The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Everything was so good but you have to try the spectacular cornbread and gumbo! Great birthday celebration topped off with bread pudding. We will be back!

Wow - how have I missed this place? First visit was great from the moment we pulled up to the valet station. Great service and fabulous food. Enjoyed the outdoor dining area but indoors was also very pretty. Standout items for us were the Cajun Duck Poppers and Blue Crab Florentine (biscuit-based Benedict), but everything we ordered was delicious. Only negative was the 3% uplift for paying with a credit card. Weird.

The covered patio offers a comfortable, quiet restaurant experience. We enjoyed our first visit with smaller, shareable dishes and cocktails. We look forward to visiting again.

I work in the building so I’ve dined at Eunice many times. Although always a bit overpriced in my opinion, we generally have good food and service and you can’t beat the convenience. However, on this most recent visit, that was not the case. First and foremost, the server was completely unattentive and uninterested in providing customer service. We had to flag her down several times during our meal or get other servers to help us out - like when one person in our party didn’t get their food and out waitress was MIA so we had to get another server to find the missing meal. We definitely seemed like an inconvenience to our server. The food itself was good, but the cornbread was overcooked and almost burnt (second time this has happened recently) which was disappointing and frankly, I thought the gumbo needed more seasoning. However, the pork schnitzel was very good and it would’ve been really nice to get the leftovers that I had (as did several other people at the table), but alas, our plates disappeared and we never received our leftovers. Service was so slow that we eventually just got up and left without pushing it. The restaurant was pretty busy and the noise level was moderate so maybe the server was just having a bad day, but this isn’t exactly an inexpensive meal and I expect better service than what we received today.
