The Schooner Restaurant

We went for the first time and had great service and great food. Ordered a hurricane that was delish. Then fresh salads. We also tried the seafood gumbo and really loved the flavor of that! We settled on a shared plate of the Shrimp platter and it definitely did NOT disappoint. The stuffed shrimp was amazing and the flavors of the grilled, blackened and fried shrimp were awesome. We then decided on a shared bread pudding and was shocked at the size of it for the price because that would feed 4 people!! So we had to take half of that to go and our waitress Aliciaia was kind of enough to make sure we had a little extra cream and berries for the next session on that wonderful bread pudding. I would certainly return and recommend you try them

This restaurant has been around for quite some time, and it needs a little updating. We were not that impressed with the gumbo nor the pontchartrain. The oysters were ok, but wished we had crackers or something with it. We did not get any kind of bread either. However, the rib eye steak and onion rings saved the day.

Normally I have a great experience with dinner here, not tonight. I took my family out for steaks and out of the 4, 3 Ribeye steaks were 90% fat and completely inedible. When we alerted a manager he was immediately offended saying his father personally cut the meat and that they would not be remaking our meals as they would turn out the exact same (which has never been the case any time we’ve been here previously). The only saving grace is our waitress was so sweet and understanding, she handled the situation very well.

We enjoyed celebrating our 33 anniversary with a low key dinner at our favorite seafood restaurant. Our meal was perfect and the margaritas are great.

After reading several local reviews, we decided to give it a try. I'm not one to go out of my way to give a "less than" review but here we are. We were seated right away & got our beverages quickly. Although, there are many items to choose from, it seems like just another menu from the area. The prices were high. I did not like that you have to pay $2 extra for grilled food or $7.95 to add a topping to fish. There is nothing special about this restaurant. The bread they give you to start was dry & tasted old. Our salads were floppy & the dressing was overly runny. The baked potatoes had a reheated flavor. We both ordered a platter to try a few things. The bbq crab was as extremely dry & there was no way to eat any of it. It was a crumbly mess. The scallops were like rubber & very tiny. The
