Food was decent. Read someone's review about chowder being watery. They either fixed it or had a bad batch. It was good and thick. The crab bisque was no good. Just weird tasting and can't explain how. Had trigger fish which got charged for dinner when we were at lunch and didn't know. It was good the lemon jerk was a nice flavor. The butter potatoes enjoyed and is swimming in it but liked it. The mango cole slaw was just ok. Wouldn't do it again. The crab was crab, not bad. Still was expecting it to be worse as seems like a tourist spot. But not bad. The chocolate mousse thing was great and not too rich as finished the whole thing :)

This is the place to go for the view. It's on the lake and beautiful. The staff were friendly, but…read morethe food was okay. If I went again I would stay away from the crab stuffed shrimp (bland and tasted like they might have been made a day ahead) and get the fried fish or shrimp. The salad was good too. My husband liked the grilled chicken. If you're a fan of old fashioneds, I would try another cocktail. Again, just okay. Go for the beautiful view! So pretty!

Veg sides). The food is so fresh and flavorful. Service was exceptional - quick, detailed, generous. I tipped 35% it was so good. Ambiance is mixed--kind of cavernous in one room; plastic tablecloths and photographs stapled to the wall are incongruous with the price point of the food but I don't personally care. I was comfortable there. They have an adults only dining area which seems neat; and string lights

Then after about 60 minutes the food came out. I ordered the shrimp and grits. The shrimp were undercooked. The grits were cold. My brother in laws prime rib came out at least 10 minutes after everyone else was given their food. I would have sent my food back as would have my mother in law. But we didn't see our server. When he did come back he said he would be back with pictures of tea. Never saw him again. We just handed him the credit card card so we could get going I appreciate that you felt that you help serve our table other than ring out 3 out of 8 entrees about an hour after the orders were placed. We did not see you review the time stamps Yes your poor server did the best he could. You did not address the cold food raw shrimp and the 10 minutes of waiting for the last entree to arrive. The table next to us yes you came and brought water, tea other drinks Not our table. oh and the table that was seated about an hour after we arrived a group of six was served dinners timely.

My wife and I have been to Mike's Place many times for many different occasions over the years…read more It's our go-to restaurant when we want delicious food and dependable service. The restaurant is decorated tastefully in a quaint New Orleans style, and the atmosphere is dress casual and calm, perfect for nice, quiet get together. The restaurant is not designed for a high volume of people, so reservations are best because they stay busy. As I mentioned, Mike's Place is New Orleans themed, and the menu reflects this style, but there are many delicious options. My wife and I made 6:00 pm reservations for our 41st wedding anniversary. We arrived around 5:45 pm but we were seated before 6:00. Our server, Dallas, was very friendly and attentive and took care of all our dining needs. We first ordered the Coconut Shrimp appetizer. This arrived quickly and was hot and well prepared. The Coconut Shrimp comes with a delicious dipping sauce. For our entrees, my wife ordered the Atlantic Salmon with fried okra and baked potato, all of which was served hot and well prepared. My wife has dairy allergies and she requested a butter substitute for the baked potato, and Dallas was able to provide margarine instead of butter. I ordered the Commodore's Platter, which comes with Lobster Tail, Dungeness Crab Claws, White Fish and Shrimp with salad and one side. You can get the seafood prepared grilled, blackened or fried. Even though a "platter" sounds like a lot of food, it was filling but not too much. This was another excellent experience at Mike's Place, and we'll definitely be back!

Besides the reviews here I had heard from a few locals that this place was a good place for dinner and nobody has anything bad to say about it. I'm happy to confirm that was the same result for us. We were seated quickly even without a reservation around 5:30 this evening. We ordered the bang bang shrimp for an appetizer and a round of cocktails. They were served fairly quickly considering how busy they were at the time. For dinner I got the pecan crusted white fish and my friend got the blackened white fish. Both tasted delicious which was great. My wife got a Cesar salad and a loaded bake potato and it was also good. The service was great as well. The waiter and other staff were very attentive and checked on us regularly. The overall feel of the place is casual upscale. It's nice without being fancy. It has kind of a rustic vibe to it that is nice to look at. We enjoyed our experience here and would come back again when we're in town.

Ended up ordering the fish and shrimp combo with fried okra. The catfish was delicious. Good cornmeal light breading with fresh catfish that didn't have any fishiness to it. The shrimp was fried well as well and fresh tasting as well (great amount of breading). Both also weren't oily at all which told us the oil wasn't old. The hush puppies were good as well (also fried well). The side of fried okra was really good in my opinion, none of the sliminess that sometimes comes from okra that isn't cooked well. All in all I would totally recommend this place in the area if you're wanting to try some southern food.

We get seated and order drinks, which were the best part of this experience, but also when we got the first of a pattern of bad news. They were out of the blackberries in one of their signature cocktails. We subbed in blueberry and went to order mains. They were out of the duck beast, so I went with the lobster Mac and cheese. The princess ordered salmon and whipped potatoes. You may notice that her plate didn't have potatoes. That's because they ran out of those too, on a very slow Friday night. It took about 45 mins to get our food and in that time our waitress never topped up our water or asked if we wanted another cocktail, which we would have gotten if she did. The food came out and I realized why it took so long. The lobster was broiled so hard it was stringy and dry It was almost impossible to get out of the shell. After about half of a half of tail I decided it wasn't worth it and waited until I got home where I could do it in a more uncivilized manor. The sauce was fantastic, although the pasta was cooked until it was mush sadly. The salmon was dramatically over cooked as well. It was greatly past well done in order to get the crust on both sides of the fish, instead of just the presentation side. There is a reason culinary school teaches it that way... It was too dry for her to eat more than half, even with the sauce. The whole meal was a disappointment. We heard another couple order dessert, and guess what? They were out of cheesecake too. This place won't be open much longer and I see now why it was empty during a prime dining time.

Okay, so I'm back in LR giving this spot another try, and DAMN I'm happy I did. I clearly just…read moreordered the wrong thing, because this time around they knocked it out of the park! This time around I asked the girl at the counter what her favorite dish was and she said, "shrimp kabobs." I was sold. SO GLAD I LISTENED!!!! These are THE most flavorful kabobs I've ever had, and they are accompanied by some of the best rice and beans I've ever had. I was fully expecting beans and rice Mexican-style since the place is owned-operated by mi gente, but it was a more Cajun-style brand and rice. These beans and rice are so damn good. I just can't. These kabobs are perfectly seasoned with fresh lemons, tomatoes, onions, and zucchini. It's is CLEAR they make these to order, so when you get it expect a wait...that will be well worth it. Yeah, I take back my last review. You don't come to a place like this in central Arkansas and order oysters. That was dumb. This, however, is the best decision I've made this trip. Hands down.

Eight years since my last visit to Little Rock, and The Flying Fish was at the top of my list. Some…read moreplaces you wonder if it will still be the same. Flying Fish hasn't missed a beat. The setup tells you everything you need to know before eating: paper towel roll on the table, hot sauce lineup, Lance saltines, and a soundtrack of Lightin' Hopkins and Son House fill the room. The chairs look like they escaped from a 1950s diner and that's how everyone likes it. The catfish is the real deal -- cornmeal-crusted, perfectly seasoned, tender inside with just the right snap on the outside. The shrimp are butterflied, large, perfectly breaded, and fried with the same care. Hush puppies that are neither greasy nor dense, which sounds simple until you realize how rarely anyone gets it right. There's a New Orleans soul to this place, and some Memphis too, but nothing precious about it. No one here is performing. Farmers, families, folks still in their work clothes. The people who cook this food grew up eating it every Sunday at grandma's table, and it shows in every basket. If mudbugs are still on the menu when you visit, don't overthink it. Order them. The Flying Fish isn't trying to be anything. That's exactly why it's everything.
