text: My husband and I had dinner here last Friday night Overall food I would give service atmosphere nnIt was just SO LOUD the entire time This place is more bar than restaurant I have never been to a nice restaurant where it is appropriate to YELL to your friends It would be one thing if the bar and restaurant were separate but they are not Also the lighting was constantly changing on a loop Bar area fine but right at our table The whole table glowed red orange yellow green blue red orange yellow the ENTIRE time It got annoying after a little whilennWhen we first arrived we had to wait which was not a huge problem It would have been less of a problem if I was not months pregnant and forced to stand in the doorway while the party crowd spread out in the lounge and bar area I do not really expect people to move for me just because I am pregnant but in this case there was plenty of room your purse does not need its own seat I do not blame the restaurant for that though it would have really been nice if one of the hostesses or bartenders could have offered up one of the empty seats Though to be honest I did not really want to jump in the middle of all the yellingnnOnce we were seated the experience was better The food was fairly good We ordered the cheese plate for an appetizer which was OK I would recommend some nuts and maybe some pears or other less sweet fruits that would complement the cheeses instead of the blueberries and strawberries which did not go with the plate I ordered the Spring Salad which was excellent My husband got the gumbo which he really enjoyed He ordered the dinner special which was a filet and lobster tail He said the filet was a little overdone the lobster was OK nothing special I ordered the chocolate raviolis which were good They were covered in a thick rich cream sauce Tasted very good though there was nothing healthy about it For dessert we split the banana cream pie sundae which was by far the best part of the meal SO GOOD nnOur server was very attentive constantly filling our water and asking if we needed anything He did not seem to be fully knowledgeable about the menu had to ask about the cheese plate and did not know how big the filet was but his service and attentiveness was excellent He did a good jobnnWhen I made the reservation they asked if we were celebrating anything and I told them that it was our anniversary They did not acknowledge that which was fine but why asknnI would rate this place higher if they would ditch the looping neon lights and make the dining area quieter so you do not have to yell at the person next to you just to have a conversation It is definitely not a good place for a romantic date Maybe I should give this place another shot when I can drink again
