This was my first time trying this place, & I'm honestly a little disappointed. I first tried to place the order online, apparently the order was never processed through because I never received a confirmation email. So I called the order in. Service over the phone was quick & easy. The flavor on the gumbo was great, just slightly salty but overall great taste. Great seafood to veggies ratio. The rice on the other hand completely uncooked & crunchy. It's pretty noticeable in the picture. Not sure how they could miss this, The rice literally rattled in the contained. I don't know about anyone else but gumbo isn't gumbo without rice. Overall experience was read more

Although it was hot when we walked in, I gave Gotti's the benefit of the doubt. I shouldn't have. Fix your A/C! Black folks don't like being hot. Honestly, as soon as I saw the portions, I was disappointed and had immediately decided that I'd never visit this place again. I paid $42 for 3 skimpy lamb chops. I needed the lamb from the daddy, not the newborn, for that price. My grits were cold, which is crazy because grits are literally one food that holds heat for a long time. My party's fish was hot so I know that my food must've been sitting to the side. The food is terribly overpriced. Flavors - good. Portions - skimpy. Price - robbery. The food came out fast. We beat the brunch rush. Not sure how this review would have gone had we been there in the midst of that rush. This review would've been a -2, probably. The waiter didn't come back around after we got our food. As a Black owned establishment, I'm disappointed but not surprised. read more

Was here this past Sunday for brunch, had a reservation for 6 ppl for 1pm I walked in at 115pm and they said my table was given away had to wait an Hour no Grace period .. but once you are seated everything is good. The food , the dj, drinks etc .. the place is small so I don't think this a spot for larger parties . I still would recommend. Just be prepared to wait a bit read more

I was sooo excited to finally make it here because it's been on my list for a minute. I don't frequent downtown resturants because I hate searching for parking. However, we were able to walk from the convention center. When we walked in, we stood there for a few minutes before being acknowledged. We looked at them...they looked at us...and finally made there way over. We were seated and it took a minute to be asked for our drinks. We could clearly see they were lightly staffed and that lots of customers had empty tables still, but we still took a chance. We ordered drinks. The sidecar tasted more like orange juice. A friend had a martini that was too sweet so she sent it back and got wine. The wine glass had lipstick on it. The manager went to change the glass, but she never made it back. Another friend had brown stuff in her sprite so she only felt safe with bottled water. We patiently wait for our food as the 1 chef in the kitchen moves at what seems to be a slow pace. We literally watch people leave without getting their food. A hour and a half passes and we finally get food! And then it's Luke warm. We were sooo disappointed. The egg rolls were good. Once I got home and microwaved it, my grilled fish and shrimp were good. The fish and grits looked like a small plate. Yall know I love my BOB's...but this one was very disappointing. And on top of all things...I forgot to check in real time and today I see I could have got 15% off from yelp!!! read more

We had reservations on 10/7/24 at 10pm. Came in, music was loud and host couldn't even hear my name for me to check in. She looked around and no table was ready for us. The only table she managed to seat us in was the table right behind the live band. In my head, I knew things weren't going to go well from there. The host said our server will be with us shortly, but 45 minutes of waiting we decided to leave. We were forgotten about and band was extremely loud for how small the place was. We didn't even get to be served water, how devastating. It was my husbands birthday and we decided to go here plus it was close to our airbnb. We're from out of town, so if we knew this was going to happen, we would've went to our usual places instead of trying somewhere new like Gotti's. read more

This was our second time dining at Gotti's, and we attended for their Tacos and Crab Legs Tuesdays. Our experience was fantastic, largely due to our wonderful waiter, Maj. He was incredibly engaging, attentive to our needs, always friendly and professional. Maj made sure we had everything we needed and added a personal touch that made our visit even more enjoyable. He deserves a raise; if it were up to me, I would give him a raise. We can't wait to come back for another delightful evening at Gotti's, thank you Maj for your exceptional service! read more

Good food! Excellent Service. A cool vibe. My server LaKeith was so friendly & nice. He explained the menu & made recommendations since it was our 1st time. He came back to check on us several times. The GM was awesome. He immediately recognized us & treated us superb. I enjoyed my visit. The drinks were amazing. Please don't hesitate to visit . read more

I love the vibe here - live dj (it is pretty loud) I love the food - I had lobster w/gottis seafood They have hookah....Say less read more

PROS: So first and foremost the atmosphere definitely have a turn up vibe which I certainly appreciate. That's the only pro to this place CONS: EVERYTHING. The server isn't very attentive. The 1hr I was sitting in the restaurant I may have seen my server about 5 times. The food took about 20 mins to arrive even thou it wasn't even busy maybe about a handful of people. The guy who was delivering the food was very confused where the food goes and brought my food to a different table TWICE!! Eventually when I finally received my food which was supposed to be fried lobster and seafood rice. I got a plate that had a small piece of lobster and the rice was just dirty rice with ground meat. The server failed to inform me that there was no chicken, shrimp and crawfish for this Entree. With all of this occurring not once did the manager nor did the server say I apologize and didn't compliment the meal at all. With 2 entrees and 2 drinks I paid $80!!!!. Never again. Also I notice 2 groups leave without ordering. Don't waste your money here. read more

The food is okay, but more fit for club/lounge experience. My favorite was the Cajun beignets tho. I got an order of 2( not pictured). I also had the blackened fish and shrimp over dirty rice. It was a nice portion and it's served with sweet hush puppies and a piece of sweet jalapeño bread drizzled with honey butter. I'd rate it a solid 3.5./5. The music and vibe is cool if you just want to come chill and have drinks and appetizers. I can wouldn't say it's a place to have dinner, but they do offer plenty of food options. I'd definitely go back and try something different. I heard the pasta is good with shrimp added. The staff is really nice and attentive as well. Good place to get happy hour or brunch perhaps. read more

After certain timeframe there's a difference in the menu but the food is good $20 per person average

The pictures look promising but so disappointed. I ordered on Uber eats and paid for over $50 and none of it was worth it. The crab cake was something that could have come from the frozen food section. The diced potatoes with Cajun seasoning was pitiful, the jumbo wings had feathers still on it. The mac and cheese was missing the bacon i added. And I was missing the broccolini that I ordered. Food was lackluster and overpriced. read more

We were seated for 15min before anyone approached us and asked if we wanted something to drink. We ordered food immediately and stayed for over an hour waiting on our food before we decided to just leave. Didn't receive appetizers or entrees. Music was so loud that I was having to text to communicate with my girl. Service was terrible and seemed like the cook was more concerned with talking to people than making food. After reading other reviews, I won't even try to go back. read more

Their website is completely misleading and false. None of the items shown on their website are available with the new owner. No steak night, no crab as stated on their phone recording which will not let you speak to anyone. Switch and bait tricks to get you in the door. Owner refuses to update his website dishes, pictures, prices or on-premise menus. I felt bad for the staff. read more

Currently 8:24pm. I am waiting for an order I made at 6:39pm and being told its 6 orders ahead of mine!!

This place aint it. Our party arrived at 2pm on a Friday and the place was packed (which isnt saying much because the establishment is small). Food started arriving at 3:15pm, but only for half the table. A few of us were done eating before the remainder of the table received their food. I ordered boudin eggrolls, blackened chicken w/ dirty rice and collard greens. I never received the eggrolls or collard greens and asked them to remove the items for my ticket. My husbands crawfish mac and cheese never came out because per the server, the crawfish was not thawed. Then they brought out another plate without fries because they werent cooked yet. The food was good, but overpriced. The service was terrible. All the little things add up- tattered menus you can barely read, food being cooked to order at a slow speed, food not coming out at the same time (or not at all), server not coming back to check on us (couldn't ask for hot sauce), kitchen employees visibly arguing, employees walking in with bread from Krogers. read more

Let me start by saying we were seated at 12:00 but did not receive our food until 2:20. Well those of us who actually received our food (2 people never got their food by the time we left - 3:00). We never received the requested water refills. The food was tasty but it definitely wasn't worth the wait. read more

The service was great but the food was lack luster unfortunately. Appetizer came out cold and burger was significantly overcooked. The drink was good. I like the vibe and atmosphere. I will try it again because Zoe took great care of us!!! read more

Food was pretty good. I had the wings and truffle fries. The beignets were tasty the sauce taste almost like melted ice cream. The service was great for the circumstances. The host was polite and accommodating. I happen to come in on a Monday and that open mic night??? Brought me life. It felt like a family gathering, entertaining and fun. The only con is that the place is too small for the crowd it attracts. read more

Very cool vibe and really great music. The lamb chops were fantastic. I highly recommend stopping by. read more

When going here very much consider the ambiance, the wait time for your food and drinks is horrendous for mediocre food you can purchase at any other brunch spot. The servers are not friendly, and to be honest not worth a tip. The dj is good however the volume of the music is crazy, very much hard to order or get waitress attention because it's a club like ambiance. If you're looking to spend 2+ hours here because you're waiting on food go ahead. read more

The food isn't bad but the service is TERRIBLE! The servers stand up front smoking hookah instead of actually helping their tables... Not a place I'm interested in returning to. read more

I missed my reservations, host told me it would be an hour wait not the next available table. I sat and wait, a group of women walked in without a reservation and was told the same that it would be an hour wait. They were seated before me within 30 mins. I asked the host he said give him a min and walked away. I waited 20 more minutes and again he seated someone who came after me. I asked what was going on he then told me he was cleaning a table for me. Then I was told there was no one else being seated due to them having an event. This was the worst service I've ever experienced. Don't waste your time. read more

SERVICE 10/10 love this place food was hot. will def be back again. out server was really friendly and mad good recommendations

The only thing that I will say nice about this place is the fact that it has a great atmosphere. On the other hand, I firmly believe that you can get better and bigger portions from other places no less than 5 minutes from here. There is no reason why you guys should be charging the "Colossal Shrimp Platter" for around $28 dollars, to receive a spoonful of rice and six pieces of fried shrimp, with four pieces of hushpuppies (another $4 to add seafood rice which I didn't even get.. plus another $2 for the "Gotti" sauce. Get real please. If yall already charging that amount I'm expecting that to come with it.) When it finally came out, the only thing that was warm.. not even hot.. WARM.. was the shrimp. Cold rice. Cold hushpuppies. It's honestly sad. On top of that, it took about an hour and a half to cook this. Now I do not know what's going on behind the scenes but whenever there's barely anyone inside of the restaurant and it takes you that long to cook something like that, then charge a blasphemous price, that's completely insane to me. A big thank you to the worker to whomever asked me what I was having because after getting countless of "they're working on it" and it's "almost ready" after every 15 minutes, it finally came out whenever she took action. In summary, basically if you wanna starve while getting robbed at the same time, go ahead and eat here. You gonna be spending a whole lot for nothing. Trust me. There are way better places than this to dine at. For the love of God I hope y'all make changes soon. read more

We tried this place before the Astros game. We got the Get Me Right and Grotti's Punch to drink. They were VERY strong. The punch was very peachy which I don't personally like, but my boyfriend loved. The Get Me Right got me RIGHT Service was a little slow, but we had plenty of time so it wasn't a big deal. I ordered the Blackened Shrimp meal with dirty rice and HOLY SMOKES. It was delicious! Portion size was just right. My boyfriend got the crab cakes (which was just one cake) and the gumbo add shrimp. The price ($17.95) and wording on the menu made us believe he was getting more than one. It was good, but not enough for the price. The music was a little loud, but it is a fun and upbeat experience. read more

Food had great taste, but service was very very slow. Food was very over priced I mean very little about for about of food!

Came here 3 times prior food is always decent, service is slow. Took them about 7 mins to seat us. They charged us 2 gratuity!! Our total was only $90 they added an extra $55 and claimed we had to pay 2 gratuity this time. I've never paid this anywhere it was honestly disappointing. The drinks were nasty and $20 a martini. Don't recommend unless you want to over pay for food read more
