Father's Day Dining Illness - Felix's Restaurant & Oyster Bar, New Orleans Louisiana

7400 Lakeshore Drive, New Orleans, 70124 Louisiana, United States

It was very hot in the dining room on Father's Day (June 18). I became violently ill at 2 a.m. overnight, and I was quite ill until the morning of June 22. My girlfriend also became ill, but not as acutely as me, nor for as long. I had severe abdominal pain in waves, bloating and occasionally diarrhea. I could not eat, and I could barely hold down water for days. What I ate: Brussels sprouts appetizer, which was served on a bed of lettuce. The dish had to be returned to the kitchen because they forgot to put the balsamic glaze on it. My girlfriend and I both ate it, but I had more. Then we both tasted the dish she ordered: chilean sea bass with some sort of rice underneath it. She ate more than I did. I did not taste anything that indicated spoilage, but it was hot enough in the dining room that we were sweating, and I assume it was hotter still in the kitchen. Not sure how that affected the food preparation. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Bloating, Sweating
