    We have always enjoyed the Pelican Club; it never disappoints. The food was excellent again, and brought out perfectly timed. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive, and gladly gave suggestions when asked. We sat in the room between the bar and the main dining room, which we loved because it wasn’t too loud. Highly recommend this gem that doesn’t get enough attention, in my opinion.

    We had a wonderful experience. First time dining at Tujsque’s. Lea, Victoria and Latonia (sp) did an awesome job taking care of our table. Loved the vegetarian option, as well as the Turkey and dressing .. only complaint was the way to divide up the bill… two were individual, two were together. Will still give 5. Stars

    Our experience at Muriel's is always good. We went for Thanksgiving and were very pleased. The staff was very friendly and did a stellar job of managing all of the patrons. The food was good. Our only complaint was that our broccolini was ice cold, but we didn't go there for that. 🙂 Honestly, with such a huge crowd, we were delighted that this was our only gripe. Well done Muriel's!

    Darla and Daniel were incredible waiters. Knowledgeable, great interaction. Food was perfect! Fried oysters with tasso gravy reduction was bomb. For those who don't know, tasso is Cajun smoked pork legs with extremely deep smoke. Then duck confit, thigh and drumb. Finished with peppermint ice cream and glacee drizzled with chocolate.
