    We went today to celebrate mine and my girlfriend birthday! Ambiance and service was great! We ordered three appetizers to share. The portions were good and food fresh but not outstanding and a little pricey which is not a problem but I think for the price point it should be just a notch above. But I would definitely go back and try and entree!

    Fantastic libations were just the beginning. The Cajun Eggrolls are amazing, the meatballs were awesome, and this was great spot to add to the getaway trip.

    Sly Fox drink didn’t disappoint. You can always get a great burger at FT. Even the house Chardonnay was a big thumbs up. Our waiter made us feel welcome & unrushed.

    One of the best meals I have ever had. A slightly spicy cabbage slaw with blackened shrimp. My husband had the blackened mahi-mahi over a corn polenta. Our forks made their way to each other’s plates throughout dinner. I chose the signature Raising Cane cocktail, which was also delicious. Our server suggested we finish with the brown butter cake with topped with a warm fruit compote and fresh whipped cream. Also outstanding. Highly recommend this delightful restaurant!
    Forgotten TonicResponded on February 24, 2025
    Leslie, this is the kind of review that makes our day! Love that you and your husband were swapping bites—always a sign of a great meal. The blackened shrimp and mahi-mahi are definitely favorites, and we’re so glad you enjoyed them along with the Raising Cane cocktail. Thanks for the kind words and recommendation—hope to see you both again soon for another unforgettable meal on Aviles Street!
