A friend heard me bragging about Ousie's Table and told me there were some negative reviews on line. I looked and had to respond with my own experience, especially since one never can tell when negative things start showing up whether it's really true or part of a campaign for some other reason. I have eaten at Ouisie's many times, and most recently took associates from Paris there after they asked to eat some of the Southern food I had bragged to them about over the years. Our evening could not have been better for me or for how a couple of well-versed French visitors now see our city. The brandied oysters started the compliments and the quail and also the chicken-fried venison kept them going. I have heard since from mutual friends in Paris who said they have heard over and over how great Ouisie's is. That is not an easy thing for a Parisian to admit! Ousie's Table is one of our city's finest restaurants. It's food never gets dull. The rooms are wonderfully comfortable, and the staff has always been professional. One assistant manager even heard my associate's accents and began speaking French with them. My biggest regret is if any of these negative reviews has caused one person not to experience the best for his or herself.
Pros: Imaginative food, wonderful ambience and a true, modern taste of the region
Cons: If you don't like to valet, but it's also a small lot
