However, we felt like our food was just OK. We got the calamari and there wasn't anything unique about it, but it was good. My Caesar salad was a little odd. It did not taste like Cesar at all. The lasagna was just ok. We were quite disappointed in the chicken fried steak. It did not seem like it was seasoned at all, the batter was very bland and unfortunately, adding salt and pepper didn't do much because it would've been better if the batter itself was seasoned. I would return to this location, but maybe not have my hopes up so much to have a good meal. The prices are fair for what you get.

We had a few people cancel before coming in. Once again, nobody answered the phone before we arrived. The server wasn't inviting when we arrived. He said, you told us a table for 15. We ended being a party of 9. We had mediocre food and rude service. They weren't friendly, our server took our order and never came back to check on us. We could hear how he spoke to other customers too. We did actually get our water refilled from one of the other staff. The server didn't offer us any dessert. We felt rushed to leave. One guest asked for dessert and he said they one had one type of dessert. The staff at the hotel wasn't friendly either. We stopped by to look around and not one person spoke to us. We left and went to Must Be Heaven for dessert. We should've gone there for lunch but we wanted to support another local business.

Saw that an old Taco places had people sitting down and eating so we gave it ago. The owner was super friendly and sat us without a reservation. When I say surprised, cheated and floored that we didn't notice the change in restaurants in the year and a half they've been opened! The servers were first off some of the kindest ones. Each of them that came to our table we're awesome. This old lady didn't catch the name to our server, but he deserves extra points for answering all my questions and allowing me to take menus back to the hotel I work at! My hubby and I weren't starving and we decided to share a small plate and one main dish. The Mozzarella Tartine had an excellent taste. N ended to be less charred. A bit difficult to cut into with a butter knife. The Steak Frites my friends was one of our top favorite piece of steak we have had since moving to Texas 26 years ago!! We could cut the meat with our forks. The fries were perfectly seasoned and crisp and that aioli -- I will take a bottle! Restaurant had perfect lighting and truly classy looking decor. This is a place you need to bring your significant other or best friend and enjoy. We were told that their lunch menu basically stays the same, but their dinner and brunch menu change on occasion and last night was obviously their special occasion menu.

We told them that we were visiting from out of town and they were a wealth of information giving us suggestions on what to do.

Not soggy but crisp and delicious. The fish was cooked just right. Hubby had the same only he added the étouffée to his and truly enjoyed it.

To be honest the bread was adequate and I skipped on it. I only ate the shrimp. But darn it was good. No, I don't have a problem with bread, or gluten. If they had used an Amarosa roll I would be giving a "10," but they didn't. 2nd trip; this is just a solid place. At least for the two occasions I was there. Good cook days. Services were fine. The waiter we had was young and this might have been his first service job. I had to call him for assistance, due to being busy and it wasn't that full. Other things tried, hamburger steak and scallops. But very good. The interior is dated but clean.

Heck even took the table next to me who was the 4th then walked away without even acknowledging my presence.

The salad was standard nothing special. The fries had some spices and what could be parmesano cheese but you could not tell by the flavor which was bland. The etouffe though was fairly tasty. Not as good as my homemade version but still not bad. Only caveat was the portion could have been about a quarter or so more.
