   Good experience but the food and service weren’t as good as I expected. Granted it was a very busy night. Food was just okay.

   This was my first time. It was a recommendation. Since I’m from NWALINS. But sadly tíos was not good. I ordered the crab cake sandwich- the crab was mushy with zero flavor, my friends shrimp and grits was overpowered by bbq sauce, the appetizer pretzel was so hard. They tried to fix it but there wasn’t anything appealing.. was contemplating the salmon but saw it looked over cooked at the next table. They gave a dessert-red velvet cake but it was a circle cake that had been frozen inland it was served hard. The service was great and the Cesar salad was ok. It didn’t have any dressing and what was provided was very thick. I’m so sorry I couldn’t give a better review.

   Came here with a girlfriend for Galentines dinner but had to leave because I forgot she doesn’t eat seafood and we didn’t look at the menu before. :( Will have to come back to try

   Lovely restaurant. We were there for Valentine's Day. The lobster bisque was superb. We also had crab cakes for dinner. A little spicy for me but my husband loved them. Chocolate mouse was excellent. Red velvet cake was a little dry. Service was wonderful. Very sweet waiter. Overall good experience. I would return.

   Excellent food - this was a Valentine’s Day fixed price menu and top notch. Service was friendly and attentive. TV over the bar was slightly distracting - cooking programs? - music was nice. Wear on the walls and furniture shows. It’s been a while since they’ve painted etc. overall quite good, but $100/plate after tax and tip with a single glass of wine each? Well that’s Valentine’s Day for you, I guess.

   Just wanted to commend the waiter for our table on Valentine's Day. My wife has seafood allergies, and the waiter ensured that he instructed her of food that were not entangled with seafood per her allergies. Excellent service and always checked on us regularly. Great service by our waiter named Jimmy.

   Went for winter restaurant week. Everything was excellent! Gumbo, jambalaya and braised short ribs were amazing! As well as the service. 10/10

   We really enjoyed the Restaurant Week menu! The short ribs were amazingly tender and so tasty! Their steak on regular menu was also delicious. We will definitely come back to dine here!

    We were visiting the area for my birthday, & found the restaurant online, prior to arriving in town. We were very excited, because we like to try different restaurants when we’re traveling. The most unfortunate experience was the rudeness, indifferent, and non-attentive attitude of our waitress! I typically have the patience of Job, but last night’s experience was the worst that my wife & I have ever had (including overseas)! Additionally, my sister was visiting & she joined us…and couldn’t believe the horrible, unacceptable behavior of the waitress! She did not check on us throughout the evening. And when she did, she acted as if we were inconveniencing her. She did not smile & acted as if we did not matter. If we had a different waitress/waiter, our experience perhaps would have been favorable. We will not return, nor recommend this restaurant!
