Great food, great customer service, & enough powder sugar on your biegnets to last you into the next year! I'm sooo glad to have finally made it over to Angeline's Louisiana Kitchen this past Sun (around 5:30pm) for my birthday weekend! LOCATION: We parked in the garage parking just around the corner on Kittridge St ($4 flat rate) simply because we didn't feel like driving around to find parking. Greeted upon entrance & party of 4 got seated immediately. The restaurant isn't really large...probably around 8 4-seater-tables & another 8 2-seater-tables. Table & chairs are workable, but my bf sat across from his dad & they kept bumping their feet w/ each other. The 4-seater-tables, inner chairs had no arm rest whereas outter chairs did...might make a difference for those who prefer/need no arm rests. SERVICE: Just great! Our waiter-Anthony was thorough checking in on us. We did notice tho, he gave straws to only me & bf who ordered drinks other than H20; the parents had to put in a request ;-) BF dropped a spoon (not enuf elbow space @ the table for him really), Anthony's colleague instantly comes in to pick up the spoon & hands off new/clean spoon to bf (not bad, right!) Even upon finishing up our meals, nice woman (heak could've been Angeline) came over to ask how was our experience & hopes we come back. As dad said, "The food definitely has 'come-back-ability'" FOOD: GREAT! Already have plans of other items we'd like to try *tee-hee*! I had the Strawberry Lemonade & bf had "Swamp Water" (half lemonade & half ice tea) both have free refills *kudos*; mine's cool, taste like it had soda or sparkling sumthin' in there...Swamp Water is a good recommendation for those who like unsweeten tea I think. Apps were Grilled Boudin Sausage & Hush Puppies both were good, especially Hush Puppies w/ Honey Butter *yummy* Moms had Penne Pasta; she enjoyed that there was chckn practically w/ every bite of pasta. BF & pops had Cajun Mixed Grill..I tasted this & everything was great! The potato salad had mini red potatoes & my goodness it was reeally cold *kudos* I had (ahem) the Voo Doo Shrimp also a great dish! Think I would've preferred more rice w/ the sauce from the shrimp, but that's just meeh. Everything gets a recommendation! DESSERT/BIEGNETS: All I can say ladies is it's completely OK to have a lil' white stuff around your mouth area ...that is if you're eating these delicious hot/fresh beignets! Get in here & try 'em! Scrum-didly-umptous!!! Final tab for 2 drinks, 2 apps, 4 entrees, & 2 desserts...$95 bucks & some change. While enjoying our meals we saw plenty of other plates coming outta the kitchen to other patrons: Shrimp Po'Boy Sandwiches, Jambalaya, Rib Eye Steak & Shrimp, Fried Chkn & Sweet Mashed Potatoes, & more. Yes, we will be back!

I'm from New Orleans so I'm probably overly critical of this place but I'd say the food wasn't great. However I loved the decor and i felt like I was at home in Louisiana. Someone who has had a lot of experience with Southern Cajun and creole food probably won't be impressed with this place but I'd recommend it to those from Berkeley. The food is unique for this region.

Dinner at Angeline's is a real treat. You feel as though you are visiting New Orleans. All of the dishes are good, but my favorites are those with crayfish. Once, on their one year anniversary, the entire menu was a variety of crayfish dishes. Don't miss the wonderful benets for desert.
