Q and A from the owner:
How was the restaurant’s name created?
Well, the restaurant's name was sort of a fun mashup of things. We played around with the French word 'rue,' meaning street, and the local identity of '30A,' which is a big deal around here. So, we ended up with 'Roux,' throwing in a little foodie twist since it's a staple in so many classic sauces. It's funny, though, because being so close to New Orleans, some folks think we're a Cajun joint just from hearing the name!
Which dish or dishes are most popular?
One thing that's really caught on with our guests is our 'Around the World' dinner series. It's been a pet project of ours for years, where we put together a 5-course tasting menu featuring dishes from different countries. We've done over 80 of these dinners, highlighting flavors from 38 countries in total. It's been a hit with our customers and has become one of our go-to offerings.
Any information to pass along to the Regatta Bay residents?
While our mainstay remains our indulgent 6-course tasting menus, we're currently considering adding an Ă  la carte option on Tuesdays through Thursdays. Keep an eye out for updates as we explore this possibility, aiming for a potential launch this summer. The menu will feature a rotating seasonal selection, highlighting the freshest produce sourced from our farm partners.
