    My husband is still talking about the red beans and rice. The sweet pot beignets were amazing. Everything was really tasty and I loved our server too.

    Great experience! Love the creativity of the food and drinks! They did not disappoint. We got a dish complements of the chef which was nice and I really enjoyed myself. My wife and I are spending a couple days here and we love good food and drinks. This place is so good, I actually may go back while we are on this trip. If you are considering good food, drink, and value please look no further and do not fall for the tourist restaurants. This place is the real deal.

    It all started with Jason, our server. He made the experience easy and amazing throughout! The drinks (old fashion) and the salad starters (get the Caeser!) were 5 stars! Make Tana on your rotation and enjoy the atmosphere!

    A wonderful three course meal was in store for Christmas Day! I was hoping for Fire-Grilled Oysters, but not offered on their special Christmas Day menu. However, an incredible Gumbo and a slightly spicy Corn-Crab Bisque took their place. Followed by the best Crab Cake ever, and that includes all the ones I used to get in Maryland and Virginia! Next, my partner ordered the Shrimp Cappellini Pasta topped with lump crab meat - exceptionally seasoned pasta and shrimp cooked to perfection. I ordered the Snapper Hemingway - Snapper with a Parmesan Crust topped with lump crab meat and a lemon butter sauce, served with Pimento Cheese Grits and grilled Asparagus. So incredibly tasty! The Pimento Cheese Grits were the perfect companion to the crisp, crunch of the Parmesan crusted Snapper. The only downside to the meal was the grilled Asparagus which was woody and mushy. We ended our feast with a rich, creamy Key Lime Pie - the real kind, not that fake green stuff that is served all too often. A truly excellent meal with very attentive wait staff who seemed to magically appear just when you needed them. Bravo!
