La Madeleine is known for their french food and french pastries. I love most of their desserts - their little shooter desserts are scrumptious. But on this particular day, I ordered their Crepe Romanoff, which is a sweet crepe with strawberries and their signature brandy sour cream sauce. Since I don't like liquor or alcohol that much, I asked for the sauce on the side.
Summary: the crepe is gross. Imagine a wheat crepe with no flavor. I make my own crepes all the time. This was disgusting. I do not recommend the crepe, or at least, I don't recommend the crepe without the brandy.
I love all the Pappadeaux desserts. They are the equivalent of "tried and true" for me. I tried a special dessert the last time I was there...pecan cheesecake. You should definitely try it. The dinner itself was subpar for me, but the pecan cheesecake made up for it. It wasn't overly sweet like a pecan pie (which I avoid at all costs). It was your standard cheesecake, with a twist.
Red Hot and Blue's got some great food (ask for cinnamon butter next time for your biscuits). Their banana pudding, though, is gritty and overly cheaply sweet. I would recommend you spend your calories on the food, cinnamon butter, and biscuits.
