if you want to have a better experience is better to dine in. But if you are thinking about takeout, i just spent $175 for 2 onions soup that the bowl spilled everywhere in the car because is made out of cardboard, i paid extra for shrimp THEY ONLY GIVE ME 4 pieces of shrimp!. Then for their bread you have to pay like texas roadhouse give it for free but i guess in here is not. The mash potatoes were super dry by the time i got home, if you wanna have a good experience just go inside thats the only reason im giving them 3 stars but for the price just go to ipanema of something that is more for your money. But is still a good place to go their onion soup is so good when they bring fresh made and they have great service in the inside.

Service and food seems to have really declined. Went to celebrate a birthday with friends tonight. Steak was undercooked, sent back twice finally just gave up. My pork tenderloins were undercooked as well, a little pink is okay but had to send those back as well. We are frequent diners there but will most likely scratch Braised Onion for our list going forward.

Had read reviews online that the French onion soup here was awesome...it was! But downhill from there. My fiancé's meal was the Braised Shortrib & he said it was a fancied up pot roast & the carrots on the plate still had the stems on them & the mashed potatoes only were seasoned with pepper & nothing else. Small portion $30...will say you can buy an entire pot roast at the store for much less & it will be so much better than this. I was so looking 4wrd to the Shrimp & Grits meal I ordered. Not sure if this is the norm for this meal, but had to peel & devain 6 shrimp before even beginning my meal, plus a run to the restroom to wash my hands. Both meals were brought out lukewarm at best. I mixed the shrimp with grits & took a bite. Shrimp tasteless, but grits were fantastic...that helped the overall meal...food almost cold. Had to hv server reheat. Got 2 desserts...khalua coffee ice cream(no taste of khalua detected). I got strawberry cheesecake that was described as being chocolate-dipped. It was not chocolate-dipped...only chocolate on top. Bland..no taste...just not good at all. We were both so royally disappointed as I'd bn wanting to come here for a long time. This epic disappointment was super expensive for 2 people at $120 + tip at 3:30 in the afternoon on a weekday. Our server was nice, but he was on his phone at the bar a lot of the time & didn't realize I had pushed my plate away for quite some time. Seems a server would know by carrying plates by hand that the meals aren't hot before setting them on the table. Once he saw it he tried not to acknowledge it...probably thinking I was going to ask for a free meal. I knew he was avoiding us when he was trying to go to his other table & I literally had to flag him down. Wouldn't it be better to address why I had done that than to avoid it? I was only wanting a reheat, which he did. I'm not sorry to suggest no one come here & expect anything more than subpar lukewarm plates of very small tasteless portions for outrageous prices. Don't say I didn't warn you. The 2 stars strictly are because the server was nice, though I wish I hadn't seen him on his phone any time he was not attending his 2 tables.

Absolutely terrible. We will never go back. We've been there several times in the past year with varying levels of satisfaction. Last night six of us went there and two of the meals were sent back (and nothing else ordered) and a third was unacceptable. The corned beef and cabbage was not edible and the eggplant parmesan was not cooked completely. The grouper was old and tasted fishy (even though the chef said it was fresh)--fresh grouper would not have a salty and fishy taste. We were not charged for the corned beef and eggplant. However, when the bill came they had the audacity to include the price of these items when they calculated the service charge (when this was brought to the attention of the manager he immediately fixed the bill). Terrible business practice. In the past we've had issues with the service but nothing like last nights food issues. Our waitress did a good job and was the only highlight to an otherwise awful experience. As I said, we will never go back. Tom P

We were a party of 12. The food was overall NOT that good.PROS: excellent tea, bread (delicious Italian Garlic bread style,which we had to pay for), good service (the guy hussled), Pork Tenderloin with mango, fried green tomato appetizerCONS: too expensive for the food and service, meatloaf is not that good (confirmed by 3 people in our party over 2 visits) Quiche was very dry, Wonton appetizer very subpar, servers not up to par with price, very dated interior, Po Boy Grouper sandwich was borderline a joke for $25 range. It reminded me of a cafeteria fish sandwhich. Others in our group not real happy with the food. We were there at 2pm for lunch. We've been there many times over the years. It seems like the food has gone downhill for sure. Way overpriced for what you get.
