    We went to deSha's to celebrate the end of the school year for our daughter, and we couldn't have asked for a better family experience. The restaurant was fancy enough to make it a special occasion, but family-friendly enough for all of us to enjoy a fantastic meal. The food was delicious and the service was top-notch. Marin was our server, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable evening. If the rest of the staff is even half as wonderful as she was, then you are in for a fantastic meal.

    Service was fantastic and the food selections were terrific. Server was attentive without being interruptive and the recommendations were knowledgeable and helpful. Nice place to meet for lunch, but the noise level was a bit much; could have used a little less chatter in the background. Order an appetizer, meal, and then treat yourself to one of their many delicious desserts. We had shrimp for starters, then pasta with chicken, and topped it off with 2-die-4 bread pudding. A+ all the way around.

    Don't go there on Saturday evening. The live music was terrible and so loud we couldn't have a conversation. We ate quickly and left.

    The food was reasonably priced & tasted good. Our server was polite & prompted. I has a reservation & we were able to get seated half a hour before our reservation (which was great) I'll definitely return. I really loved the lake that was on the side of the restaurant.
    deSha's American TavernResponded on May 22, 2025
    Thank you for the commendation! Delighted to hear that both our food and service exceeded your expectations. The lake views are indeed special, and we’re glad they contributed to your positive experience. Looking forward to your return visit! -Sarah, deSha's Guest Relations
