Started with the village bread half a loaf with a cup of lobster bisque. Always love when chunks of lobster meal is in the bisque. For the main meal had the Louisiana seafood medley, oh my that was so delicious man, perfection to the tee. Chef is the real deal.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

The garlic bread was off the charts! Everything we had was delicious, and we had a bit. The ambience was very nice. We’ll be back for more.

The service was exceptional. It mirrored the food all night. Everything from the bread to the desserts were delicious. The lasagna and veal were as good as we ever had at any restaurant. The Palermo, I think that's right, was melt in your mouth good. Don't forget the bread pudding or cheesecake. Completely worth it.

The restaurant appeared to be understaffed. We only saw our waiter when delivering our orders. Water glasses were not refilled, ever. Overall, service was slower than expected. Note that the dining room was not full.

First off there is no getting around you must order the bread (I am not known for saying this normally bread is just that BUT this is spectacular). Make sure you get all the sides that go with it and if you're on an anniversary like I was ensure that your spouse has the garlic as well. Service was amazing. The waitress certainly knew the menu very well, and made great recommendations. I would've loved to given this a five star but the veal chop tasted wonderful it was swimming in oil and butter. #lowcountrycajun

Food was subpar to say the least. Service was beyond slow for being empty. Would stay clear of this

On Saturday my husband and I went here for dinner. We arrived and were seated at a table in the bar area. Everything was good for the first few mins. After we ordered drinks and looked over the menu because it was our first time there.Each time we needed our server we had to call him over because he paid much more attention to his other tables than ours. Not sure of the reason but it was very obvious. We let him know we were ready to order and he let us know of the specials. I told him that’s what I wanted and he said gotcha and walked away. After a while of him attending to his other tables I called him back and asked had he put the order in and he asked what was it again. This time he wrote it down. My husband ordered the same thing but added lobster Mac & cheese as an additional side for his dinner. My food came out with my husband’s lobster Mac & cheese. The sever never came to check on us once I received my food. At this time we are still waiting on my husband’s food. So I call the server over again from another table to ask when will my husband’s food be out because it had been about 10mins. He said he’ll be right back. He came back stated he only put one order in as if we was sharing food which was very strange and we couldn’t understand why. We was so frustrated at this point, I no longer wanted to eat so we got the ticket and got my food to go. After leaving we had to stop and get my husband something to eat from Raising Canes and let’s just say the service was so much better

Great place for a business lunch. Great location and ambience. Decent wine list. But the lunch was a bit of a disappointment. The fish was overcooked and dry. The place was nearly empty when we event for lunch at 1:30.

The ambience was inviting as well as the smell and appetizers were tasty, especially the bread, but the entrees were a big disappointment. The chicken Marsala was not very tender and the mushrooms looked and tasted canned, the chicken parm was just average. Our server was very uninterested in serving us, and almost annoyed. They have fried deviled eggs and I asked how they are and her answer was that they are deviled eggs and asked if I ever ate them before? Quite rude. Our water was empty through most of our meal and I found a small piece of something in my food, nothing gross; it was like a small piece of ceramic. The server did take it off my tab which was good because I didn't want it.

Absolutely the best bread ever. Crusty on the outside, and soft on the inside. Served on just enough garlic and oil to be perfection. The lasagna had more meat than pasta. Very good flavor. The kitchen graciously accommodated a request for the clams to have red sauce instead of menu description.

Very, very lackluster. The only thing decent was the bread. Even then it wasn’t warm when I got it. The chicken limone was dry.The hostess shoved me in the smallest corner of the bar with hardly any room to put a plate in front of me. The bar staff were too busy chatting with each other and serving other guests. I’d rather eat fast food than return here.

The food was great, but the portions per price is awful. $18 for a half loaf of bread with an add on of garlic and sauce is robbery. The $32 main course dish had maybe one serving of thin spaghetti noodles. Only thing worth coming here for is the food but for a high price Drinks were good as well

Great happy hour, good food but portions are small. Great to go after work. Downtown is very small
