The moment I walked into Amanda's warm and inviting "watering hole," I was struck by the majestic…read morewood extending up from floor to ceiling behind the bar. Exterior looks were deceiving. I settled back with my usual corona, and they didn't hassle me for opening my own bag of chips -- a good sign. First test passed. I then ordered something off-menu... could they make me some "sweet potato fries." Not only did they say "heck yeah!" But asked me if I wanted some "brown sugar and butter" to dip them in. Wtf?? Okay! They then served me up a fantastic combo I had never tried before... Ok, so being new to teh Delta, and based on the other review mentioning "good ol' boys," I'm never sure if I'm going to walk into a place with a ... well... "caucasians-preferred" vibe. But no. Here black and white customers and staff intermingled with smiles on their faces, and I felt instantly at home. And the only "Good Ol' Boy" I met at the bar was a damned cool dude. Regarding the staff, Amanda has a big-but-warm, inviting up-front personality that makes patrons feel at ease... the cook and the other "bartendress" ("Felony Melanie") were also awesome. (A bit awestruck by Amanda's beauty, I snuck a peek at her ring finger, ... but sorry guys: this beautiful specimen appears taken. Awww, snap!) Amanda let me vape at the bar without hassle, and even handed me the TV remote so I could change the channel to my favorite Krav Maga show to watch live-action ultra-violence, always a good mix with alcohol, ya know! ;) How much would you pay for three Coronas with a generous side of limes, sweet potato fries, and hand-made-Carmel sauce? In my home town of San Diego, probably $24 to $27. Here: $13-something plus tax. Based on atmosphere, staff personalities, customer service, amazing value, and their off-the-menu treat, I'm gonna slide this one all the way to 5 stars. I know their awesomeness is gonna pay off ... and I wish they'd open a franchise in my new home town of Natchez so I could steer my hotel (StarlingsRest.com) guests there! Way to go, guys!

The meals ranged all over the menue to include (me) Philly cheese sandwich, (wife) two tacos, and the others had fried crayfish, cheeseburger (huge patty) catfish basket,(fried) chicken wings, and one other that I forget, but everyone enjoyed what they had. The service was pleasant and timely. We are lucky to have a nice place to get a decent meal so close.

Walking into this place, I was kind of amazed at how small it was, although I do think they have a…read moresecond room that they open on the weekends for bands or a DJ. However, I was here during the week, so I can't say for sure. The bar itself is very small, there's a couple high top tables, about 6 seats at the bar, and a couple pool tables. Upon walking in, we were greeted by a very friendly dog. I'm not sure who she belonged to, but she was precious. The bartender was pretty friendly and the music being played on the jukebox was great too, just what you'd expect for the area. Beers here were a little pricier than you'd expect from a hole in the wall, but everyone here is so friendly. It's not everyone's scene, but it seems like more locals than anything come here.

It has been a long time since I've felt so thoroughly satisfied with a dining experience here in Cleveland.

Chef Cole Ellis and all of his staff are to be congratulated on such a fine job!

I frequently travel around Mississippi and the South for work and found the Cotton House to be a…read morebeautiful hotel and overall great stay. When it came to service however, it was severely lacking. Slow, understaffed and rude. I like to look at how a restaurant or bar's higher staff treat their employees. Bar Fontaine's managing staff should be VERY ashamed. I heard management tell off a server and bartender for making a very basic mistake and when I asked them how they liked working there, they simply replied "if I could do it over I would." According to them, the management is super nice to the customers but not to the employees constantly starting drama and making it difficult for an employee to keep their job. The head chef is also apparently a real a-hole and says inappropriate suggestive comments to their female staff as well, the server was telling me. When I was walking out of the hotel on the last day of my stay I encountered one of the managers and talked to them to see how they would treat me. It was an older woman with glasses. She treated me like an old friend which normally I would have enjoyed but this time I was absolutely disgusted. Just from what I was told, I will not be giving service to them again and will not stay at the hotel.
