“The food and drinks were fantastic, the atmosphere was soothing.”

Decided to check out Itta Bena on a Friday evening and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is a little hidden, and honestly I probably would’ve never found it if the person I was with hadn’t been before — but once inside, the atmosphere completely makes up for it. The space is upscale with dim lighting and a very romantic vibe. Perfect for date night, drinks with friends, or just a nice night out. The hostess was welcoming, and we decided to sit at the bar since it wasn’t too crowded. Service throughout the evening was excellent. We ordered a few appetizers along with drinks: the lamb chops,

Feb birthday celebration was perfect! Fantastic atmosphere, food, and service. Four of us dined on the best She-crab Soup, Bayou Crab Dip, Crab Cakes, Lamb Lollipops, Parm Fries and delectable desserts of Creme Brulee, Fudge Brownie with Ice Cream, Peach Cobbler and Ice Cream and Espresso Martini. Itta Bena is truly a Beale Street treasure!

Came to dinner here with friends on the recommendation of a local bartender and boy, howdy, yumminess rules here! I We started with the smoked bacon with feta & blueberry compote, which sounds like an odd combination but it was phenomenal. The fried green tomatoes with a lemon remoulade disappeared in a trice. My husband and one friend had the short ribs, tender & flavorful. Our other friend had the grilled lamb and was quite happy. We were all too stuffed for dessert but they looked yummy. Service was attentive and friendly, and our poor server was kept hopping - eight tables in her station!

The shrimp and grits were so delicious. Pork chop was a smidge dry, but the accompanying brussels and sweet potatoes were wonderful. Avocado appetizer was excellent as well. Creme brulee was good. The "strawberries" it's supposed to come with is a tiny slice of a strawberry. A full strawberry would have been nice. Smoked old fashioned was good. Live music was very pleasant and not overpowering. Waitress added 2 things on our bill that we didn't order, so check your bill before paying.
