Editorial Review for Boudro's on the Riverwalk – by Pableaux Johnson
The Scene
Boudro's enjoys a positive reputation--especially among Riverwalk establishments--and is consistently packed. Inside the limestone building, however, high-volume seating translates to a high-volume dining experience. Waiters lean toward an initial hard sell of premium cocktails and high-priced wines, followed by particularly long spells of inattention between courses.
The Food
A silky sweet corn sauce provides a wonderful foil for the crab- and shrimp-heavy seafood cake appetizer, while basil-lemon-mint sauce that accompanies the Colorado lamb T-bone chops entree can be faint to the point of invisibility. Garlic mashed potatoes are perfectly creamy, but grilled squash may arrive well past overcooked. As for desserts, coconut flan lacks both eggy richness and coconut flavor while dense, cinnamon-rich Louisiana bread pudding floats in a pool of apparently whiskey-free whiskey sauce.

My friends and I really enjoyed our trip to Boudro's to drink prickly pear margaritas and eat chips, salsa, and guacamole prepared fresh at the table. This was our favorite part of the week. Great service, Beautiful view etc.
Pros: Prickly Pear Margaritas and Guacamole
Cons: None

I dont know, I guess I was just expecting more. It was nothing to write home about. First, they could not find my reservation. It was our anniversary and I stated that when I made it. To their credit they sat us in about 5 min. The service was just ok. It better be good for the price you pay though. But it wasnt outstanding. We ordered drinks and appitizers, they came, we are STILL holding our menus! The table they sat us at was tiny and for 2, which is fine, but the menus covered the table! So we have our salads in front of us, holding our menus, trying to eat. FINALLY the waitress came to take the menus and take our dinner order! She came by a couple of times and our empty cocktail glasses were present but never asked if we wanted another, nor took the empty glasses away! I ordered the Big Tails Little Tails. It was way too salty! The risotto was overcooked and it was like they just added red chile pepper in everything and called it southwestern. My husband ordered the crab enchiladas, that again had too much red chilie pepper and was too salty. And I like salt! It was LOUD...not very romantic, but thats ok cause that is not the waitstaff's or cook's fault. Like I said, it was mediocore. There are soooo many other places to eat than this place.
Pros: Maybe the guacamole...
Cons: too loud, too salty, bad service
