Editorial Review for Stan's Place – by Erin Behan
The Scene
A touch of the French Quarter inspires this New Orleans-themed restaurant. Wooden floors and stately coffee bar gleam under the lamp-light with plants lining the small unused balcony. Tables are widely spaced, and service is friendly but inefficient.
The Food
To get a classic po'boy, you'll have to stop by for lunch or brunch, when salads, muffuletta and pressed sandwiches are served. For dinner, spicy shrimp and turbid gumbo work as typical, though not innovative, Southern appetizers, while cornbread is of the sweet, cakier variety. The fried chicken showcases the kitchen at its best; its thin perfectly crisped skin conceals a moist, succulent bird. Entrees don't always come as advertised--sometimes missing a promised ingredient. The talapia filet sits in a delicate sauce and salty short ribs deliver tenderness, albeit without the expected deep flavor. Order up a cafe au lait with chicory instead of ho-hum desserts like sweet potato pie or beignets.

I can officially say that I had the worst dining experience of my life here. Did it say on their web site that the chef had creole culinary training? Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and say that when my boyfriend & I went there their "highly trained" chef was on vacation and the lowly assistant who never paid attention when being taught was manning the stove... Anyway, I ordered the blackened catfish & I swear they try to torture the diners with black pepper. I can promise you that all this fish was seasoned with was black pepper & TONS of it - nothing else!!!! What annoys me is that my boyfriend and I just came back from New Orleans & we stumbled upon this disaster of a restaurant by mistake. In New Orleans we dined @ KPauls who has the best blackened anything you can imagine. We didn't expect the same quality but at least edible. Normally I don't complain when a meal isn't great but I couldn't continue to commit suicide with every bite. We told the server that it was bad & all she did was smile & shrug. Yeah dumb smile and shrug... While it would have been nice of her to offer a substitute, she offered nothing!!! At any rate, we put that bad experience to bed and have vowed NEVER to go back. If they ever tried to open this horror in New Orleans, they'd be run out of town on the first street car.
Pros: Pretty Decor
Cons: Horrible Food

i found stans place googling new orleans style beignets in new york. i was thrilled to read they use cafe du monde mix and coffee. i rode my bike from boro park to try them out. first of all, my cafe au lait had a thick topping of foam; something never seen at cafe du monde and the beignets were thin and undercooked and tasted nothing like the original. with tip i spent $10. i left disappointed. the place looks and feels nice and the staff was friendly. as for authentic new orleans style beignets and cafe au lait, the search continues.
