken Enchilada pasta and the Double Cheeseburger pasta.

If I remember correctly the one here in Br closed before Katrina due to poor business. The one in Alexandria and New Orleans died after Katrina. The n.o location never got off the ground to rebuild after the storm. I also think Alexandria and one or two more elsewhere were outside the brown family franchises...
I miss the one in Alex. , used to eat there often when there overnight for business. Now there's really not much else in that shite hole town that appeals to me... Moderately priced places

The one that was over on Metairie rd or whatever off the interstate was a tough location
Very little parking and just a tough location

Coursey and Bennington.
The one on Coursey seemed to do well. Not sure about Bennington.

I went to the one in Baton Rouge back in college once, and it was some of the worst food I've ever had. Also knew two friends that waited there during college and they both said it was awesome shite they were "cooking."
Went to the one in Metairie last year with some work folks (not my choice) and it was equally awful. Just not good food.

Shrimp Roban FTW. It's ashamed Olive Garden put them out if business. Used to have one in kennerbrah too.

That was the wife's favorite. That and a Bellini before dinner.

Given the traffic through that town you would think it would have produced a food soul of some sort, and it did not. No one was willing to stop and spend time at all.

That shrimp Roban was fricking crazy good
