Called the restaurant directly to make a reservation for 6. My call was answered by a very friendly staff member. When we visited the night of our reservation, everything was great. The hostess was very nice and seated us right away. We were greeted by our server, Nate. He took great care of our table the entire evening. The drink, food, and band were all fabulous. Jambalaya is my favorite. All in all, it's was a fantastic night out. Can't wait for our next visit to Iva Lee's.The only negative was that we didn't get the heart-shaped corn bread that we love so much.

Heather the hostess was very rude to my wife when she came in asking for a table. People were leaving and offered their table to us so I asked if we could sit at that table and she barked at me telling me that I can’t sit any where. I will not be coming back here!!

I live tge cigar/Great Gatsby feel of this restaurant! Last minute decision, we celebrated my best friend's 50th birthday and they did not dissappoint! We had live entertainment (Saturday) great food, fast service and a kind smile from our server. We tried so.e appetizers (artichokes, shrimp, but the winner was the oh so delicious chocolate cake!!

It's a high-energy environment in the bar area with exceptional people watching and live music. The food is very good quality and the restaurant is great dining for groups or romantic dinner for two. Super fun atmosphere for an evening out. Don't forget to put your dancing shoes on because you'll want to dance to the great live music they feature regularly. Check the schedule. Enjoy!
