"Amazing food and service"
Dave
July 2009 — "Amazing service and food. The Best Restaurant in Foothills by far. I love how the kitchen can been viewed and how spotless it is. Will be coming back over and over because you just don't get true service and passion in a restaurant like this anymore."

"WILL NOT GO BACK"
L
January 2009 — "The venue is terrific, great service, the appetizers were delicious but overpriced. As for the entrees, we had a large group and we all had a terrible meal. The jambalaya had a burnt flavour, the sea food linguine had watery sauce (No flavour). Way overpriced. Unfortunately no one in our party will return."

"Excellent food & Gracious Owner/Chef!"Chasey
November 2008 — "My husband and I took our two young children,(3yrs & 8yrs) with us for dinner.My husband ordered the "Catfish Etoufee" and I ordered the Pasta in a blush sauce (can't remember the name).BOTH of our entrees were AMAZING!Our two young children had chicken fingers,but are not "sauce" eaters.The owner/chef came to our table for a visit and asked our children if they would like to try his "special sauce" that he would like for them to try.So they did accept.THEY LOVED IT!(Tartar sauce).It certainly was delicious,as I had a small taste.I was quite amazed that they did like it,but it was so tasty.And we were quite impressed that the owner/chef came to our table to make conversation and in doing so,speak to our young children in such a friendly manner.They spoke about it for several months after and still bring it up from time to time!And of course,are continually asking when we are going to visit for dinner again! As we are a one income family,our dinner's out are a rare occasion,(it was our 11th anniversary the night we visited).We did find the prices rather high,but being that my husband's employer was buying our dinner,we were able to "splurge".(We were there exactly at 5pm on a Friday and did request to be seated at the very rear of the restaurant as we had two young children.The band was just setting up as we were leaving).We would most certainly attend this restaurant again!"

"Needs Improvment"Randa
November 2008 — "We found that the wine selection was poor and limited. There was a 3 piece jazz band that were excellent, but the music was too loud for the size of the room and you had to scream to carry on a conversation. Found that the Jambalaya had a burnt flavour, so most of it was left. Appetizer's were overpriced at $13.00 for a caesar salad. Good quality doesn't have to mean higher prices no matter where the restaurant.
The Mardi Gras salad, potatoe soup and scallops were all very good. The house was very nicely appointed.
We would wait for a return visit. "
