Rey's serves exciting continental cuisine with an accent on the cooking of New Orleans. The restaurant has put together a delightful menu that will ingratiate the toughest of gastronmical critics. So sit down, tuck in your napkin and order away. Try the New Orleans Turtle soup, a French Quarter speciality, or if you're adverse to turtles, try the Grilled Chicken and Sausage Gumbo (made from andouille sausage). The Osso Bucco, though not a Southern dish is worth a try and so is the Pan Seared Grouper. Make sure that you have room for Rey's dessert menu.
