   Our server Jonathan was amazing ! My fiancé and I visited because we were looking for a great place to host our wedding reception dinner. He took very good care of us and the food was absolutely delicious . We will definitely be back and look forward to enjoying the space with our families in the near future. ❤️

   We had a great time celebrating our anniversary! The food was sooo delicious, some of the best. I was a little disappointed we didn’t get anything for our occasion, because the tables around us got champagne toasts and birthday desserts, etc. My boyfriend and I both work in the industry so we know how it goes. A candle would have been awesome :( Nevertheless, the ambiance was great with live music and we had a good time together.

   Was surprised the entrance was unmarked in the back of a building up a set of stairs to the second story, but ultimately added to its charm. All the food was delicious, but everyone should try the Abita beer bread that came with our Abita BBQ Shrimp appetizer - it's truly something special. We could also recommend the Lamb Chops and Cajun pasta - both the best we've had.

   Music was loud, could barely hear server tell us specials. Seated right next to very chatty couple with nothing but a thin open wooden lattice between us. The food was delicious and the server was friendly, helpful and professional.

   The “she crab” soups should not be advertised as such. “She crab” implies that there would be crab roe present…. It wasn’t, not even close. The soup was essentially warm milk with a hint of crab flavor and a few pieces of crab meat, that’s it. So disappointing. Fortunately, the kind waiter removed the charge from the check. However, the lamb was delicious. The MOST enjoyable part of the meal was the musical presentation by the female singer and piano player the evening of Wednesday Jan 18th. She was delightful and soft vocals provided a nice ambience. Well done.

    Service was spectacular, loved the music. It really added to the ambiance. The red snapper was the biggest fish I’ve ever seen, however the food was some of the best food I’ve ever had. The saxophone player sounded amazing, he really made the experience unforgettable.

    The food was superb but what was stellar was our server,Jessica. She made our dinner experience so memorable. I wanted her to pull up a chair and eat with us. She deserves a lot of praise snd a big fat raise! We will definitely come back but only if we can sit in Jessica’s section.

    We sat at the bar and Cameron took care of us. He was the best bartender ever! He fixed me a special drink after I told him what I liked. It was the best drink ever!! I told him I was going to contact the management and tell them they needed to add “The Cameron” drink to the official menu. Love Itta Bena! Great place to get away from everything!

    lovely space, perfect for conversation during dinner, great live entertainment with soft piano music and singer. did not give a 5 star due to two of our entrees. I like spicy food. Shrimp/grits were an unbearable level of spice. Server was gracious to offer an option. We were remiss to follow recommendation. Just a heads up to the kitchen for future reference. Pork chop was outstanding. So was the red snapper. it's a place to repeat

    If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! Between my husband and I, we had the she-crab soup, field green salad, filet mignon, shrimp and grits, and the bread pudding, and absolutely everything was excellent! I’m a tough critic when it comes to food, and I was beyond impressed! One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to!

    We went for dinner with the intention to leave and wander Beale Street. Our experience started with Johnathan. He was an exceptional waiter. Made excellent recommendations. We loved the crab cakes, our salads were fresh and homemade dressings, and our main entrees were amazing - the tomahawk pork chop with Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes- wow! Susan Marshall at the piano drew us to sit at the bar and enjoy the music longer. The bartender, Paul, took care of us and made THE BEST CHOCOLATE MARTINI! I was so impressed with everything....the service, the food, the ambience, and the overall vibe. I highly recommend this place!!! Thanks to the team at Itta Bena for the wonderful evening. We will be back!
