Don't get me wrong, the food at Gumbo's is most excellent and I would definitely eat there more often if I could afford to do so.
I can't think of a dish I've ever had at Gumbo's that wasn't well executed and enjoyable. Many of the dishes are food that would never be found anywhere in Louisiana, and the style of preparation is not what you'd find should you find that dish in the first place.
But each region cuisine is adapted to whomever adopts it, and so it is with Gumbo's.
If you want strictly authentic, find wherever Mike and Yoli are cooking today, or else drive to Lafayette or New Orleans.
Pros: Excellent food
Cons: Not authentically New Orleanian / Cajun / Louisianaian.
