    We had a great time at the jazz brunch. The wait staff attended to all of our needs. My wife and I ate different fish dishes. Each was prepared and presented beautifully. The jazz combo was a delight. When they asked for requests, my wife responded, “play something you like that you don’t get asked to play very often”. They responded with Brubeck’s “Take Five”. The meal ended with a tasty chocolate pecan tart that almost as satisfying at the great music. This is what a fine dining treat should be.

    Always a pleasure eating at Tujague’s. The food is fresh and tasty and follows the Louisiana tradition of cooking. Especially delicious was the fish entree. It’s also remarkable that they generate a value priced wine list that is comprehensive and recognizable.

    We came for Valentine’s Day and had a lovely time, as usual. We did not order the prix fixe dinner but instead ordered off the regular menu. My husband had gumbo, and the red fish, and a side of fried Brussels sprouts. I had the starter raviolo as my main with a side of charred green beans. Delicious! Thank you, Atchafalaya, for another wonderful evening.

    The valentines dinner was great. We had a great server named Jeremy. Every table was taken but Jeremy was always there at the right time when we needed anything, and he was great at having conversation. If you get the chance ask for him! We were only suppose to have the table for an hour and a half, but we ended up staying two hours without realizing it. Im surprised that happened on Valentine’s Day with how crowded it was, but I guarantee he had part to play in that. Thank you Jeremy!
