    Ja was our waiter and he was so kind and very attentive. It was Valentine’s Day and Char was busy, but we never felt neglected. The crab cakes were amazing as always… my steak entree was perfectly cooked. My husband’s duck was a little more rare than he wanted but we were pleased nonetheless. We will be back!

    I had a wonderful dining experience here on Valentines Day 2025. The parking is about 300 feet from the door but they offer a complementary shuttle service as well as valet for $20. Upon entry I was immediately greeted by the host and sat after my reservation was confirmed. Everything that was ordered came to the table within five minutes or less and it was not just our sever helping but a team effort. Amber was our sever and she was very attentive, I was surprised to find out she was GM just helping out for the day. From the perspective of the customer the restaurant was running efficiently and you could not tell they were short staffed. The food came out hot and fresh and was delicious. I was also surprised that cocktails were moderately priced and they were all under $12. We also had a table by the window with added to the abeyance. Great service, food, and experience on a busy day; I was pleasantly surprised and impressed:

    The blonde hostess immediately greeted us and was super friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was very attentive and not overbearing in constantly coming by the table which we like that. The Blue Window, Spicy Margarita, and Espresso martini drinks were the absolute best I have had. Always on point with the onion and pimento dip with pita bread. Caesar salads were fresh and not soggy bravo. We had the salmon, wild ride, and green beans and the cajun pasta both were 12 out of 10!!! The blueberry cobbler with ice cream was the a nice ending to a great early Valentine's dinner. This was probably the 6th time we have been to Itta Bena and we constantly brag on the service, drinks, and the food. A hidden gem with a nice quiet vibe. I look forward to the next visit.
