New Orleans Creole Cookery

So the place is cute and the staff are incredibly kind and friendly, but unfortunately, I had a really bad experience. I am gluten free, got their little gluten free menu, told the waiter I'm gluten free, ordered the grilled oysters, and it came with bread. I asked the waiter if the bread was gluten free and he said yes. I ate the bread, it was delicious, and then the waiter came back and recommended I eat the oysters with the crackers(I'm new to oysters and I asked how to eat them), but the crackers are clearly made with wheat. So I asked again, is the bread gluten free? He said yes. I said, are you sure? Because I already ate some. He scurried to the back and asked the chef and sure enough, it's normal bread. He was panicked, I told him I won't die, and then told me to get to a CVS asap. He still made me pay for my drink after I said I wouldn't pay for the food. I didn't argue because I just needed to get out asap and I'm non-confrontational. Celiac disease isn't like lactose intolerance. I get sick, for days sometimes. This experience sucked so bad and I'm so upset because I'm only in nola for 2 more days and I'm going to be feeling weak and nauseous the rest of my time here. Again, the staff was so friendly! But he needs to know more about common allergies.

DID ANYONE SAY, LOUISIANA SPECIAL? If you are ever lucky to experience New Orleans, you MUST try jambalaya and gumbo with a side of oysters of course. Jambalaya is by far my favorite because growing up in a first-generation filipino American household rice was a big part of the culture and gave me much comfort. The dish incorporate Cajun flavors and will surely make you full. At New Orleans Creole Cookery, you will be wow'd by more than the building, but by the level of service they provide. The staff is extremely attentive and the jambalaya is the bees knees. I could eat their jambalaya everyday - the rice is perfectly cooked and the chicken is so tender and moist. Personally for me, I'm not a big fan of gumbo. Thick soups are not my favorite but nonetheless, the flavors are still bold. And lastly, I have never enjoyed oysters. But something told me to give this one a try and I am glad I did. There was ZERO hint of the ocean and salt water scent that oysters usually have. In fact, it wasn't salty at all. Instead it was drenched in garlic and cheese - how could this not be the best oyster ever? Only thing it was missing was bread crumbs but, I understand the hesitation with those who cannot have gluten. Still, I would definitely eat this oyster again and again. Thank you for the hospitality!
