I am giving this place a bad review because the hours say they are open until 10. Which is what the website says. The website DOES NOT say that they close the kitchen at 8:30 making my arrival at 8:50 futile. Only the bar remains open until ten. By the way, except for one table the place was completely empty. Obviously, I don't have any comments on the food because I couldn't order any. read more

Don't waste your time. We arrived around 6 pm for dinner. In my opinion this is the prime time at a restaurant. We were the only table there! We decided to order fried pickles as an appetizer. They were out of pickles! How can this be? You're in the same parking lot as Winn-Dixie! Walk next door and buy a jar of pickles! My wife ordered a Roast Beef po-boy. She took one bite and almost threw up. The meat was tainted! I tried a bite and it was disgusting. I ordered fried catfish. The filets were 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. I've never seen such a huge filet! They were fried until dark, but otherwise weren't too bad. I was finished with my plate before the waitress ever came back to check on us. My wife had 2 bites out of her po-boy. They took her sandwich off the ticket (which we didn't request.) All in all it was a bad experience. Luckily we had purchased a Groupon to this place so we weren't out much money. We were there for about 45 minutes and only 1 other table came in. The waitress was friendly, but seemed to forget us a lot. I guess when you're never busy it's hard to remember when someone actually comes in. We won't be back. That's very unfortunate considering we live 2 miles away! read more

first visit we were the only table and the service was slow but friendly. the food was good. based on this i planned a business luncheon, 3 people. we ordered 3 gumbos 2 salads and a crabcakes. we were servered our drinks immediately. an hour and 15 minutes later and after 3 promises our order was almost ready we walked out, leaving payment for the tea. the staff did not inquire as to why we were leaving. apparently there is no management or ownership present during lunch. looks like it would be a good sports bar but not for fine dining of up-scale lunches. i may try again in a few weeks but i'm not in a hurry or very optimistic. the staff was friendly, scarce and very apologetic. i feel the problem is in the kitchen. read more

In an experience that mimics my previous review, but this time with the eye rolling Dymond S. who would not utter a word to me despite my attempt at pleasantries - yet she would stop the transaction to say hello and see how someone (who was obviously a friend) was doing whilst the friend was walking out the door. Then immediately back to ignoring me. She then proceeded to throw my Veuve Clicquot into the same bag as the Tiger Sauce - with nothing but a small paper bag to contain the shards should they have busted against one another. And then without a word or even eye contact, held my receipt out for me to take. What is wrong with this location that their cashiers can't just be decent human beings and employ basic kindness to customers? We're not asking for a parade or to be fawned over, a simple response to a kind hello would suffice. But you choose to be nasty, without provocation, and I just cannot understand why.

I recently started stopping by here often, once I found it! This is another one of the "hidden in a…read morestrip mall" businesses. Native North Shore folks might disagree on that point, I'm not sure. Being a native New Orleanian from Orleans parish & spending almost my entire life in New Orleans (Orleans parish proper) strip malls are a foreign concept.( At least the very large strip malls are. ) Metairie, jefferson, Kenner & the West Bank areas all have some larger strip malls. In uptown New Orleans the closest thing to a strip mall was Riverbend restaurant(1974-1987) (which became an Eckerd's then a Walgreens), Gennaro's Cleaners(before it became Gennaro Luke & Son) & Hibernia bank on Carrollton ave. In any case, I really do feel like driving into (hidden from view/ no signage on the street) strip malls is fun! You never know what little gem you might find. I discovered the North Shore Mandina's this way! What was I talking about? AAH yes, the whole reason I'm typing: Back to reviewing a liquor & smokes store: Town Crier on Hwy. 22 in the strip mall where Walgreen's & Rouse's are located. I like this place for the following reasons: - Ample parking in front - great if your in a hurry & just need a bottle of wine &/or alcohol - Competitive prices - Staff at all locations I've stopped in have been friendly ( hwy 59/ 190 by little Wal-Mart This is what it is.

DiMartino's takes on an enhanced elegant ambiance in the evening and the menu reflects this. Service was very good as always. My wife enjoyed her favorite lasagna, which was quite good as usual. I had the salmon with vinaigrette glaze and it was quite good as well. It's easy to get salmon too done, but no such problem here. Succulent and tasty, just as it should be, with the glaze adding just the right zesty edge. The house Pinot Grigio was excellent with the fish. I also had a very good Caesar salad that complimented the fish and the broccoli side. In this case, the broccoli was somewhat tough with a slightly overpowering parmesan covering.

Celiacs, rejoice! There's a spot in town for us…read more My husband is Jewish and has wanted to try Tavi for awhile. The problem is we live in Houston and only come to the area to see my parents twice every year. On our final night, he said he wanted to go to Tavi. Wish granted. We got a reservation on Open Table (highly recommend) and headed that way. Will was our server (and was also the bartender). He was incredible. He explained how the kitchen has a dedicated fryer for gluten-free items so celiacs and gluten intolerant folks won't react. Words cannot express how much that means to us. Additionally, they could do the fried chicken hummus and use rice flour to bread it instead of wheat. We ordered it. Upon arrival, it was so incredibly good. They brought fresh vegetables (crudite) to use instead of pita (it's $8, but they are homegrown and fresh). My husband, who can have all the gluten in the world, enjoyed his with pita. He put it on his plate. The pita also came with olive oil and is made in house. You can watch them bake it in the wood-fired oven. The pita is also the base for the flatbreads. When it came time to order our real food, I got the shrimp and subbed couscous for the rice. It was like a fried Israeli rice with pistachios. Lots of crunch and excellent. The shrimp came in a New Orleans style bbq sauce. I could have drank just the sauce (and taken some years off of my life cause it was butter). My husband had the lamb shawarma since they were half off on Saturday. His came with fries. He was so impressed. If you come and split an appetizer, you could easily split a shawarma. The portions are huge (not on the shrimp, though). You definitely need reservations if you have a larger party. It's not too loud inside, but there's ongoing chatter in the background. I'd also recommend planning on staying at least an hour. They won't rush around. Parking can be a pain, so allow extra time for that. We will definitely be back!!
