- PPaulaVIPBaltimore / Maryland •20 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe were here on a Saturday night, and pleased that it was busy but not deafeningly loud. I love the atmosphere and food at this place. The “hurricane” I ordered had little to no alcohol in it… I didn’t complain, but think that’s not really fair at $12. Otherwise, all good!More infoRT's RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Creole / Cajun / Southern• Alexandria•4.7

Our server was great and recommended two delicious meals for us, the berry french toast and chicken & Biscoff waffles. We went for brunch and they had a DJ who played really good music. The whole restaurant was a vibe 🤌🏼✨More infoMilk & Honey - The WharfPrice: Moderate• American• Southwest Waterfront•4.3

- WWilliamWashington, D.C. Area •6 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 4, 2025My goodness, the roux--it is perfect, making the gumbo the best I've had outside of NOLA and H-town in years. That alone made the meal. Also loved the hush puppies (who knew). For my main the pork tender was perfectly cooked and beautifully matched with mustard cream. My friend had the short rib, which I tried and loved. The only misfire was the strawberry shortcake, which was too sweet, breading too dense, and only one strawberry. My friend's bread pudding was superb. The service was excellent, water refilled consistently, food arrived at a nice pace. Kudos to Dauphine's, I'll be back with a cajun spring in my step. Thank you!More infoDauphine’sPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.6
