    Our dining experience last night was excellent. The food, service and atmosphere went above and beyond our expectations. I had requested a table for 8 instead of the long one and my request was honored. We have decided that it will be one of our Christmas traditions every year.

    If you want to impress someone visiting the area for the first time, or someone who has never been to Houmas House, reserve a table at the Carriage House for lunch. The food is amazing, and the walk to the restaurant allows your visitor to see a lot of the grounds. Stop on the way at the Turtle Bar for a cocktail!

    They seemed to have overbooked for the evening and rushed every single course - bringing the main course while we were still eating our appetizers, desserts as we were finishing main. And within minutes of signing the check they asked us to please leave cause they needed the table. Our dinner from seating to being asked to leave was right at an hour. We were all shocked and a little taken aback as it was supposed to be a Christmas event for our parents with the BR Symphony brass band followed by a nice dinner. For the price they should take less reservations so people can eat and enjoy themselves instead of being rushed through a meal and out
