A Pleasant Surprise Around the Corner in New Orleans

📍 Drago's 2 Poydras St, Hilton New Orleans Riverside, New Orleans, LA 70140 🍴 Appetizers Gator Nuggets The alligator meat tastes a bit like chicken but drier and chewier 🐊. The sauce is just regular ranch — okay but not special. Still, worth trying once! 👌🏿 (The oil tasted like it had been reused a few times though 😅) Rating: 3.5/5 ½ Dozen Chargrilled Oysters These grilled oysters are absolutely amazing 🦪✨ — way better than most grilled oysters I’ve had back home! The bread served with it is similar to Red Fish Grill’s, nothing special. Rating: 4.5/5 Raw Oysters No need to say much — fresh and top quality! Rating: 5/5 ✅ 🍴 Entrée Lobster Marco Pasta tossed in the same garlic butter sauce from the grilled oysters — delicious combo! But overall, the dish was just decent. Works great if you order it with the grilled oysters though. Rating: 3.5/5 🍴 Dessert Bread Pudding Pretty standard, though a bit more refined than average. Comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but after having amazing ice cream yesterday (without chocolate sauce), this one didn’t stand out. Rating: 3/5 #NewOrleansFood #StudyInTheUS 🎓🍤🎉
