I am deeply disappointed by how my employment ended. Before I was fired, my manager made it clear…read morethat she didn't like my boyfriend because he had worked there years ago. After that, it felt like I was being judged because of my association with him instead of my own work and how I treated customers. I have never been fired from a job before, which made this experience even more heartbreaking. I was never given an opportunity to address any concerns or improve before my employment was terminated. Rather than discussing any meaningful performance issues, I was given a vague excuse, that I let a customer in five minutes before opening. We are in the hospitality business. I wasn't going to leave someone standing outside in the Louisiana heat when I could simply welcome them inside and have them wait a few minutes. To me, that's what hospitality is. After I was fired, my boyfriend was also banned from the business. That only reinforced the impression I had from the beginning: that personal feelings about him played a role in how I was viewed and how the situation was handled. I left feeling blindsided and confused. I was there for 2 weeks and the day I was fired, was my first morning shift by myself. I'm going to make a mistake I'm new. Based on my experience, it seemed like personal feelings mattered more than fairness, and that was incredibly disappointing. It left me with the impression that this is simply how this manager chooses to make decisions, and that doesn't reflect the kind of leadership I believe employees deserve. Thank you for reading Love and light

Alex, our server, was incredibly knowledgeable and stellar at ensuring we had a wonderful meal. The restaurant wasn't overly busy, which I enjoyed. I was very happy to have a nice, calm, paced meal without the hustle and bustle similar of that to nearby restaurants. The vibes were exactly what we needed!

I don't know why it's taken me so long to review Baba Kabob when I love the food here so much. The…read moredecor inside has upscale middle eastern vibes. The staff is super welcoming and kind. Service can sometimes be a bit slow since there aren't usually many waitstaff working, but the food makes up for it, especially the bread. The hot, soft, fresh from the oven pita bread is so delicious it's hard to remember to save room for the food. As to the food, I haven't tried anything I didn't like. The grape leaves are large and delicious. The hummus is some of the best around. The kebobs are flavorful and presented beautifully. The clay oven menu items are presented with fire, which is always fun. When the kids order a pizza, they get to make it themselves in the kitchen with the friendly, kind staff. Oh, and the salad that comes with many of the entrees is deliciously garlicky and full of feta. We always leave full and with too many leftovers.

After my first visit, I knew I would return, and my second experience confirmed exactly why so many…read morelocals continue to support Poseidon's. The food was just as delicious as I remembered. I once again ordered the lamb chops with the seafood pasta, and it was every bit as satisfying as the first time. The lamb chops were tender and cooked perfectly, and the seafood pasta was rich, flavorful, and comforting. I also had the opportunity to try some of the grouper special from another guest's plate, and it was equally impressive. The service, however, was very similar to my first visit. You do have to be somewhat proactive in getting your server's attention, and there can be periods where you feel overlooked. As we were leaving, I noticed the restaurant vehicle outside with a phrase along the lines of "Questionable service, great food," and honestly, that sums up the experience quite well. What Poseidon's may occasionally lack in attentive service, it more than makes up for with consistently excellent food. It is clear that many of the guests are regulars who come in several times a week for a great meal, a good drink, and the comfort of a familiar neighborhood restaurant. After two visits, I can understand exactly why.

Came here on a Thursday evening after flying in from San Diego. The place stays busy so my mom made…read morea reservation a few days in advance and was able to get us in at 7:45 pm. First off, the restaurant is absolutely adorable. There's a beautiful wine wall when you walk in, and they even offer a stack of wines you can purchase for $30 with no corkage fee, which is such a great deal. We ended up getting two bottles. We were seated in the back area, which was quiet with just a few other groups around. It was a really cute and cozy space. We ordered: * Arancini: good flavor, but a little dry. * Burrata: absolutely phenomenal. The cheese was delicious, and the beets and tomatoes tasted incredibly fresh and organic. * Chicken Piccata: this completely stole the show. The chicken was perfectly cooked and had so much flavor. The pasta served alongside it was very plain though. * Alla Vodka with Shrimp (added): we added shrimp for some extra protein. The dish was definitely on the heavier side. Our waitress recommended it, but I probably would have chosen something else if I had known. It was very rich. The one thing worth noting is that our appetizers came out pretty quickly, probably within 10-15 minutes, but we ended up waiting close to an hour for our entrées. They definitely should have paced the appetizers out a little better if the main courses were going to take that long to arrive. Overall, the service was phenomenal, the atmosphere was charming, and the wine specials were fantastic. I'd definitely come back, especially for the chicken piccata.

It took awhile for us to get a reservation here, and I now under the hype. The whole experience was…read moreexcellent. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our table was near the bar, which was packed. I assume this is why the room was very loud - so loud it was hard to hear the person across the table. That was our only negative note of the evening. Our server acknowledged us almost immediately and was attentive but not intrusive throughout the evening.We ordered drinks which were served surprisingly quickly considering how busy the bar was. We accepted the offer of bread, which was an outstanding focaccia. We started with the crudo - it changes and was yellowtail that night. It was super fresh, perfectly sliced and trimmed (no icky bits), and simply dressed with lemon, olive oil, salt and crushed pink peppercorns. I had a mista salad, which was great, but my husband's Caesar stole the show. The dressing was clearly house made and the best we've had in a long time. I ordered the pork cheeks, and they were tender, very rich and flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised that the polenta was delectable in its own right and not just a bland base. The portion size was huge. My husband ordered the special, a white puttanesca with shrimp. It was deliciously complex and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. We took dessert to go - tiramisu and a cannoli. Both were superb. One of the owners checked in with us, which is a practice that's become much less common but is always appreciated. His pride in the establishment and pleasure at our enjoyment were apparent. I can see why this place is so popular and I'm sure it will become a part of our rotation.
