    On 12/21/2024, me and my husband were seated against the wall at a high table for two. The table was super small and the bar seats were very uncomfortable. The bar seat felt as if you had to brace yourself so you would not slide down. I went and asked the host could we sit at a lower table. I could tell she had an attitude due to the look on her face. She said to me, I can move yall but you can only sit there for a hour and a half. The nerve of her to sound so rude!!!!! If yall want people to enjoy themselves hell allow them to sit comfortably. As for the food after being seated at a table comfortably, I give it a 1000/10.

    SUPERLATIVE service and FANTASTIC dishes! The attention to detail at Tsunami is one of their trademarks. Order anything; this is a "you-can't-go-wrong" type of place. I had the spice crusted tuna on cucumber salad with wasabi vinaigrette, and it was PERFECTION. And don't skip the homemade bread + butter -- it's one of the stars of the show, for sure!

    12/20/24 me and my girlfriends had our annual Christmas gathering and we choose to have a dinner setting this year and Itta Bena was on my TOP list to try something different with the ambience. The food was AMAZING!!! It was so good and quality worth. I had the stuff shrimp for appetizer and my entree was the Tomahawk Pork Chop with sweet potatoes and brussels sprout and it was soooo good and plenty. I also had a glass of Merlot with Beringer being the maker and it was good as well. WE tried the short ribs, chicken and lamb chops also and they were pleasantly pleased as well. Definitely will be going back and our server i think her name "Jackie"? she was fantastic....

    My friends and I were celebrating our 60th Deltaversary in our sorority. Our server Tim group 9 was so warm and welcoming. We were able to get the Wednesday special - short ribs of beef which melted in your mouth. The dish was perfectly seasoned. The collard greens were tasty as was the mashed sweet potatoes. The restaurant was packed but the service was quick and on point. Thanks for a wo needful celebration
