Copious space for a large event. The menu is not vegetarian friendly nor is it kid friendly. The focus is on drinking, hence the large bar, and sports. We attended a party here but did not try any of the food or drinks as they were not s suitable for us. Note that the venue is difficult to spot from the road. The main sign is labelled as "The Oasis", not "Creole Cabana", and the building is set far back where it is hard to see from the road, especially travelling eastbound.
The complex itself is pretty great. It's large, open and modern. I loved that they had volleyball courts. The food, however, left me disappointed. I ordered the crawfish and corn fritters, which were good but underneath the top 2 fritters some of them were burnt. For my entree, I ordered the jerk chicken, which was somehow flavorless, even though it looked well-seasoned. The chicken came with a sweet potato dumpling bisque, yet the bisque was chunky. I've never heard of a chunky bisque before. Very strange to me. Maybe next time I'll try the tacos, which I think my waiter was trying to subtly steer me towards. Speaking of which, the staff was very friendly. I'd go back again, but more so for the volleyball and not so much for the food.
Excellent macaroni and cheese. The Cuban sandwich was not overly powered with mustard and or vinegar. The meat had a nice savory and lightly smoked flavor. I will be back
Atmosphere and staff are excellent. Food was well prepared but needed a bit more flavor. The Cuban was 80% meat, I think that can be dialed back some to let the mustards, cheeses and flavors shine. BBQ sauce I requested certainly spiced it up. Looking forward to trying the tacos on the next visit.
Amazing venue. Staff are very friendly and the drinks from the bar are great. Volleyball courts and a giant outside bar. Great food, highly recommend the gumbo. Oysters are great but a bit expensive now. I believe they are starting brunch soon - which would be incredible outside by the sand.
