    Me and my husband both ordered prime rib, the specialty. We both ordered it medium rare. Ordered the smaller cut and my husband ordered the larger cut. My husband’s was too well done, thin and fatty. Mine was too well done . I took one taste of mine but it was very tough. Needless to say we sent them back and ordered something different. My husband ordered meat loaf which came burnt and very dried out! What a horrible meal. We will never go back !!!!

    Unfortunately our Christmas Eve family dinner was less than ideal. I had made the reservation in July for a special meal with family and requested a table near a fireplace. Instead, we were placed in the bar, in a tiny booth, with a view into the restroom! We waited 1.5 hours for our food, it was lukewarm warm and nothing special. Our waitress was kind but it was all very disappointing. We will not be returning.

    The food was very good. Server was new and had to read sides and wine list from the menu. Music playing - thought it was a piano but didn’t see any live musicians. It was borderline loud. Not the old days when Deshas would have live bands and live entertainment many nights.

    Came in for brunch and had a very nice dining experience. Host staff and wait staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was great and food was fine. Good value for the money. The booth seating is comfortable, with plenty of room for four adults. Restaurant was very noisy, but this is expected on a busy weekend and with the vaulted wood ceilings.

    My friend and I realized that today was going to be crowded and noisy, were able to get the back, single booth b/c we noticed 2 large tables set for guests. We had a great time as usual. We always come to DeSha’s b/c she lives over 1/2 hour away. George was our server and did a great job despite the amount of customers. Food was good. Your menu is wonderful for lunch! Suzanne Macke
