We ordered take out due to Covid restrictions. Food was great!
Basically, all day happy hour food and drinks. Waiter was extremely prompt.
We were seated promptly. Server was very good and checked on us quite often. Although my husband's dinner was very good, I was disappointed with my meal. I wish there was a comments box under quality of food to explain further.
Food was good and portions were just right. Didn't like paying $1 extra for a "side" with my burger but.... I will go again as it is a friendly sports bar with some outdoor seating. A nice evening out. Prices are reasonable.
Great food and very friendly and attentive service.
Our server was attentive and kept us updated on delivery of our selections.
We wished the appetizers included healthy items and not all just fried/bar fare.
The server was good, attentive - except hygiene was not as good as it could have been. If something (menu) is dropped on the floor you do not pick it up and hand it back after stepping on it. You get a new one. Overall experience was fine for the food quality and location. Food was well prepared and quickly served.
Kathy was very friendly and the food was excellent.
The staff was wonderful and very helpful! The environment was great (Caps playoffs). Go Caps!! Did not know this was a hockey lovers pad.
Needs a little bit more lighting at the tables. It is advertised as creole/Cajun menu but did not have many of those items on the menu. The Guatemalan Botanas dishes were delicious. We had the Original Iggy and the Veggie botanas. We went on a Friday night and they were having Trivia game night which was fun!
We went for lunch. There were very few customers but that was a plus as we didn't have to wait for a table and had good service. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive without being overly so.
Friendly staff, very accommodating and easy to approach.
Good foo, good prices"
Good food and service.
Botanists were excellent. Crab cakes were average.
Had the buffalo chicken salad and it was excellent!
Food is very delicious. Service is very good. Food was brought to us in less than 15 minutes.
Our waitress was fabulous! Really on top of things.
One meal was good; one meal was bad. The fish fry and French fries were soggy---like they were heated up in a microwave.
Ashley was great and the food excellent. Hiuse specialty and ribs with soft drinks.
Great food, very reasonably priced. Star (our server) was absolutely fabulous.
Both the service and food were great.
Seems like the food quality has gone down. I didn't see a Cisco truck but it should Did taste generic. Not what I have expected from them.
The food was great.
Excellent staff, quick service, great food. Just an overall wonderful experience.
food was good. iced tea was awful. sent it back. drank water.
Food was excellent and hung out in the bar listening to great tunes ; )
The wait staff was super nice. The resturant has changed some over the last year. Has more of a bar feel. This place used to have authentic Cajun food that was amazing but they have had a chef Change. With that being said the offering are all very good and well done.
The appearance of the restaurant was pleasant and the server was good, however, the food was overpriced for the portion and the taste was mediocre at best. The scallops were lukewarm and the garlic mashed potatoes were VERY dry. Couldnt finish them. Very disappointing meal
The mashed potatoes were cold and relatively tasteless, but everything else was wonderful! The blueberry sorbet was unbelievable. I've never tasted anything so good.
One of us tried the Jambalaya for the 1st time. It was so good and made a big impact on all of us tasting it. Service was stellar and friendly. Top marks all the way.
The atmosphere was pretty good but the ribeye wasn't all the not enough meat and to much fat on the meat.
The waitress was so friendly and helpful. Her recommendations were appreciated too.
The meals are well prepared, it is fast and efficient with great service.
Good food and Calvin was good
Great service, food, wine. Excellent cannoli!
Food very overprices small portions limited menu. This place is just isnt that good
Fantastic lobster ravioli! Dinner and service were great as always! Especially appreciate that they didn't have an inflated priced menu for Valentine's Day! Love them!
Menu had changed. Poor chose. Too little and quality for too much cost.
Very personable waitress Jess. We were able to sit and visit at the table for an extended period of time.
Excellent service
Happy hour until 8 PM, eat in bar area, got noisy after 6 pm, dining area was quieter, it did have special event in it, TVs in bar area, food was very good and price was reasonable.
Great mac n cheese. The crabcake sandwich (without the bread) was very good, but very small.
Julie seemed forgetful but Miles made our experience a great one.
The food was good, had smothered Catfish, it was good....
The quality and quantity of food were not up to par. It was definitely not worth the price. Would not eat there again.
Food quality was poor.
Our server was busy with a huge party but we never knew because they assigned someone to back her up.
Wonderful service, clean restaurant, great food.
Nice place, but I do miss the "old" Blue Iguana
food was good but on the salty side
Very good food excellent service friendly staff
Great food and fabulous service provided by Julia2 :-)
The combination of excellent service and the quality and quantity of food made this dining experience an enjoyable one.
One of the items came out incorrectly.
Food quality
We from New Orleans and loved there Cajun food.
Good recommendations from employees
We went for late meal .... Around 10 pm
Nawlins cooking at its best! Had the smothered catfish which had shrimp etouffee on top of the fish. Yum.
Although they were busy but the waitress kept on circling back to make sure that we were ok.
First off, I can't wait to go back! The atmosphere was cozy with candlelight and linens and nice music in the background. Our server was very helpful and very attentive. The food was excellent and HOT! It just makes the meal when your food comes to you hot. We all enjoyed our meals and had enough left over for two more meals!!! I will definitely go back and definitely recommend this restaurant!
