    My fifth time at Tchefuncta but my first time for lunch. The service was helpful and not intrusive. The atmosphere is just lovely. And the food is fantastic. I got the triple tail which was perfection and my best friend had the mussels. The mussels are my usual favorite but the triple tail was amazing. My husband, mother and I also went Sunday for brunch. It was fabulous. I just wish you had the triple tail Sunday so mom could have tried it. Fish is her favorite. But the lobster eggs sardou was great too.

    Service was great. I rate the food as only ok because it was a mixed bag. The veal was only ok, as was the turtle soup, but the shrimp and grits as well as the ice cream and the cinnamon rolls were truly a delight. The view and the ambiance were perfect ! I will definitely be back!

    Me & my sister celebrated our birthdays a little early for lunch at the bar. Ellie was our server/bartender. Ellie was great! Helpful, quick & friendly. We had an oyster app, cocktails, split a burger, & then had an amazing dessert, which had Happy BD written beautifully on the plate. We also had sparkling wine with dessert. Everything was delicious! We enjoyed everything very much. Then walked out onto the balcony for the view. Highly recommend!

    Glad we made the drive across the lake. Sorry it took us so long to visit but we'll be back VERY soon. The brunch cocktails and food were excellent. The service was outstanding and made my birthday girl feel very special. Beautiful restaurant on the Tchefuncte River which makes the entire experience a remarkable one.

    Wait Staff looked dirty…..Oily hair, etc. She forgot our bread after asking several times & she also forgot our side of Cauliflower. Bill was exorbitant, but we did have 2 bottles of wine @ $57.00 per bottle. That not bad for the wine. Ambience was great!

    Impeccable service and incredible food. This dinner was our favorite date night spot yet! Diver scallops aren't on many menus in this area, so I was super excited to find them here! Only miss was the cacio e pepe- pasta must've not been hot enough to melt any cheese.

    It was beautiful and the food and service was great! Though overpriced. And we loved most of the music but electic guitar solos are not dinner music. The desserts were delish and decadent! It's really nice to have a place to get dressed up for and be treated so nicely. The water view is great too!

    Description of the menu from the server was confusing. When she stated the homemade pasta was a shared dish we ordered it along with 2 proteins (shrimp & soft shell crab) so we each could split the pasta. The shared order of pasta was very small and only enough for 1 person.
