Food and service were excellent. Trey, our waiter, was superb and even needed his skills as a bouncer to remove some guy who came in off the street yelling at several patrons.

One of our favs now. All four of us really enjoyed. The lamb ragu is great. My wife loved the salmon. Our friends had the scallop special and the spicy rigatoni. My wife and I split a Caesar which is top notch

This is our second visit to Tallulah’s . Very nice location. Locale is on the smaller side and that is why noise can become a bit too much (tables very close to each other so you hear everything the other people say). How was the food? Burrata - too cold ( was not brought to room temp before service started)and as such not runny and creamy at all. Focaccia slice a bit too small for the size of burrata but avo spread was very tasty. Cesar salad - very good, and great presentation by leaving the romaine leaves whole! Salmon and chicken for mains. Now, those dishes were great! The spinach pesto is absolutely delicious. Again, the color of the salmon ( cooked to absolute perfection!!!!!) against the spinach pesto made for a very nice presentation. And now service: we were very well taken for, our server (Mike)was attentive, not overbearing at all but always there at the right time. We chose a wine that unfortunately was off once the bottle was opened. The sommelier ( Brandon) quickly came to the table and offered suggestions of what else we could enjoy with our meal. Second bottle we chose turned out to be a great choice. All in all, we had a pleasant dinner and wholeheartedly can encourage others to try it!
