The food was amazing. I got the snapper Poboy, which was HUGE! And it only cost $20, such a great bargain. We also got the whole crab with Black and prawns but subbed out our garlic noodles for greens and yams. Delicious! We will be returning!

Had a group of 9. Affordably priced, excellent food and larger quantities of most items (except the $13 pizza meal wasn't big enough for an adult). Our service was outstanding (Jason). Love $5 for any pizookie on Tuesdays. Love that they have a separate gluten free menu and a gluten free pizookie.

Generally, the food was delicious and the service staff was attentive and welcoming. A lot of guests on a Wednesday! My husband and I tried different dishes and were especially impressed with the barbecue shrimp and the cornbread! Overall, a great experience!

I tried Restaurant Gish because it has >300 reviews and 5 stars, this is hard to achieve and after visiting there, I can definitely see they have a perfect rating! This course were inventive and delicious and came out perfectly timed. Everyone got enough to eat to feel satisfied. Rotating menu means that I get to try something new that I may have not picked! And I love how many different types of mushrooms they use, there were mushrooms in every single course and i loved it. We went to celebrate my husband's bday and I really liked how it felt fancy but not stuffy! Like i felt comfortable eating :) what an enjoyable experience

    The food was excellent! However, seating is very limited (outdoor only and not for more than 5-7 customers at a time). Parking can also be challenging. For this reason, I would recommend carry out.
