The Atchafalaya Restaurant | Idlewild Golf Course — Restaurant in Louisiana

Visit on Saturday 9/23/23. First and foremost, beautiful restaurant and grounds. Food has been good on past visits. Asked to be sat outside, was initially given a table, our drink order was taken at that time, 2 waters. Minutes later our waitress, Chasity, who was courteous, returned with our waters and we were notified she was going off shift and the bartender/server Amber taking her place was refusing to serve us outside. (Besides us, there was one other table of two.) We walked inside the restaurant and was introduced to Chuck. Explaining to Chuck that we were refused service, the bartender was attempting to argue that she was just the bartender. Well who is our server???

I really enjoyed my food during my visit here. I had the duck strips and waffle to start. The uniqueness was inviting, so I gave it a go. Simple, but pretty tasty. It came with a traditional syrup accompanied by a "sweet and sour" sauce. I followed that small gem with the "Catfish Atchafalaya", a fillet of catfish with a generous portion of crawfish etouffee and a dinner roll. The etouffee was flavorsome and included greater than was expected amount of crawfish. 👍🏻👍🏻 The one thing that was a bit off was the catfish that I had ordered "grilled". What I received was a fried catfish fillet. I honestly didn't even say anything about the mix-up to my waitress as it still looked very good. I really enjoyed my food here and staff seemed super pleasant. I'd recommend this place to others, based on my...
