The Wash House is very cozy. The service was very good. My husband had the shrimp and grits and loved it. Especially the fried pickled okra. I had the filet and garlic potatoes with asparagus. It was delicious along with a blue cheese wedge salad. We were very pleased with the food. I do wish the tables were a little bigger due to all the food and drinks. We will definitely be back!

For the price the beef filet and medallions were very good. The scallops was a very small portion with very little sides included and fair taste. The Red Snapper special didnt have much flavor but vegetable side was delicious. We also shared the crab cake appetizer which was very good but only golf ball size. So overall meals were good but a little over priced for the portion sizes

My daughter and I had a very nice dinner in the bar area this past weekend. Anja (I hope I spelled that right) was our server and bartender and was outstanding. Becca did a great job as manager that evening as well! The food was great too, you will not be disappointed! Great service!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our fabulous dinner at the Wash House. We had the crab cakes for starters...very tasty. He ordered Chateaubriand, and I ordered the fresh catch...Red Snapper. Both were so delicious! Loved our experience there.

The two of us had the gumbo, fillet and catch of the day and they were all perfect. The gumbo was savory and went well with the French bread. The fillet was pure meat butter and could be cut with your fork and the mashed potatoes were phenomenal. The snapper was cooked perfectly and it came with a nice side of orzo and green beans. For dessert, we split the crème brûlée and a cafe agave. Both were perfect. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Great Sunday evening experience here! I sat at the bar and the service by Becca was impeccable. Good drinks, wine selection, and the food was really good. The whole team including Wyatt, Jessie, Maddie, Jade and the two lovely hostesses at the door are really welcoming and made me feel right at home. You'll love this place!

Don’t let the exterior diminish your expectations. Inside is really nice, cozy, and quaint. We picked this restaurant in a whim for our anniversary dinner. The food was nothing short of amazing. The bread and sweet butter was great. We shared the shrimp stack as an appetizer. The tomato cream sauce with the fried green tomatoes was perfect. The shrimp was cooked to perfection. The wedge salad with the green goddess dress was really unique and flavorful. I had the seafood special, it was a flaky white fish called Golden Tile with saffron rice, zucchini and squash. It was truly delicious. The other entree was the Seafood Pirogue, the sauce was great on the eggplant. For desert we had the key lime bread pudding. The key lime flavor was perfect and the dish wasn’t too sweet. Service was impeccable.

Requested quiet table when making reservation since we were celebrating our 33rd anniversary. We were sat at a 4 top table in middle of restaurant next to large parties that were very noisy. We could hardly hear our own conversation due to noise level. Food was good, especially the filet. Service was good, but our server acted a little annoyed when we asked her to light the candle on our table. All of the other tables had lit candles. She never offered to bring another cocktail. Overall experience was not what we expected compared to our experience when we visited many years ago. Not sure if we would return for a special occasion.
