    Kacie was excellent in securing a large dining table for my party. She rapidly responded to emails! Parker’s service was absolutely wonderful. All of my guests enjoyed themselves and I felt very special celebrating my birthday here!

    Food was outstanding! My wife had the wedge salad and filet, I had the house special salad and the flounder special. We split the banana crème pie for dessert(over the top). The service was slow, I think mostly was due to lack of waiters/waitress’s. I was disappointed in that the occasion was our 38th wedding anniversary and that was never mentioned by anyone.

    Was looking forward to dining in the beautiful big dining area but the girl wanted to sit us right on top of another couple when the place was all empty.I'm sure the other couple wanted their privacy also, the two tables were so close I could touch their table.It was our anniversary we didn't want to eat with strangers. I asked for a more private table and went sit us in the green room. That area was not what I was planning on. They should ask where we rather be sitting for that price.

    This is a favorite restaurant of ours. We visit every time we come New Orleans way. It rivals any of the restaurants in the city. The Eggplant Napoleon and French Martinis are my favorite.

    Two of us took our mothers, who are in their mid nineties, for lunch. It’s was so nice to have Houmas house have a golf cart to shuttle us to the Carriage house restaurant and back. Our waitress, Lauren was very nice, knowledgeable, and efficient. The restaurant is a higher price than some lunch spots, so be aware of this. I knew this because we have dined here before . The food is always excellent. The food, service, and experience never disappoints us.

    My wife and I celebrated our 34th anniversary at Houmas House. We started in the Turtle Bar for cocktails and then dined in the Carriage House. We highly recommend the Crab Cake & Mango for an appetizer. I had the Red Fish entree, which was excellent. My wife had the Eggplant Napoleon, which she loved. And of course, Bread Pudding for dessert. We live in Baton Rouge, and we have been to Houmas House many times. If you're not used to summer heat in South Louisiana, I would suggest walking the grounds in the Spring or Fall.
