Gluten Free Chicken Alfredo
Grace G.

A neat little restaurant with a homey feel. The food and service was great. They were knowledgeable regarding the gluten-free diet which is big for me because of food allergies! We will be back!

soft shell crab Pasta Pimavera
Tanya C.

had dinner at cerami's last night with friends. i ordered the soft shell crab special and it was delicious. i didn't want the creamy cajun sauce so our server recommended a different sauce that was perfect for me. i think it was called the cerami sauce? regardless, i enjoyed it so much that we've already made a reservation to return next week. the bar inside was filled with daily locals but was still welcoming to outsiders. decor is pretty standard old school italian but the musician adds a nice touch. each entree is served with a salad that is tasty and goid arrives quickly. perhaps just a bit too quickly, although my food was tasty, it wasn't hot. it was warm but not hot which would gave made all the difference

New York cheesecake

Everything about the food and atmosphere was wonderful. Friday night with live music, great food, and a neat assortment of decorations. As amazing as those things were, however, our waitress was equally as unfriended. She looked irritated to take our order, didn't refill our drinks, and looked genuinely unhappy to be at work. I imagine that's an exception, because all the other servers we saw looked happy and eager to help their tables. A must eat in Jackson, just hope you don't get our server.

Amaretto Bread Pudding

Back again and another 5 star meal! You can't go wrong with anything! Don't skip the dessert, the bread pudding is amazing.

I'm confused why this spot doesn't have 5 stars! Obviously people don't know delicious food!…read more Okay y'all... we drove 3 1/2 hours with a party of six just to check this place out, and let me tell you -- SO worth the trip! From the moment we walked up, the vibe was pure vacation mode: bright umbrellas, good music, and that gorgeous waterfront view that makes you wanna stay all day. Appetizers: We went all in -- charbroiled oysters, raw oysters, gator bites, fried green tomatoes, spinach dip, and a side salad (not pictured because it didn't last long ). Every single bite was on point! The charbroiled oysters? Buttery, smoky perfection. Gator bites? Crispy outside, tender inside, and seasoned just right. Not a single miss here! Entrées: We covered the menu like pros -- fried platter, blackened platter, blackened alligator tacos, redfish, bang bang shrimp tacos, and a side of hushpuppies (because who skips hushpuppies?). EVERYTHING came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The bang bang shrimp tacos had that sweet heat you crave, and the blackened alligator tacos? Hands-down one of my faves of the night. Service + Atmosphere: The staff was friendly, professional, and fast, which made the whole experience even better. The timing was perfect -- no long waits, just smooth service and chill energy all around. And let's talk about that view! Sitting by the water watching the boats roll in while the sun set? 10/10 ambiance. Final Thoughts: I have no clue why this place is sitting at 3 1/2 stars, because our experience was solid 5 all day long. Food, drinks, view, staff -- everything hit. Shaggy's is that feel-good, toes-in-the-sand kinda spot that deserves more love. If you're thinking about going, GO. Order the oysters, grab a cocktail, and let the breeze do the rest. #seafoodlovers #gulfvibes, #worththedrive

This is my 2nd review of Backwater Grill because...well, frankly...I think they deserve it…read more Here is the thing about Mississippi: You buy your days on credit. You get these magical 73º days in March and April (and maybe even May), fully understanding you are going to have to pay the piper come June, July, and August. But while you have them, you treasure them. The sun shines bright, but with warm welcome, not a glaring intensity. The cool breeze carries the scent of red maples, azaleas, dogwood, redbud, Yoshino Cherry trees, and, sweetest of them all, honeysuckle. The sky is a tropical blue, like you might see sitting on some tropical island with a name you struggle to pronounce. So why would you spend a Saturday afternoon like this inside, when you can sit outside, looking at the backwaters, and enjoying a delicious meal? This is my 4th trip to Backwater. Lunch, brunch, dinner, and now lunch again. So far, they never disappoint. It is early in the crawfish season, so my expectations are not high, but Backwater delivered just the same. Their weight scales are generous and their seasoning is excellent. The shrimp? Well, they are normally my 2nd choice behind crawfish, but these reds are big and succulent and juicy. Some of the best I have had. The beer selection is excellent and served icy cold, which is a good thing, because the potatoes and corn will burn your lips (if you aren't "from here", that is a good thing). But if you don't indulge, no worries...the sweet tea would make your Mama proud. And the ambience? Well, what can I say? Perfect. I can't believe it has taken this long for somebody to make use of the beautiful backwaters of the Reservoir. It is prime "Mississippi" and the owners are genius and clearly willing to put in a massive amount of work and effort to make eating at Backwater Grill a true Mississippi experience. If you are in the area, or even if you have to drive to get here, do yourself a favor: visit Backwater Grill. Next visit, I'm trying trying a burger for sure.

The servers and staff were very attentive and supportive of our young kid even after we had a drink…read morespill (oops!) I'd say the ambiance is the biggest seller of this establishment as the outdoor area is relaxing and rife with things to do for outdoor parties or sporting events. Not my scene, but they have a great set up. The food is good albeit pricey. My wrap was close to $16, had no sides, and the drink wasn't included either. The shrimp was cooked well and uniquely, the tortilla was also seasoned. All parts of it were good, but it needed some sort of sauce or something to balance out the saltiness. Overall, it was a Good experience, but not a place I'd visit frequently as it is definitely set up as a tourist-y/bar type place with the activities and the prices that go with it. Would be great for a get together or work event.

After a successful purchase and a hemorrhaging from my credit card, we opted to celebrate the occasion with a meal. And Lo and behold Table 100 was just across the street from where we were. Ambiance 4 Stars - as you walk into the establishment, you are transported back where the warm wood interior, cozy white table cloth tables or booths, high end bar drinks, and classy servers in their white or black attire are waiting to serve you. There plenty of tables and booths to seat a plentiful of patrons. And if you need a little bit more private, you can request a private room depending how many are in the party. 4.5 Stars - Service: our server, Andrew was wonderful, professional and has a great sense of humor. We bantered throughout our dinner but the conversation never crossed over to make anyone uncomfortable. He was observant of our needs and when to bring our next course. Our glasses stayed full with our beverage. 4.25 Stars - Food We ordered from the dinner menu instead of lunch due to our timing at 3:00. Let's just call it "Linner". Haha. 4 Stars - Grilled Swordfish- My wife ordered the dish and came with a decent size grilled swordfish fish, sauté spinach, creamed mash potatoes, and a beurre blanc sauce (lemon, butter and dry white wine). The swordfish was thick and moist; not dry at all. The beurre blanc balanced the bland spinach and the seasoned swordfish. The creamed potatoes were creamy, buttery's and not too salty. 3.75 Stars - Pan seared Redfish with cube fried potatoes, sauté green beans, beurre blanc sauce and top w a Chilean tomato salsa. The redfish was moist and tasty but I wish it had a little bit seared on it for a crunchy factor. The cubed potatoes were good but nothing to write about. The fresh sauté green beans could have a bit more garlic butter. 3.5 Stars Side dish: Deep Fried Brussel Sprouts. Hot, steamy and fresh. Has a slight crunch on the exterior leaves and was seasoned w a sprinkle of salt. 3.75 Dessert: Crème Brûlée and coffee. The crème brûlée crust was crunchy and the vanilla egg custard was good and smooth. It would have been better was a scoop of fresh whipped cream to go with the fresh fruit and crunchy layer. 5 Stars - French pressed Italian coffee. The coffee was a highlight of the dessert. It was hot, fresh, and strong. Just like an Italian coffee should be. It was between an espresso and caffe' Americano. Our, server, Andrew did a wonderful job on the coffee! I definitely recommend this place and we will be back. Don't forget to ask for Andrew, if he is available.
