   Very disappointed with this restaurant based on reviews. Floors smelled like pine-sol, bar service was slow and food arrived cold.

   Made reservations for a party of four, called restaurant to revise it to 6 a week prior as they do not take online reservations greater than a party of four. Arrived and they did not have reservation but they were able to accommodate. Service was poor, ordered a bottle of wine for those that did not order mixed drinks, waitress brought bottle, followed by mixed drinks, 10 minutes later had to ask that bottle be opened for those having wine. One individual in our party ordered the redfish, all other dishes arrived except the redfish. Waitress forgot to place order. Dish arrived after everyone else was done. Unlikely to return and give it a second chance with so many other great restaurants for locals(and visitors).

   Hostess at the front was rude and unpleasant. Two of them at the front were arguing between themselves. One if them tried to seat me at the worst table ( twice) until I insisted for a better table. There were several empty tables scattered all through the restaurant even when I was leaving. The rest of the crew were awesome- bar tender and the servers- they were awesome. I did reserve a table far in advance.

   Thank you for your feedback on your recent visit. Although we did well in most categories, we obviously had an issue at the front door that evening. I have addressed and coached our team so that we can do improve our presence upon arrival at our restaurant.

   Service was extremely slow for a restaurant that was nearly empty. The duck gumbo was not good at all. The rule was extremely thick and it was extremely salty. The fried chicken dish with red beans and rice was pretty decent and the fried chicken was fresh. Overall, food was just fair and likely would not return.

   It took us over an hour to get our meals. The service was just horrible.

   Our waiter was 75% deaf as he informed us. He was very slow. We ordered cocktails and the glasses were dirty. The fried green tomatoes were not fully ripe so they were not as tender and the batter was very thick. The blacked drum fish was good however it wasn’t blackened. The scallop fettuccine was good. I advised that we were celebrating our anniversary however it was not acknowledged. It was an underwhelming experience and we won’t be back.

    Drinks didn't arrive until 20 minutes into ordering. Food was lukewarm at best, and the vegetables seemed to be reheated from frozen vegetables.
