    First time eating at the restaurant. My sister and I both harder Hot Browns, and they were very good. Our waiter was excellent. I will definitely be eating there again and again.

    Oysters were the only good item we had. Crab bisque was lacking. Etoufee was watery and had little seafood.

    It is wonderful to have agreat new restaurant in Middletown area. I had the Bourbob Street Glazed Salmon - fantastic taste and texture -served with grits and asparagus. Glaze was superb. Enjoyed a house salad and a Tomato and Spinach Lavash appetizer. Deanna was our very enthusiastic server - we never needed anything because she was always close and watching. Great diversified mneu that makes it unique enough to go back often.

    First time here. Not disappointed but not wowed either. Prices online don’t match prices on menu in house. Our waitress was very bubbly and personable but I suspect was responsible for too many tables, possibly from being understaffed. Food was very good. I’d definitely recommend anyone try this place. I will be back…..hopefully when our economy settles back into where it should be, the value aspect here will be more in line.

    Love the restaurant with the paintings & fabulous light fixtures.. so cozy. The food was top notch.. absolutely loved the bourbon street salmon and the hot brown. The she crab bisque was so smooth and creamy and loaded with crab. Service was wonderful. Brittany made several recommendations and checked on us regularly. Only disappointment was the chickory creme brulee... was not our taste, very strong flavor and not so creamy. No worries there are lots of other options to try next time!

    We ordered hummus appetizer and the hummus itself was very very dry. The pita bread with it was so hard it broke like a cracker when we ate it. I ordered soup and salad for my meal and my husband ordered chicken wings. After waiting 50 minutes, I tracked down our waiter and asked him to please see if our food was ready. He went back and to his surprise it was sitting there ready in the kitchen (for who knows how long). The crab soup but luke warm when I got it and had lots of tiny crab shells in it. On a positive note, my husband liked the flavor of his chicken wings. No one asked how we liked the food and we never once were offered a drink refill. For $50 for lunch, we will not be returning. Very disappointed

    3rd time having dinner with you! Food was excellent, service staff still not 100%. Feel certain it’s just a matter of time to work out all the details. Tried Tim Laird Middletown Martini, it was delicious!

    First time here. Our server, Casey, was friendly and helpful. She made some of her favorite suggestions for us. Our entrees and salads were all plentiful and delicious. We will return.

    Food was delicious and service was great. Drinks, apps and dinner were served in a reasonable time despite restaurant being very busy. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Somewhat noisy but not too bad and prices on the high side, but worth it as food was delicious and generous servings. Recommend the Bayou Dip!
