Best Oyster Bars in Gretna

Adam was a great waiter. Food very good, excellent oysters, some of the other dishes more good than great...but overall very pleasant!

We had a lovely evening at Trenasse. And, TBH, we were a little hesitant to go there. It is housed in a hotel, though not affiliated with the hotel, and we feared a "hotel restaurant" experience. Even as we sat down and viewed the other diners, we felt those concerns were confirmed. Boy were we wrong! First, Bailey was a tremendous server. Kind. Attentive without being annoying. Knowledgeable. Great interpersonal skills. Really enjoyed her! And the other staff were equally impressive. Overall, just a great team. AND the food was outstanding! We started with the Oysters Gratin...so good. We could have just had a few orders of those and been perfectly happy. Then we tried the gumbo and the blue crab bisque. They were very good, though we did note they seemed just a touch watery. I attributed that to the early evening time during which we dined and that it was a hot day...who was ordering soup. I imagine if it had simmered a bit more and cooked off some of that water it would have been divine! Then we got the sampler plate: shrimp and grits; crawfish pie; and the trout. It was all so good...even better than we expected. I'm a so-so fan of fish and really liked that. The pie was a new dish for us and we both loved it. But the winner was the shrimp & grits...hands down! the corn base of the grits was just really good. Finally, we ended our meal with the bread pudding...it was sooo delicious! P.S. I enjoyed the Blackberry Bramble cocktail and the rose bubbles. Also perfect choices. Thanks for a great evening, Trenasse!

Easter brunch was great. The Easter bunny and visited the table. The staff was kind and knowledgeable. Food was great, we had the charbroiled oysters, eggs Benedict and seafood crepe. Will definitely be back
