I kept trying to find the right word to describe our experience at Parrish's, and the only one that…read moretruly fits is immaculate. My wife and I were in town celebrating my birthday weekend and were looking for a place that offered both culinary excellence and a great atmosphere--and Parrish's delivered on every level. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by our waiter, Casey, who was attentive, personable, and extremely knowledgeable, offering great recommendations throughout the evening. We started with the beef tips, which melted in your mouth, and the French onion soup that tasted like home. Our Caesar salads were light and perfectly balanced. For our entrées, the Marry Me Chicken pasta was bursting with flavor, and the steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare. We added a lobster tail and the crawfish mac on the side--both excellent choices. Dessert was the chocolate lava cake, which finished the meal perfectly. Every appetizer, entrée, and dessert was consistently delicious, and you could truly taste the care put into each dish. The owner even stopped by to make sure we enjoyed our evening and personally boxed up our food, which was a thoughtful and memorable touch. I would highly recommend Parrish's to anyone visiting the Biloxi/Long Beach area. We will absolutely be back. Truly Exquisite.

Our family decided to give Parrish's a try. We sat on the lounge side and the ambiance was neat and…read morethe views into the gulf were amazing. Are waiter was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We ordered drinks and an appetizer. The seafood dip with the fried bread was amazing. The food came out for the dinner and we weren't as impressed. One daughter had bacon wrapped scallops and they were great, the other 4 of us were not so lucky. My wife and I ordered the "Kenny's feast" because it had everything, steak, shrimp, scallops, lobster, fish, crabmeat... a while selection. The fish was ok and edible. The scallops were good. The lobster and shrimp were rubber, the steak was cooked correctly but near inedible due to the major gas/ propane cooked flavor. My other daughter had a blackened chicken pasta dish that had a very sour off putting flavor and she didn't take a second bite. Another daughter had the duck and she said it was ok, but lacking flavor. So out of $300 for dinner only one and half meals were edible. The pasta dish was retuned to kitchen and taken off the bill, the next complaint of the "feast" meal seemed to fall on deaf ears when we mentioned the issues we had. So I chalk this visit up to sub par cookery and we won't come back again.

We made a reservation for a Monday night, when a lot of other restaurants in the area are closed. We arrived a little early but our table was ready and we were seated immediately. The space was beautifully appointed with soft lighting and dark colors. Our service team was attentive and friendly but not overbearing. We ordered cocktails and enjoyed for awhile before ordering. The meatball amuse buche came quickly and was delicious. We started with turtle soup and a wedge salad. The soup was tasty but heavy on the tomatoes and very thick, more like a stew than a soup. The wedge salad was exactly what I wanted it to be - crisp, fresh, and quality components. I liked that much of the dressing was on the side of the wedge itself so I could control the quantity in each bite. We ordered the New York Strip and Spinalis for our entrees, with crawfish macaroni and cheese and creamed spinach as our sides. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and served on searing hot plates, which we love. The kitchen was a bit heavy handed with the black pepper on the New York Strip but it was still enjoyable. The Spinalis was amazing and I was excited that they offered this uncommon cut. Both of the sides were fine, nothing to blow us away. We were too full for dessert and left very satisfied with our experience.

A star has arrived in Ocean Springs!…read more From the moment you walk in, you get that classic steakhouse feel. The bar is right up front and makes a great spot to meet friends after work, enjoy a cocktail while waiting for your table, or simply unwind. Their signature cocktails are creative and delicious, and the wine list is solid. If bourbon or whiskey is your drink of choice, they have an impressive top-shelf selection for those who appreciate a good pour. The dining room is thoughtfully designed with tables spaced comfortably apart, so you're not dining on top of the next party. We had a group of nine during the dinner rush, which can sometimes be challenging for a restaurant. Not here. The staff was absolutely amazing. They moved with precision, almost as if they had rehearsed every step. The teamwork was impressive and exactly what you'd hope for from a fine steakhouse. Well done, folks. Well done. The food was exceptional from start to finish. Courses arrived at just the right pace, giving us time to enjoy each one without feeling rushed. We sampled just about everything--from appetizers to desserts--and every dish was delicious and cooked exactly as ordered. This is a true steakhouse. It's not Outback or one of the other chain restaurants. Yes, it's a higher-end dining experience with higher-end prices, but that's exactly what you're paying for: outstanding food, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that makes the evening feel special. Great conversation, handcrafted cocktails, incredible food, and good company. Isn't that what dining out is all about? This Yelper will definitely be back. Well done, Desi Vegas...well done! Cheers!

I liked how it was upstairs and had an elevator for more accessibility! Also if it wasn't so hot out we might've enjoyed their patio! Our server was attentive and the runner of food was kind. The food however did not match how well this place is rated! So disappointing. My husband's shrimp was raw. My brother's shrimp and grits were over-salted and my step-mom's chicken was burnt to a crispy black. Thankfully my entree of French toast wasn't destroyed. It was mid and edible. The best part was the fresh fruit on the side that my child devoured. We had to get an entree comped and our generous server gave us a check discount. No to-go boxes at our table. Sad, we really wanted to enjoy our experience and food. We looked at the menu beforehand and were excited! We won't go back but there's a sushi restaurant below them we will check out!

Unfortunately we were left pretty underwhelmed with the experience. It's not that Woody's is bad, per se, it just isn't...good. The service was great. Our server, Jaclyn, was very attentive and helpful. She didn't hover but she made sure we had what we needed and was nearby if we had questions or requests. Jaclyn recommended the margarita, which is where things started going downhill. My dad ordered a classic lime margarita and didn't take more than a couple drinks of it. We all tried it and agreed it just had a nasty flavor. Sort of like bad white grape juice? It was weird, and of course there's a little asterisk on the menu that notes all alcohol sales as final. We were unimpressed with that but didn't even try to argue the point. Our food came next. It was actually incredibly fast service, especially considering the 30-top that was seated when we arrived, with their orders given to the kitchen right before ours. Everything was hot and fresh, though not all delicious. Here's a run down of my family's reviews of their food: Build-A-Burger w/ Amer. cheese - A bit too thick and tough like the meat had been slightly overworked, but it had a great flavor and was seasoned well. The edges were burnt and it was well done, not medium well. Good beer-battered fries. Spicy Hawaiian chicken sandwich - Very flavorful and tropical but the toppings made the bun soggy and the ratio of filling to bun was way off, even with ham and lettuce removed. Crab cake tower - The fried green tomatoes and sauce were great, as was the corn bean salsa that came with it. The crab cakes were good too, though nothing special. The shrimp on top were juicy and well-seasoned. Wouldn't go back for it though. Korean pork tacos w/ mac & cheese - They were okay. The slaw included was a bit too sour but the pork was juicy and flavorful. The mac & cheese was too bland. Chicken strips & fries - The chicken tenders were cut wrong so they were hard to eat. I had to cut them up with a fork and knife to get bite-sized pieces that I could chew. They had a good flavor but the technique needs some work. The beer-battered fries have a strange seasoning on them that got more unpleasant the more I ate, but everyone else liked them, so that's probably just me. This is one of my least favorite restaurants we've been to on the Gulf Coast, which is unfortunate because I honestly thought I was going to like it a lot! For the price, I don't think this is a great place, especially because it's pretty out of the way from the main drag(s).

My husband and I showed up on a Thursday evening without a reservation and were immediately seated. (They said Fridays and Saturdays are their busiest days so you may not have as good of luck those days) the ambiance in the place is beautiful, servers were attentive and accommodating, and food came out quickly. We never went long without food and drinks in front of us! On to the food! Before our food came out we were served a cute little sweet cornbread with freshly salted butter on top. It was very good! For an appetizer we shared the sausage & shrimp gyoza and oh my gosh the sauce on these things was delicious. We highly highly recommend this dish! For our meals I had the bouillabaisse which included mussels, clams, shrimp, and fish in a dish with a delicious red sauce. The plate was delightfully hot so I know it went straight from cooking to in front of me! It came with some bread so that you can enjoy the sauce even more. My husband got the primed ribeye and he liked it but he said he really wants to try the duck next time. The drinks were great! My only suggestion for the restaurant is that the blue cheese stuffed olives in dirty martinis should be hand stuffed rather than store bought as I've had it at other restaurants and it makes a huge difference in a martini. Other than that tiny thing we had a lovely experience and we will be telling our friends and family to go!

Our server had a fantastic personality and knew the menu items inside and out, but she was MIA at key times and drink service was rather slow, both for water refills and bar drinks. The little neck clam app had great components, but combined, it was too much. The sauce would have been an excellent soup on its own, but between its hearty, smoky flavors and a heavy sprinkling of dill, the clams were completely overpowered. The shrimp toast was more of a hit, with all the Thai flavors perfectly balanced in a creative take on a bao. The bouillabaisse had lots of fresh seafood, but again the sauce was a bit overpowering and also a little too thick and sweet. The duck entree was outstanding - perfectly cooked and great flavors with a hoisin based sauce and grilled cabbage. The only desserts available were gelatos so we passed. We really wanted to love this place more than we did and hope they hit their stride before our next visit to Ocean Springs.
