"I planned a birthday dinner for my daughter's 15th birthday at this establishment. Called twice to make sure they could accommodate my party size and that the day and time were acceptable. (I called twice because I was told a manager would call, but they didn't so I called back 2 days later). I was assured that date and time were acceptable and that they wouldn't be able to sit all of us at the same table but they would have us in the same section of the restaurant. I was excited because it was going to be my first time at this establishment and I had heard great things. However, I received a phone call less than 48 hrs before my reservation time and was told by the assistant manager that they would not be able to guarantee that my party would be in the same section. So, I took the time to confirm the actual number of attendees (15 20 people) for the dinner and called back to inform them of this in hopes that they could work something out (due to this last minute notification) and was advised that my reservation had been canceled. I was also advised that if we decided to show up they would sit everyone, but we would run the risk of being spread out across the restaurant. I expressed my grievances about the last minute change and the fact that they were not willing to try to make any accommodations. As I stated, this was going to be my first time at Cajun Steamer and to have such a poor experience is extremely disheartening. I don't appreciate being treated as if we weren't going to be paying customers. The fact that my reservation was canceled without my consent and them not trying to provide a reasonable solution for the last minute change shows me that there is a lack of business acumen within their management team. I understand that they have a small space to work with, but their inability to accommodate my party should've been made known upfront not less than 48 hrs before my reservation. To lose a customer before they even have a chance to visit your establishment is truly sad indeed."

"Desire is right at bourbon street, so it is easy to find and before dinner there is much to see. the personal was all so nice; we only wish that some of the food was a little tastier, I would say that this is really a 3.5 star rating. we had a reservation of 20:30 on Tuesday night, but at 18 o'clock it came there. they were pretty busy asking us to return to our planned time (which was completely okay with us! but ended up in a position to put us about 5 minutes later. the host and our server were all very nice. we ordered: char grilled oysters who liked was good that they came hot out of the cake. 5 of the 6 oysters we got, however, were sandy contained envelope. (this seemed to be the norm at most places, but not in that a fancier restaurant we went to. bummer. the compromise (1 2 garnelen 1 2 tern po 'boy there was a ton of garnel and oyster! I would say that the garnel content was especially dry and little taste. I'm not sure that the broth was spiced on the garlands with any spices. I added the hot sauce at the end, but what it really needed was mayonnaise sauce. the oyster part was really delicious the oysters were all plump and juicy, but again mayonnaise sauce would have made it even better. the creole trio (red bohnen reis, jambalaya and gumbo all items were good. how, solid good. this chewing gum was the kind with okra, which is good. the rice and jambalaya had a lot of meat in them as much! Overall I would say that eating was a solid 3 stars. the location and the people were great. note: they have a full cash and I wanted a drink, but I didn't want anything super-sirupic. I was approaching the unoccupied bartender, hi! I wondered if you had something sweet but not sirup sweet. their answer was, they should probably drink somewhere else. I thought that meant you were annoying, please go away. but she could have made me literally and put less juice in it. Oh, good."
