First of all this place has a friendly bar and very good live music to listen to. The bad is that it's loud in the bar and hard to have a conversation without talking really loud. Still, it goes with the club type scene and is ok.The six of us had dinner in a room that was out of the noise so was much better. We had an excellent waiter who was attentive and helpful. Our meal started with very good corn bread and an equally good salad. The food was another thing. The two cajun dishes were spicy hot but just didn't have the oh wow factor. The two steaks were just ok, and were not not hot enough but that can happen anywhere. The beignets were really pathetic. Dry and covered with the usual powered sugar they really missed the mark. Lilana's has been here a long time and seems to please lots of customers but it is not our go to place. Except for the music it's just not on our list of places to go back to.
