    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.

    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

    We had never dined there and just wanted a different experience. Entrees were ok. I ordered blackened shrimp creole but the shrimp were not blackened. Dish itself was average. Didn’t complain because all other entrees were served. My wife’s crab cake was burned on the bottom. Cocktails there are cheap pours at an expensive price. Not worth the money. $13 for a martini that is half a small martini glass. Would not recommend this place. Sax player was good.
