    We had a lovely dinner with deliciously flavorful food. For starters, we selected the Fried Green Tomatoes— a nice combination of tanginess and spice. We ordered the Fish Fry with the accompanying Mac and Cheese and Collard Greens for the main entree. Our server, Rick was very pleasant and genuinely kind. Not only was he attentive, but knowledgeable about the menu items as well.

    Three 40 year friends, plus the husband of one, celebrated our February birthdays at Ouisie's by choice as each of us has previously dined there. We were not disappointed from the arrival to our exit, to include parking service, greeting by the front clerk and our table server. The food was delicious as expected and served with a smile. The three birthday ladies were treated with a dessert. It was another memorable occasion and I look forward to future visits, soon! A+ service from start to finish! It's a winner!
