Excellent food and wine selection. The table was small and spaced very close together. It was a bit hard to hear our server due to noise level. They had a wonderful selection of specials to chose from, and the Italian lemon cake was phenomenal! Will definitely go back.

A very mixed experience at Tallulah. Service always good - efficient & friendly. Nice ambience but food was an issue. Apps were fine but my lamb chops requested medium rare arrived well done. They were replaced but most unfortunately the replacement chops were also well done. At a place of this caliber that should never happen. I ate them because my dinner partners were already pretty much done with their main dishes and I didn’t want to wait any longer. Of course they were removed from the bill but that’s not the point. Also, I’m really getting fed up with the same menu for so long - it NEVER changes. What’s on there is good but if you dine there regularly it becomes gradually boring and predicable. I think I’ll give this place a rest for a while…

Everything was fantastic, but I made the reservation for a 27th Wedding Anniversary. During the reservation process, your system asked if there were any special requests? Therefore, I forwarded the information regarding the anniversary and requested a table near the window. I was hoping to surprise my Wife. But there was no mention of the Anniversary and we sat at one of the smallest tables adjacent to the bar (nowhere near the window)... All of that is fine, if the system never inquired or you notified that you were unable accommodate the request. It was disappointing/a letdown.... that is all. The food was remarkable and service was outstanding. Last night, I had a higher expectation for something special/personal.

Need some lites over the booths-had to use cellphone to read menu. Didn't like the top 40 music in the overhead. Jazz or international music would be classier. Lamb ragu was a little too sweet but the pappardelle was heavenly.

Amazing dining experience! Our server was knowledgeable and friendly, and the food was amazing. We are already planning our next date night there. It was very noisy on the bar side of the restaurant and we were placed right next to the door which was heavily trafficked. I will request a table farther from the door next time. Wonderful place!
