I walked up and saw a happy hour sign from 3 to 6pm M-F. That was a plus, because it was around 4pm. I walked in and was greeted by a very friendly staff. Unc and Dontae were really nice and helped me make a choice. I got the bad decision, with a shot of Hennessy. The shots were buy one get one free. The Bad decision was a mix of all the flavors. It was really good, it tasted like fruit punch. They call it a Terrible decision if you add a shot. Lol It was really good. I was planning on going home and relaxing so I didn't have much to do after. I got the 32oz. They also had food, which I will try the next time I go back. They had several screens and even games there you could play with your friends. I could see myself doing a girls night there or linking up with friends.

We tried the okra and mozzarella sticks, as well. Tastiness! Service was on point- good brought right to your table. Also, delicious Jell-O shots went around: some being Apple Crown, Pineapple Tequila, Peach Crown, and Pink Panty (hey, I don't make the rules). They were excellent! Plus, there was a raffle at the end. They were card games and Checkers to peruse. Put this spot on your DeSoto visit. Plenty of parking in the retail lot. Enjoy!

Other than that, my biggest issue was not even the mistake that was made--it was the way it was handled. Mistakes happen, but when they do, the right thing to do is own it, apologize, and fix the problem. Instead, the staff had an attitude and made the situation worse. Good customer service goes a long way, and unfortunately, that was completely missing here. Based on the poor service alone, I would give zero stars if I could.

Apparently, now they charge for valet which is $15 or $20 - this was NOT the case a month ago according to my friend. That was the first red flag! Places that become "popular" but have horrible parking situations eventually turn around & monetize off of it. Upon entering, we were asked if we had reservations. We stated no, so she proceeded to tell us that tables are reservation only but that we can sit at the bar. Reservations for ALL tables is absurd. Luckily, we were able to find seats at the bar. We were immediately greeted but it took forever for everything. Took about 15 mins before a straw even hit my lip & I had to flag another bartender down to ask again for a water, which takes 3 seconds to pour. The service took so long I had my whole order ready about time Zach got back to us - keep in mind this was my first & I'm pretty sure my last visit. I ordered the lamb chops which the menu said came with two sides for $36, a Lab Coat for $16 & a side of Elote which I thought was $6. Apparently the QR code we scanned & the menu on their own website are old menus because the receipt showed VERY different numbers. The receipt shows I was charged: $36 for 3 lamb chops & mashed potatoes, $7.28 for a CUP OF GREENS, $8.32 for a CUP OF ELOTE, & $16 for the lab coat and lets not forget the automatic gratuity LOL. So my total came to $83.32 which is diabolical. I have been to a lot of upscale places & paid the same price if not more for way better service & food. The lamb chops were 8/10, the greens 2/10 I have never had any greens like theirs & thats not a compliment by any means. It tasted like the greens were soaked in some gumbo roux it was just off. The elote 7/10 - not the best I've had but passable. The best part was for sure the mashed potatoes 10/10! I enjoyed the Lab Coat & the lab glass it came in, it was a nice touch. Overall, the ambiance gave grown & sexy as expected - perfect for a date night or ladies/guys night out but everything else I would pass on. Also, the DJ came in while we were dining & he was nice, kept the vibe going. You know they say some places get in over their head out here & it becomes their ends...well I'll wait this one out.

Phatt's Cajun Seafood & Daiquiri Bar had me wanting to love it, especially because I'm always down…read morefor a good seafood spot with Cajun flavors. Unfortunately, this visit was more "it could've been better" than "I need to come back." THE VIBE Walking in, the first thing you'll notice is the music. Music is definitely part of the atmosphere at establishments like this, especially during the daytime, but it was a little too loud for the space. We actually had trouble hearing our waitress from across the bar, which made ordering more difficult than it needed to be. The restaurant itself was clean, but staffing seemed to be a major issue. Our waitress was essentially the entire front of house operation greeting guests, taking orders, preparing drinks, serving customers, and handling checks. That's a LOT for one person, and it showed. Our food took a while to come out, and getting checked out at the end took some patience as well. Because she was handling so much on her own, tables that needed to be wiped down were left waiting. RESTROOM CHECK The ladies' restroom definitely needs some attention. There was only one stall, and unfortunately, the toilet was backed up. Since there wasn't another stall available, I had no choice but to use it. Definitely not the most pleasant part of the visit. My family ordered several things so we could get a good feel for the menu: Catfish Basket The catfish was fried way too hard for my liking and was lacking the seasoning I was expecting from a Cajun seafood spot. I wanted more flavor and that signature Cajun kick. Lemon Pepper Wings Basket These tasted more like regular fried chicken wings than lemon pepper wings. The lemon pepper seasoning was barely noticeable. The fries were also soggy and lacking flavor. Shrimp Po'Boy + Fried Okra This was probably my biggest disappointment. A po'boy should traditionally been served on French bread, but this came on a much smaller bun similar to a hotdog bun. Because of that, the toppings were constantly trying to escape the sandwich. The shrimp was overcooked, dry, and tough, which really took away from the sandwich. I had to bring in some reinforcements with the hot sauce and homemade tartar sauce just to make it more enjoyable. The pricing was pretty average for a seafood restaurant, so I didn't feel like we were overcharged. One thing I did appreciate: there was no automatic 18% gratuity added to the bill. Given the service during our visit, I appreciated having the opportunity to decide what I felt was appropriate. I think Phatt's has the foundation to be a really good neighborhood seafood spot. The concept is there, the restaurant was clean, and the prices were reasonable. But this visit felt like the seasoning, preparation, staffing, and overall attention to detail were missing.
