Trapani's Eatery

Cozy Dining option across from the water. The gumbo was yummy and well seasoned. The crab cakes were good, but could have used some additional sauce element. We had a table of 5 and the service was fast.

Ask for less and pay more. I've never had to pay $4 extra on a $26 entree just for no mushrooms. Also, the lady who owns the place has no ability to deal with customers appropriately and she treats the wait staff horribly. Food was bland and over priced for the quality and flavor that made its way to the table. This area has plenty of other options for dining so I would just bypass this establishment.

Their prices went up; which is crazy since it is always a roll of the dice. There is no consistency except that every time it will be different. It is so hit or miss. Cannot count on anything to be the same as last time, be that good or bad. Just so disappointing. If everyone would start sending back the meal instead of eating it ....possibly we would start getting some consistency. Maybe? I live in Old Towne BSL and eat at our restaurants regularly - 2-3 times a week and never write reviews because they are so subjective. But, I am just going to give the facts. I so desperately want this inconsistency to stop. Spinach/artichoke dip - very good. I pay extra and get the fried wontons - flat. Lots of spinach, cheese good, portion was good with former price.I get the Asian/Blackened Tacos: 3 out of 4 good. 4th sloppy sauce everywhere-overcooked. Royal Reds - head off (double solution washed). Jourdan River Steamers are head on (frozen on boat). Not over-seasoned. Fried green tomatoes - have had them and they were good: thickness, cooked well, not greasy, good sauceCuban Press - had it multiple times. Good.Shrimp Ecstasy- had it multiple times. Good.

I really like the catfish here! As a person who hates fishy fish, this place nailed it! The catfish on the poboy was light and not oily. It tasted so good and was not at all fishy.Everyone in our party liked their food and the service was fantastic!

Easy spot to get into on a Tuesday night. Cute patio but a little chilly. The oysters and onion rings were the win for dinner. The oyster were a nice size. The horseradish was serious stuff! Mahi Mahi Asian taco was good. The paneed chicken was huge and good crisp. The fried green tomatoes with crab and hollandaise would have been a win if the tomatoes had been on the vine another day or two. Great service.

Sheesh, this place is great! Food, vibes, drinks, service, check! I really enjoyed the claws*, my former boyfriend now husband enjoyed the royal reds, the trout & pasta- yum, nice kids menu. BSL cuisine with excellent quality & service. #BSL*Clause on claws: don't miss the saucy goodness beneath the iceberg [lettuce], and the cooked/charred lemon wedge- use it for good.

It's unfortunate that with such a great location, the food is subpar and EXPENSIVE. The crab cakes were soggy on the inside and sat in a bed of oil as did the sautéed crab claws I ordered as an appetizer- they too sat on a soggy bed of lettuce, covered in oil and were absolutely flavorless. The cocktail sauce I dipped them in was good. Must have been from a jar. Hubby ordered the veal which was also over cooked, under seasoned & rubbery and the pasta was unseasoned and there's a cheese or something mixed into the pasta that gave it a weird texture. My fried oyster Caesar salad was ok. I was struggling to find the seasoning. The dressing was bland, lettuce soggy and warm. My oysters were cooked beautifully, but again, where's the flavor? On the bright side, our waitress was great and the chicken Po-Boy was excellent! Come here for that and a drink (Sunset on the Bay - yum), but nothing else.UPDATE: My daughter had the crab cakes and ended up throwing up at 3 in the morning. Beware!

Love this place. The food and the staff are incredible. Great atmosphere. Cuban sandwich and chargrilled oysters are bomb. You can't go wrong.

The crab cakes with Champagne Reduction Sauce are delicious. The Shrimp Ecstasy was very good. The service was great and the indoor seating was very nice and not too noisy.

Raw oysters were fresh and enjoyed the all the shrimp in the gumbo. This restaurant doesn't deserve a 3 star rating. Great service!
