New York Strip steak is on the carving station with garlic-herb tilapia, cheese ravioli and chicken teriyaki rounding out the main courses. A “Creole favorites” station is also included and is loaded with delicious jambalaya, red beans and cornbread. Tiramisu, fresh fruit and homemade cookies then round out the meal.
