Gayle the owner of both places set me up to have cocktails and appetizers at her sister restaurant Hydro Grill before going across the street to All Season Caf\u00e9 for dinner, her and husband Alex own both restaurants. What she failed to tell me was that bartender Naradia did not know anything about my tasting and Gayle was nowhere to be found. I tried to explain to her what was all about to transpire but she did not understand. I left Gayle\u2019s phone number at my room 3 blocks away so I had to figure something else out. Naradia left a message with Alex, Gayle\u2019s husband, but we never got a response. I called All Seasons Caf\u00e9 to ask if they knew about my tasting and Jimmy Fallon came to my rescue. No not that Jimmy Fallon, he\u2019s taping his show in New York City. This was another Jimmy Fallon, equally as funny though, and on this starry night he became my hero. He said, \u201cOh of course your Jodi Jackson, we have been waiting for you. Skip your appetizers at Hydro Grill and come enjoy them here!\u201d Jimmy Fallon came over to Hydro Grill to meet me, and said \u201cwhen your ready come on over!!\u201d. Jimmy Fallon is the manager at the impeccable All Seasons Caf\u00e9, Gayle must have told him about my tasting.<\/p>\n

Naradia turned out to be a perfect mixologist with all of her magical New Orleans bar business history. She came up with some serious concoctions, all of which were spectacular.<\/p>\n

Here are the cocktails I tried;<\/p>\n

Mango Cosmopolitan, rich mango flavor with nice balanced vodka overtones, makes this one a frontrunner for me.<\/p>\n

Blue Orchid Margarita, sweet and lively, this is another great mixed cocktail.<\/p>\n

Wild Orchid, Citrus Vodka, Mailibu Rum, Pinapple and Cranberry. This is a very refreshing lively cocktail. I would order this one for sure.<\/p>\n

I did not try the food, but it looked like there were a lot of happy faces, so next time I would stop in for a delectable cocktail and a Hydro Grill menu item.<\/p>\n
