Date of visit: 9/9/08 time: 7p.m. Thinking that our second visit would be better than the first visit when we never got to eat at Harry Bissets, we made reservations so we would not have a problem getting a table like the last time. Our server was great, and had it not been for him, we would have been thoroughly disappointed. We had the Crawfish Etouffee and the blackened Mahimahi covered with etouffee with creamed spinach and red Australian Shiraz wine, which was great --- minus all the gnats buzzing around our table !! Good thing there were extra plates, so we just covered our food to keep them out. WOULD THE MANAGER PLEASE, PUT UP SOME FLY STRIPS IN INCONSPICUOUS PLACES?? The decor and atmosphere, MINUS THE GNATS, was fine.\r

One final note: when the hostess answers the phone with a heavy southern accent, it sounds as if she calls the place HAIRY BIZZUTS..... like all you serve there is HAIRY BISCUITS. (Probably the same rude hostess that would not get us a table, like the last time). Since the restaurant is Cajun, shouldn't the pronunciation be: HA-REE BEE-SET-Z ?!
Pros: DOWNTOWN LOCATION, GREAT SELECTION OF WINE AND CAJUN CUISINE
Cons: GNATS, GNATS, GNATS.... AND DINGY HOSTESSES !!
