    We had a wonderful meal at Beatrice. The food was delicious … expertly prepared and seasoned. We enjoyed the Cajun eggrolls, bread basket and Beatrice salad for starters. Entrees consisted of redfish special, seafood linguini Alfredo and catfish/fried chicken combo and we finished with a shared pumpkin cheesecake which had a pumpkin spice cake base with a cheesecake topping. Simply delightful! Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. We can’t wait to return!!

    Great experience. Took a skeptic with me for lunch. The oyster mushrooms in the marinara sauce on bowtie pasta was a big hit. Highly recommend.
