I went to Crescent City for Restaurant Week and I'm only just now getting to write about it because of (a) Fringe and (b) life, but since everything on their Restaurant Week menu is also on their normal menu, no harm no foul. The Restaurant Week experience, of course, is a little different (a 9 p.m. dinner reservation means you don't really order, you just accept what's left), and that's where my biggest problem with Crescent City was. Obviously I don't keep kosher: I'd ordered the pork chop for dinner. As an appetizer, I'd ordered the shrimp and crab spring rolls. This was all treyf. But one of my companions, who isn't much for pork, had also ordered the spring rolls, and when they came, they didn't exactly look like shrimp and crab. Didn't taste like it, either. I called our waiter over. "Did we get the right thing?"
