The Delta Grill provided a charming dining experience enhanced by attentive service, fun music, and a lip-smacking margarita. My friends & I were there for a post-theater dinner and were seated just a few minutes before the zydeco band, Dirty Water Dogs, began. The New Orleans ambiance and cozy warmth provided a welcome oasis from the blustery cold spring night.
Being indecisive and already 10pm, we decided on side dishes and appetizers to share rather than an entree. The sticky chicken was too sweet for me, but aptly named and enjoyed thoroughly by the rest of my party. My favorite were the unusual jambalaya wontons - delicious! The mac and cheese was thick with real cheese, but a bit bland even so. The red beans & rice were fine, but not as spicy as I had hoped. The basket of sweet potato fries were a hit with everyone.
The choice was difficult. There were many intriguing options, including alligator. My favorite consumable was the top shelf margarita. The lack of driving in NYC makes it easy to have another.
Another fascinating feature of this cajun bistro was the people watching factor. A wide variety of people were there: different races, ages, apparent incomes levels, & orientations. Maybe that was just New York.
Tying the whole experience up in a handsome bow was our aspiring guitarist waiter, Alec. He was great with the suggestions, quick with the drinks, and witty without being intrusive.
