Old Orleans York Old Orleans Restaurant and Cocktail Bar

Big Pimpin wrote in and told us ... This place has a great staff. It has the best seafood cooked in the style of New Orleans in my opinion. You guys were pimpin!!! Stay pimpin.

Popped in with a friend for a bite to eat after a birthday party and was very impressed. Meals were well presented as were the staff. They have made a very good effort with the decor to make it look and feel like the the famous city which it takes its name from. Will visit again soon as it was real good fun. This in my mind is the perfect place for a party. 30 or so it can handle with ease.

A good menu and selection of drinks. Cocktails were the specialty with a good selection from standard to real party drinks. Having seen a flaming lamborghini in here before if you like to drink with a powerful punch and aren't to bothered about the fact it has been set alight its worth a shot.

To start cajun mushrooms with some salsa and salad. Nicely presented and very garlicky yummy. Salsa and salad was good too. The jalapeno chilies stuffed with cheese and in bread crumbs also were very nice unusually the chilies looked red under the batter but tasty none the less.

Main course Jambalaya .. a rice and chicken dish was well presented although a little luke warm rather than steaming hot when it arrived. Tasty yes and there was one spoon full where I got a bit of something that I must say was just delish. Wish I had discovered the hot sauce bottle a bit sooner than 1/2 way through but that's just me.

Ribs and wings were good. Spicy enough and well cooked. There was an option for a less spicy version but these were great. Well so the look on the face of my dining compatriot told me anyway's, as did his comments.

Desert had a Chocolate Brownie Sunday ... well what can i say .. chewy brownie covered with whipped cream and ice cream mixed with a sticky sauce that was heaven. Not so good for the waistline but the taste buds were singing after it.

Good all round experience will go again.
