    This was our first visit to the Braized Onion. The experience was perfect! The service was friendly and professional, the food was delicious, and the value on point. I had the meatloaf, which was unique and delicious. A friend joining me had the fish and chips, which was also delicious. The coconut cream pie was unlike any I’ve ever tasted!

    Everything was fine. Basic. The shrimp and grits were very good. Lobster risotto not so much. Wine list sub par, but cocktails were good. Good service.

    Our dinner experience was amazing. From the appetizers to the mains to the desserts, it was delicious. There were 8 in our group. Our waitress was excellent. She took extra care to make sure that we were well taken care of all night. The Braised Onion is 100% recommended.

    The staff and the Manager make you feel welcomed and inviting. The Coconut Creme Pie is excellent. Brought a tear to my eye....was my father's favorite pie and when I took that first bite....OMG!! Excellent. Home made!

    Our lunch was delightful. It was a warm and friendly environment with excellent food. We would recommend the French Onion Soup and the Flat Bread.

    Had a reservation for 4:30pm, arrived 15 minutes early. Was told our server wasn't there yet, pleas be patient and we'd be seated soon. Was seated before reservation, but after a 5pm reservation who had the same waiter. Waiter was fantastic, attentive but not overly so. Kept table cleared between appetizers and dinner. Food was awesome. Best lobster Mac and cheese my wife ever had, lots of lobster tail and claw meat. I had braised short rib stroganoff. Lots of rib meat, great flavor. Will definitely go back

    As always the food served was top notch. Service from host to Manager was polite and friendly. We were greeted and checked on by all staff who were happy to serve even though it was a holiday. We were provided with A++ service from the time we walked into the restaurant til the time we walked to our car.
