“My daughter has wanted me to come for a while now and today was my first ever visit. I love that there were “secret cookies” my daughter didn’t know existed! So I got to surprise her and that was nice. I will say these cookies seemed underdone to me at first but it could just be that they’re meant to be soft. We bought a big pack and the young lady up front this morning was able to tell me every detail of what I was looking at when picking the cookies. She also had excellent customer service! It was just so nice overall and I will be coming back!”

“Just wanted to drop by and say that we had an amazing experience at Turgeau's this morning. Our youngest son is newly diagnosed with celiac disease and just starting to feel better. Going out for a meal causes some nervousness but he REALLY wanted pancakes (I just miss having pancakes 😔). Not only were the staff well educated on cross contamination precautions, they were also very helpful with making sure his selections were safe. Plus, they have a catering menu for Christmas dinner. We will be back!”

“We have been about 6 times with friends and everyone loved everything we tried. The food is fresh with multiple layers of flavor. The negative ratings are about service or wait times. (Which we have not had a problem with) But the food is what matters! I recommend the poblano rice and plantains as sides. Nachos as an appetizer or entree because it is not a hunk of cheese melted on old repeatedly fried chips we find everywhere else. The guacamole is the best I have ever had. But, as a dessert gal, I have tried them all and there is not one I would not get againm(hint: the chocolate cake with flan on top is my favorite)”

We decided to go with three separate cakes, each with a different flavor—White Chocolate Strawberry, Chocolate Espresso, and Almond—and each one exceeded our expectations.

Dustin was incredibly easy to work with responsive, flexible, and kind throughout the planning process. The food was out of this world. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how good it was! And the portions….wow. They didn’t just feed us, they abundantly fed us. No one left hungry, and we had plenty to enjoy afterward. It felt like they truly cared about making our event special. Highly recommend Palmisano’s for anyone looking for top-notch catering with heart, flavor, and fantastic service!”

“Back in town for a quick trip, I was excited to see that Boulevard had opened a new location in the Warehouse District. Since the Elmwood and original locations have always been fantastic, I knew I had to stop in. There were four of us for lunch, and from the moment we walked in, we were greeted with true Southern hospitality. Our server, Joel, welcomed us warmly and gave great recommendations for both appetizers and entrées. For appetizers, we ordered the spinach dip, smoked salmon, deviled eggs, and BBQ shrimp. Everything was delicious, but the smoked salmon stood out—it tasted even better than I remembered! The new bread served with the shrimp was also a great touch. For our entrées, we had the double crab cakes (packed with more crab than I’ve ever had in a restaurant), the roasted half chicken (perfectly cooked and melt-in-your-mouth tender, even the breast meat was moist), the grilled redfish, and a fresh, well-prepared salad. Each dish was excellent, showcasing the quality and attention to detail that Boulevard is known for. This new location is a fantastic addition to their portfolio. As we were leaving, I noticed the grab-and-go section—such a great option for anyone working nearby! Thank you for bringing Boulevard closer to the CBD. When time is limited, it’s great to have a location that’s easier to get to. I’ll definitely be back!”

“We came in today like a sweaty, chaotic whirlwind after spending the morning at Global Wildlife. Our server, Brooklyn (I believe was her name & if I’m wrong I’m so sorry, I was frazzled) was incredibly patient & friendly from the very start. Our 6 year old son is autistic & was NOT a fan of GW. He was on the verge of a spiral & the only thing he could verbalize was that he wanted pizza. Brooklyn & her manager came to our table, we came up with a game plan and they makeshift created a “pizza” on the spot for my little dude with no hesitation. Y’all truly don’t know how grateful I am to the staff of this restaurant today for helping make this mamas day just a little easier. They accommodated us with a smile, when they easily could have said, sorry we don’t have pizza. Brooklyn & her manager provided absolutely stellar service!! Make sure you ask for her section & tip her big, cause miss Brooklyn deserves a RAISE!!!”

“Visited today for the first time. Upon arrival we were welcomed by Greg at the front door offering High 5's, and were promptly walked through the process of how to order and what to expect. Appetizers came out quickly, (which the fried pickles were perfect), and the entrees came out quickly after that and were also incredible. Customer service was phenomenal all around. From the beginning to the end, staff were attentive and engaging. Greg even showed us the wall of hot sauce that is available for customer use. After our meals we opted to purchase some of their sweet goodies that were near the register, which turns out are crafted by someone who works there and were out of this world! Overall, the experience was one of the absolute best we have had at a restaurant. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.”

“I usually hate traveling down 190 because of all the traffic but this store is so great for their promptness and ability to crank out an order quickly it’s worth it. Never once had an item come up missing or the food take any longer than the tracker says. It also helps that Domino’s upped their game food-wise and it’s the better of all the huge national chains now by a mile.”
“By far the best sushi and sashimi I have ever eaten! Delicious and very fresh. I love going in and just letting them feed us.”
