    The only observation I would like to make, is for the restaurant to identify its gluten free options. Otherwise, the entire experience was enjoyable. Our waiter was top notch. I could tell he enjoyed the food he was selling at the restaurant. The food portions were absolutely worth the money. I had a great experience overall.

    If you are looking for some great southern comfort food, this is the place. We have the Pot Roast and Catfish Bites - plenty for 2 people to share. There was a live band that night which is the reason for the "mid level" noise rating. What I loved about it was the music was not too loud - conversations could still happen without yelling at each other.

    We ate at Livingston prior to a show at the Fox. Our reservation was at 5:00 which is their opening time. We were seated promptly, ordered and received our food in record time. The staff is prepared to handle patrons moving on to a show.
