Russo's

Great little gem of a place very near the National Park. Had a fantastic anniversary meal. Joan was friendly, knowledgeable, fun, attentive not rushed. Menu is on par with many higher end establishments, and the quality of the food was excellent. The BBQ shrimp appetizer is unique and quite memorable. Garden salad was simple, but the house dressing really made it shine. Orange grouper was excellent. Bread pudding was warm and comforting (as it should be) and the GF chocolate torte was smooth and not too dense. All around great experience. Would return.

Excellent food, some of the best in the area. Sat at the bar on a recent Friday night and service was attentive and quick, and the food was fresh. A bit expensive for the overall value but still a great choice for your next restaurant outing. Would like to see some « healthier » options on the menu. Enjoyed the seafood creole but the fried green tomato appetizer and NOLA fried chicken were even better! Will return again.

We were with a group and had a number of appetizers. I had the grilled octopus. We all enjoyed our appetizers. For dinner, I had creole chicken, it was good, but very salty. My husband had the cavatelli. Most of the people at our table said their food was overly salty. Besides the salt, the food was pretty good. The food is a bit overpriced for what you get.

Probably the best restaurant we have tried since moving to the area. Everything had a cajun twist and was delicious. We will definitely be back! We recommend the raw oysters, shrimp appetizer, seafood fettuccine, chocolate torte and peanut butter chocolate pie.

Pastalaya and bread pudding were great. Gumbo was a little salty and service a little slow (they were busy), but overall was good.
