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

I have a gluten allergy and appreciated the separate GF menu, and the cornbread was delicious! I had grilled salmon with rice. Very good. The seasonal cocktail, Christmas Kiss, was a delicious twist on an Old Fashioned.
