OUTSTANDING. The chef served a "taste" of Consommé that they had created from scratch. DELICIOUS is all I can say. I truly hope they add this as a special during the Fall holidays. It is so flavorful and has a depth that makes your tastebuds want more. This was only a tiny portion of the meal. The Sea Bass is the most tender flaky fish with a sauce that has the intense depth of flavors like the Consommé has. The service is top notch and the ambiance and views are very inviting. We will certainly ne back. One our new favorites. Great for a birthday, anniversary, or date outing. Just dinner is totally acceptable too! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Our dinner at Tchefuncte's exceeded our expectations. Honestly, the food, service, and atmosphere were as good as it gets. We were seated in the bar area with a gorgeous view of the Tchefuncte River. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and demonstrated impeccable 'timing'. The craft cocktails were creative and beautifully presented, with colorful history and background about the individual ingredients. The Pork Belly & Fried Oyster, and Crab Cake apps were meticulously prepared and absolutely delicious! The Hawaiian rib-eye was of the highest quality, and they nailed the temp. The Lasagna stood out for its unique presentation and savory goodness. The star of the show was the warm Blueberry Cobbler with housemade Honeycomb Ice Cream. We would return just for that dessert! The music and decor are a perfect match for the clean, modern aesthetic, creating a vibe that's as comfortable as it is elegant. All in all, this was the most enjoyable dining experience we've had in years, and we can't wait to go back!

My mom and I brought my dad here for Father's Day, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The place is incredibly beautiful, the service is fantastic, and the food is over-the-top! They even gave us a few things as compliments of the house, which was so kind. The dishes we had were: Starters: -Crab & Crawfish Cheesecake -Crispy Duck Spring Rolls -Jumbo Lump Crab Cake -Complimentary Rolls w/ Honey Butter Plates: -Crispy Skin Snapper -Cast Iron Seared Redfish -Shrimp Gnocchi (They were out of the lobster for the night, so this was the substitute. It was delicious though.) Sides: -Tchefuncte Potatoes -Creamed Spinach Dessert: -Chocolate Souffle We enjoyed absolutely everything. We will definitely be back!
