Wonderful Louisiana style food. DH & I went to the Green Door on Broad in Brooksville, FL on a late…read moreSaturday afternoon for lunch. The place is adorable. For an appetizer we ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes. They were prepared just right keeping the tomatoes crisp and juicy. I would have preferred more Feta Cheese & Balsamic. DH said they were awesome. For my meal I had the bowl of Crawfish Etouffee. I'm not one for spice but I was able to enjoy this as the rice helped cut the spice. There was a plentiful amount of pieces of crawfish within the soup. I truly loved the mix of flavors & would get it again. The 2 pieces of bread were nothing special. DH ordered the Muffuletta. He was impressed with the amount of meat in the sandwich and said the flavors were good. He got it with a side of fries. The fries were cooked the way he likes with crispiness. We finished with the White Chocolate Bread Pudding. Fantastic & a must if you dine here. The bread had a candied edge and the flavors sent it over the top. Shout out to our server Jessica K. She was terrific. Always checking on us, refilling our waters, friendly & cheerful.

The decor is elegant, historic southern, yet has a modern touch, too- love the deep blue with the gold motif with just perfectly added pieces to make it feel like a southern home or an inn! The restaurant serves beer and wine, although no cocktails, but they do have a few sangria options- I had the white sangria. The service was excellent- our server was sweet as pie and everything was prompt and the courses were well timed by the kitchen. Everything was joyful to eat and cooked to perfection! We tried the shrimp appetizer (get it!!!) and we each picked something and shared amongst the table- each dish was too good not to share! Like I said- I can't wait to go back with even more friends and my family!

Updated Review I've waited years to finally try Baylor Inn…read more I'm only in town occasionally, and between hurricane damage and timing, I could never get in. This trip, I brought a friend and we finally made it. The food was a mix of excellent and not‑so‑great. The peel‑and‑eat shrimp were absolutely delicious, the mussels were great, and the fish sides were wonderful. Chicken strips were solid. The mushrooms, however, were not enjoyable at all in my opinion. The building has a lot of old Florida charm, but it's definitely due for a thorough update. One thing that concerned me was the warm ketchup sitting on the table -- sauces that can spoil should really be brought out fresh with the meal. The staff I interacted with were fantastic -- very kind, well‑mannered, and quick with service. I've read some concerning things about how the manager treats people, so I'm grateful I didn't have any encounter with him during my visit. The band outside was extremely loud, so we chose to sit indoors, but at least there are options. Watching the alligators in the swamp below was definitely entertaining. The place is huge, but the entrance is confusing, and I had to ask where to go. Overall, I can see where improvements are needed, but I can also appreciate the charm and history of the place.

The food here is consistently really good -- I've enjoyed many meals over the years and haven't had a bad one yet. Everything always comes out fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you expect. Their entertainment is genuinely fun and adds to the whole experience without feeling over the top. It's one of those places where you can relax, enjoy your meal, and feel like you're getting a little extra with the live music and atmosphere. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe is easygoing in the best way. It's the kind of place you can bring friends to and know they'll have a good time. I always look forward to coming back.

When we entered, we were greeted by beautiful clothing, jewelry, knickknacks, and very friendly people. The gift shop was to our left, and where we were seated was to the right, they had beautiful China decorations. They had a wide variety of things to select from and daily specials, along with a kids menu. I was very pleased with my meal and the Swiss and potato soup was out of this world. A couple of ladies coming out recommended it they said they had it and it was excellent and we wouldn't be sorry if we ordered it. And we both ordered it and we were definitely extremely happy with it. Everything is homemade, made from scratch. Whoever the cook is crafted beautiful food presentation. The café is spotless even all the China and beautiful glassware didn't have an ounce of dust anywhere so they take very good care of their product and their restaurant. After lunch, we had dessert and then we went into the gift shop area. The gift shop seemed to go on forever! They had children's clothes, children's books, stuffed animals, gorgeous shoes for adults, dresses, shirts, outfits, jewelry, flowers, fresh cut flowers, cakes and so much more! Plenty of free parking for cafe patrons. Handicap parking, easy access and the bathroom was clean. Our lunch was very reasonable. But the gift shop items were very expensive. $31.00 for a coffee mug?! Baby outfits for $40.00? I admit, the clothes were very beautiful, made from better quality materials. Maybe that's why they were expensive. The gorgeous shoes were very reasonable. The cashier suggested we come back around Christmas time because it's always phenomenal. Will we go back? YES! Mallies is definitely a hip place women enjoy going to. If you'd haven't been to Mallies yet, I would definitely put it on your, "must try" list.

Nouvelle is packaged butter and store bought bread. We had the cheese platter priced at $40 very overpriced. Salad at nouvelle was iceberg lettuce, with a potion of tomato, cucumber, white onion and maybe a Caesar dressing probably bottled. Prime 88 has an option of a Caesar salad dressing with romaine lettuce. We had the châteaubriand which was excellent but was market price and seemed very high compared to Prime 88. Beef at Prime.88 is dry aged. Prime 88 also comes to your table and slices it for you. We had the dessert which was the lava cake. Excellent. Prime 88 has a very nice wine cellar. Nouvelle had a few wines - more option on beers. Very expensive glass option on both. Service was good. Ambiance was overcrowded. I will stick with Prime 88.

Some people did not enjoy it, but its a classic fish dip and I thought it was fresh. I had the chicken BLT and I loved it. Gourmet sandwhich. I tasted the parmesano shrimp and the fish. Holy Moly it was delicious, flakey and buttery. We definitely would recommend this. Its not a fancy place, its easy and casual but so delicious. Next time hopefully we can enjoy sitting out back.
