Walked by the other day and was intrigued. It's nice to see another cajun/creole place open up in mainstream Columbus. Maybe this will get some people to venture to other similar spots around the city. I'm pretty certain the owner from Indy will take to Columbus quickly and maybe even like it better here.

A couple things:
The restaurant really is that good and the owner super cool. I was floored that you could get a half plate (which includes rice & bread) for only $4.50. The only thing I didn't like was the bread, which for some reason grossed me out. That said, my friend scarfed it down and so did everyone else in the restaurant.
For the record, they also have a bball hoop back by the bathrooms. My high score in 60 seconds was 25. :)
They are on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Columbus-OH/Da-Levee/339041436995?ref=nf
And Twitter: @DaLeveeCajun
To answer an earlier question, they do push out the day's menu via Twitter.

I owe him for a meal, but I've been out of town for the last week. As soon as I get back in to Columbus I am going to stop by and square up with my debt. I love the food, and the price is fair...

We stopped in the other day and I was really impressed. Very friendly, personal service. The decor is a bit bare bones, but we didn't notice or care after our first of many samples- it was all fantastic. My girlfriend, who is a vegetarian, flipped out over the "Spinach and mushroom etouffe (sp?)" and even bought a second order to take home for later. Definitely recommend stopping in to try it out!

They were closed when we tried to stop in last night, but had a sign saying they reopen from 1:30am-3 for $5 burritos (fri&sat). I just want to say I think it's awesome to see a small shop like this catering to the bar crowd. Personally I don't eat that late but smart business idea:)

Stopped in yesterday. After trying the tasty selections, my husband and I both went with the white chicken chili to go. Fantastic. We'll definitely be back.

We went tonight and this place really does live up to the hype. Flavors are really incredible. And the bread is heaven. We'll be back a lot I think.

I loved my lunch today (hunters stew), you really can't beat this place.. I'll probably be eating here multiple times a week.

Link: http://bit.ly/da-leveeI was so excited when I received that Fudha email today. This is some great exposure for Justin, as well as da leVee.
By the way, if you know someone who can produce a custom window banner on the cheap, you may be able to work out a food trade.

Stopped in today. Really nice guys, and a good selection of tasty food. I could be wrong but I'd guess they start with a roux -- something gives the gumbo a really nice depth. Did seem a bit glutinous, which could be balanced off with a judicious amount of heat, if they'd be willing to notch it up, which would be my own preference, though I understand the desire not to wound people. Real cooking, though, right down to the bay leaf.

There are like 12 hot sauces by the drinks...
Posted 2 years ago # -
hot sauce =/= cooked in spice
Still, I'll be trying these guys out. How much eat in space do they have?
