We had a wonderful experience at Tallulah. Our server, Gabrielle was attentive, friendly and helpful and she made sure our dinner arrived as ordered, which doesn't always happen. We loved the Village Salad and the Beet Salad, both very fresh and bursting with flavor. The Carpaccio was also delicious. The pork chop was prepared exactly as requested as was the Branzino. We are looking forward to our next visit.

It's always an amazing experience at Tallulah. They take great care of you, and the food is top-notch. Anytime we go there and the owner, Mario, sees us, you would think we are his best patrons.
