Pappadeaux Seafood KitchenBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Pappadeaux Seafood Restaraunt"

It would be nice if they took reservations, but it''''s worth the wait. The food was fabulous and everything I expected--the onion rings were divine!!! They were spicy and great tasting. Everyone in our party had something different and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. They serve huge portions, so think about splitting an order with a companion.

The museum was doing a lot of construction when we were there. It would have been nice when we purchased our tickets if they had told us that a large part of the museum was actually closed. We would have chosen to skip the actual museum and buy a double-feature to the IMAX and add the butterfly exhibit. Also, many specimens were missing or mismarked, like in the mineral section, especially.

Their curator needs to be a bit more descriptive as many items were simply marked "vase", "bowl", etc. with no other information about possible uses, materials they were made from, etc.

Great Caruso Dinner TheaterBest of IgoUgo

Attraction | "The Great Caruso--Dinner Theatre"

We saw Ain't Misbehavin'. It was very good, a very professional performance for a fairly small venue. They had great music and the actors were great. I would take others to this theatre located in a shopping center (so it's not the easiest to find) if I return to Houston.

The dinner was adequate, nothing outstanding, but then it is only $12 more than the theatre alone. The dessert was very good.
