For those who have not seen it on FB or IG, Drew’s reopens this Tuesday, Feb. 14th, aka Valentine’s Day. Fully booked that evening, but they’re taking regular reservations. As always, only by phone.

I was there on opening night and can happily report that the space is beautiful and definitely the nicest of the 3 prior locations with dark hardwood floors and exposed brick walls throughout. The spaciousness of the room, the large bay windows, the tall ceilings and the open kitchen added to the appeal of the restaurant. As for the food, everything we ate was top notch. While the special Valentine’s Day menu contained a number of Drew’s tried and true dishes, a few new standouts included wonderful crab meat hush puppies and and a spectacular octopus ceviche. For those that might be concerned about parking, I had no trouble finding a spot on Front Street mere feet from the restaurant. Drew and his staff did not miss a beat with the food and service and operated as if they had been opened at this location for months. Kudos to them and best wishes for a successful run at this new space.

Wonderful to hear from you, @bgut! Glad to have you attest to the attractiveness of the new space which looked that way from the photos posted on FB and IG. They’ve done a masterful job. No surprise, of course, that the food they are putting out remains top-notch. Unfortunately, since we are still not doing indoor restaurant dining, we won’t be eating there. I am, however, hoping that Drew will still do take-out. The last time we ordered for pick-up was shortly before the old location closed. I plan to call and ask about it next week after the Mardi Gras dinner.

Thanks @RGR . I hope they are able to accommodate you with the take out order. All the best to you and Mr. RGR.
We enjoyed an outstanding dinner at Drew’s beautiful new location. Drew did an excellent job. I love the exposed brick and open kitchen. We enjoyed blackened catfish; the awesome crawfish cheesecake; muffuletta salad with pimento cheese and Andouille spread; crabmeat hushpuppies; panko crusted swordfish stuffed with crab meat; calamari. It all went great with an excellent Shiraz and cabernet.

We started off our anniversary weekend with a bang at Drew’s. We enjoyed the first of the season crispy panko crusted soft shell crabs; blackened shrimp and grits; cheesy garlicky crawfish toast; and crabmeat guacamole. It all went great with some excellent cabernets.

The Crawfish cheesecake, that has me intrigued.
What is the consistency?
Just might get my lazy bones over to Drew’s for that alone & the Voodoo shrimp. Is that still available?

Voodoo shrimp, a Drew’s signature dish, is always on the menu. There would be a major revolt if he took it off.

The crawfish cheesecake is excellent. It tastes like a savory cheesecake and is served cold. It was a special, and is not on the regular menu.

Just as lovely.
How are you finding the new location? I know it was a hot topic earlier this year.

Thanks! I love the new location. The setup is so much nicer than the previous location. They have nice exposed brick throughout. Parking is actually closer when you get there early, since I can
park in front of the restaurant. While the previous location, the parking lot was away from the restaurant and you had to walk a bit.
