D&K Cafe - superb!

I have a long overdue review. I took my mom to D&K's a couple of weeks ago. I was very worried about the night because 1) I am always leery of New Orleans style food outside of New Orleans, I'm used to the real thing and 2) my mom never likes upscale restaurants. The first thing that impressed me was the quality of wines by the glass...my mother doesn't drink so I usually never get a decent glass of wine when we go out to dinner so kudoes! I started with a seafood martini and it was the freshest, most delectable thing I've ever tasted. I wake in the night with cravings for it now! Next, I had one of the steaks...I thought it was risky to order, but the only thing I've ever had that was even comparable in New Orleans was at Emeril's NOLA before the storm. It was exquisite. The best surprise, however, was that my mom enjoyed it. My mom is not a foodie. She is very thin and chooses food based on whether or not it will help her keep her weight up...she loves Krystal and Little Debbie cakes. Sometimes I wonder if she was born without tastebuds. I've taken her to all my favorite restaurants in New Orleans...the only thing she really liked was Bud's Broiler...a hamburger joint. As we were leaving she remarked, "That was the best steak. I finished it." It was basically a miracle.

Thanks, Kathy -- not only for my little sister, but for a rare great dinner out with my mom!:wub:

I know I saw the menu for D&K on here somewhere and now I can't find it. I am sure I am looking right at it, but could someone post a link to the post?

My parents are coming down this weekend and I thought they might enjoy eating here. Is D&K opened on Mondays?

Never mind, I found it!!

I saw the website and it looks great!! My parents just made a reservation for next week at your restaurant. I can't wait to hear their reviews. :clap:

And they can wait to meet you!:wave:

That's what I get for playing on the computer while watching TV! 😱 :bang:

Kat-I meant they can NOT wait to me you; they are looking forward to it.

Miss Kitty, how come a kitty is looking out for a kat; are y'all in cahoots with each other? :rolling: Seriously, thanks for the grammar correction. :lolabove:

Only a FUNN group of people can take a joke and make funn of themselves. :floor:
I am happy to include myself as part of this group, even if I am just a once a year visitor to the area! :clap: Maybe when I am old and gray I can come more often. Oh wait, I am old and gray, but only my hairdresser knows for sure. 😱

Sorry if somebody mentioned this already, but D&K made the Times-Picayune last Sunday:clap: Here is a snippet from the article (it dealt with the panhandle from Pensacola to eastern 30-A):

Where to eat: In Grayton Beach , Doug and Kathy Krumel and their business partner Jamie Landreneau, all one-time residents of New Orleans, reopened the former D&K's Beach House as D&K's Cafe, a casual fine dining restaurant with a New Orleans design concept, which Landreneau says "looks like Uptown New Orleans." Paintings and furnishings are from the Crescent City. Windows overlook the beach. 63 Hotz Ave., Grayton. (850) 231-0455, www.dandkcafe.com.

Hooray to the K's:bow:

Shared some awesome seafood dip to-go tonight with the Pod family. It was yummalicious.....:wub:
