   Love the restaurant and the atmosphere. The service was marginal. I had the crab stuffed salmon. The salmon was dry and I think overcooked. The crab stuffing was burnt on the top and the potatoes and asparagus were barely warm. The lobster bisque was good, but again only slightly warm. I have been there many times, but this was the worst of all my visits.

   Everything was OK except the wine and one of our main dishes. And the cocktail we shared. The glass of merlot was barely drinkable, and it was from their top tier section. The adventurous flight of reds was horrible; couldn't finish it. Every restaurant should have a genuine top-tier wine available by the glass. Let’s face it - the bar here is mediocre at best. The cocktail was unbalanced, unenjoyable, and I sent it back. This is not a place for people who appreciate good wine. I generally purchase a bottle, but wanted to experiment with different wines, instead of sticking to just one bottle the whole evening. Big mistake. The restaurant doesn't even have a sommelier. It shows. It doesn't even publish its wine list. My wife's main course was very good. Mine was ridiculously poor. The shrimp was fried to oblivion. It was hard and barely edible. I ate it because I was hungry. I should have sent it back. The dessert was good, a chocolate lava cake made in-house. It isn't the best in town, but respectable. Overall the wine fiascos made the meal really unenjoyable. This is not a place for fine wine.

   Birthday dinner. Our daughter bought us a gift certificate for Christmas, but we're Landry members, so it's always a special occasion place. It was great. Food great! Ask for Raymond. He'll treat you like you're royalty! Plan to go back soon!

   The atmosphere was so relaxing. The server took great care of us. The food was great. This was a really enjoyable family dinner out with the teenager and everyone had a nice time.

   House specialty braised short rib was selected last minute on waiter recommendation. Disappointed with the amount of adipose tissue content. I’ll keep to the fresh catch category in the future. (The sea bass entree ordered by my daughter was excellent)

   Well prepared dishes (oysters, salmon and scallops). Service was excellent. Wish there was a dairy free chocolate dessert.

   Great food and nice waitstaff, but the time to get our food was VERY long. The restaurant didn't seem very full, but the food took about an hour. It was SLOW. Our waiter was amazing tho!

    Everything was outstanding. Very easy to make reservations and timing was perfect. The ambience was top notch. It had been a few years since we were there and it was every bit as good as I remember. We had a very pleasant experience and will definitely not wait as long to return.
