Great ambience

We had to work on Friday so we decided to engagement night out and go somewhere different. Instead of driving north, we decided to go south and try out Itta Bena in the Windcreek Casino in Montgomery, AL. I do suggest making reservations on Open Table because you will have to wait. The host greeted us on the first floor and directed us to the elevator to go to the restaurant. Once we got off the elevator, they were right there with big smiles and seated us promptly. Everyone was so friendly and our needs were met throughout the evening. Our server YaMese, was so friendly and helpful. She picked out our entire meal and she was on point! We started off with the fried calamari. It was seasoned and fried lightly. The remoulade sauce was just what was needed to take it over the top. Our entrees were the New York strip , lamb chops with sweet potato casserole, broccolini and the best risotto I've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection but the lamb chops were the star of the show. They were so tender and the balsamic glaze made me pick the bone up and eat like I was at home. We hade the red velvet cheesecake for dessert and that was the best one period. We really enjoyed the young lady singing. She was amazing. If I had one request, it would be putting her away from the bar area. With her talent, she needs to be in the middle of the room where everyone can see her and make it more entertaining. She would definitely get more tips in the middle versus on one side where people can avoid her instead of giving her a tip.

The atmosphere and live music are always nice. Our waitress for the night was in training but made phenomenal wine suggestions. We ordered the Bayou Crab Dip, and Braised Short Ribs with a side of Broccolini for dinner. Everything was cooked to perfection. For dessert we opted for the classic brownie with ice cream.

This was a special for the night. Handmade lobster ravioli. It was awesome.

This has been my secret Hideaway restaurant for a while now. I almost don't want to share, but it would be wrong for me not to. They recently got a new chef and he is the bomb.com. The food is amazing, one thing that has improved greatly is the sheet crab soup. It used to be hot milk now it is a reduced down creamy delectable soup. And it is always served piping hot. Pretzel bread with the soften flavored butter is also amazing. The salad is great. The specials are awesome. Chef Antwuan is doing a great job!

This place is amazing... this is quite an wonderful experience.. the music was soul searching, the ambience was so soothing.... Was invited a few years ago, but declined, so happy my daughter's boyfriend made this suggestion.. especially for Father's day.

Today, they gave me an impeccable experience. I discovered that they have brunch on Sundays in which both the manager and the chef were generous to accommodate me in which I really appreciate them. They exemplified immaculate customer service. The drink Bluebonnet was delicious if you enjoy sour drinks and the food was delicious. The ambiance was perfect from the lighting to the music. Thank you to the incredible staff at Itta Bena.

Another great restaurant in Montgomery! Atmosphere, ambiance, quaintness, food, desserts, vibe, service and live music always good! Did not give five stars only because of its location. Because I am not a gambler the only downside I have to the restaurant is it's inside the casino location. I have always felt that great, upscale restaurants like it is, should have an entrance for its guest, outside of the casino. I don't frequent it as much due to having to condition myself for the walk "all the way"through the casino scene to get to the elevator which takes you up to enter the restaurant.

This is a cobia fillet with potatoes and broccoli.

This is a cobia fillet with potatoes and broccoli. I gave it a 3 because the potatoes were cold, the sauce on the bottom of the plate was very oily, and honestly the portions are always rather small for $38. The fish was good, but the entire plate was lacking in seasoning. However, the plating was beautiful! The ambiance was very nice with live music, but most importantly it was a nice environment for a great night out with friends. Lastly, I can't leave out I love the touch of giving ladies a white rose after the meal.

Service on point! Food on point! Atmosphere was on point! One of the best experiences we've had in a long time. Would definitely recommend this place..a little confusing to get to if not a local, but staff was friendly and gave directions once inside the casino. Can't give enough stars for this place. Manager even came and sat at the table to make sure service was okay. We saw the bartender ask for clarification on a drink at one of the patrons table. Talk about customer service!!! When back in town, we will definitely be back! Thank you Tiffany and the other wonderful staff!

Water and a glass of moscato.

Got seated right away. Did take a little bit for our server to come and take our order. The food…read moredid take longer to come out. But overall everything was delicious. I did get the banana bread pudding to go and I would say that it wasn't the best in taste (tasted artificial and sorta flowery and plasticly and the cream or whatever that was supposed to come with it tasted rubbery and thick). So I wouldn't recommend the banana bread pudding. But like I said everything else was good. They had seating inside and an outside veranda.

This BB King's is situated inside of the WindCreek Casino in Montgomery and is their "house"…read morerestaurant. While staying at the casino we visited BB King's on a few occasions from lunch to drinks. Each visit we bellied up to or swung by the bar. For lunch we sat at the inside bar and grabbed a few plates to share along with cocktails. I went with the BBQ chicken nachos, which looked like a good portion size and were coated well with sauce, however they were extra stingy with the chicken. It must have been two tenders worth of chicken. The drinks were light pours, but decent for a casino drink...definitely better than what you got from the casino floor. Prices are as expected, nothing wild, but higher than your average spot given its location. Service was hit and miss with each visit. Sometimes they were on point, other times they were not. Overall, given your minimal options when at the casino, this place serves its purpose. I wouldn't come off the streets or out of my way to come here, but for what it is and where it is, it works.
