The carrots are amazing, shaved Brussels delicious, and the poblano sauce is yummy! The natural wine selection is great and the help provided in selecting wines even better- I recently found a new favorite red here! Tonight I got the grab n go green Chile sour cream turkey enchiladas from the freezer. They were delicious and my whole family loved it! I will now be stopping in frequently on my way home from work for dinner. Love Esther's!

However I must give props to this establishment because it made a positive dent in my feelings. Rivertown Coffee felt like I had been going there all my life. The young lady at the counter was super nice, friendly and demonstrated outstanding customer service skills. I ordered a Bagel with Cream Cheese and a small black coffee for under $6.00 (including tip). AMAZING! Some places gouge you that much for just a cup of coffee. The physical characteristic of the establishment where warm and inviting providing for a perfect venue to sit and chat, read email, etc... Thanks for the excellent service and products. I look forward to my next visit.

Particularly whenever the service is slow. But that is the only complaint. Otherwise, this is a great spot! Service is always friendly and helpful. Food is outstanding. We love their appetizers like the firecracker shrimp. It's a small amount but very good. We also love many of the main dishes, particularly the three flavors catfish! The sauce that comes on this dish is crazy good. Their sushi is also top notch. We enjoyed the salmon crave and New Orleans rolls last night. Very fresh and both unique. They offer different specials and fun cocktails. The Bird's Eye View is our favorite drink. It is light and balanced with a very subtle heat component. Highly recommend this place!

But, the place is amazing on the inside, super clean and inviting. The server was great, super knowledgeable and stayed on top of everything. The food was outstanding! The Kamakazie roll was one of the best rolls I have eaten, anywhere, including Japan. The chicken noodle bowl was good, but it needed a little bit more flavor. The basil stir fry was very good. Overall, great experience. We will just have to come less often due to the prices, but we will return!

Just had a couple breakfasts here, but looks like a really pleasant place for drinks and dinner…read more There was always live music wafting through the hotel lobby from Swampers each evening. Service efficient and really pleasant and helpful. Buffet scrambled eggs were the low point - clearly Industrial powdered eggs - but they'll happily make you fresh eggs or a great omelet. So long as you get good eggs, the bacon, sausage, gravy biscuits, etc from the buffet are breakfast worthy. Else order off the menu, it'll be a good plate of food as well. Probably the tastiest thing about any breakfast in Alabama will be the Conecuh sausage - If you're not already a fan, do give it a try (just order sausage in Alabama, it'll be Conecuh!). Wherever you travel, those local specialties are worthy of your attention.

There wasn't any sauce just ground meat which was too seasoned & very salty. Their prices online need to be updated to their in restaurant menu prices. Two lasagna entrees & 2 side dishes (salad, not worth eating & garlic mashed potatoes) brought this awful dinner to $60. In my opinion, if you want good Italian food find another restaurant and don't eat at Ricatoni's, definitely not worth any amount of money. The food is that awful.
