"A local friend recommended this restaurant because of their red beans, sausage and rice and catfish. They did not disappoint. We dined in and had a very friendly server. From the tempting menu we instead chose a tasty crawfish étouffée and meat pie (flaky crust and lots of filling platter with dirty rice, each served with a fresh side salad, and great tasting iced teas. This was a very good and filling lunch! A bit more costly but definitely worth it! We did ordered the catfish and red beans, sausage and rice with bread pudding to go for our local friend!"

"I had a family friend who knew that I LOVE tea. He brought me a gallon from cane. Let's just say I Love it. Since then I buy 2 gal every 2 weeks, let's just say, I'm hooked, today 1-15-25 I purchased 2 gallons again with pickup after work. This pickup was disappointing, I could have made this tea at home. It wasn't the same quality. Service: Takeaway Meal type: Other"

"When my friends and I arrived in Natchitoches yesterday, we decided to dine at this restaurant. I ordered the redfish, while my spouse opted for the seafood stew. Our friends enjoyed fried oysters and shrimp. Everything was perfectly cooked, and the restaurant was bustling with locals who were enjoying their meals and chatting with one another. I did think the prices for steaks were a bit on the high side, but overall, I was very impressed. The owner was present and made a point to interact with customers. I was pleased with our choice to eat here."

"More than just a dinner. My wife and I are from San Antonio, Tx, but we’re born and raised here in Natchitoches. We popped in late last night for the Ahi and steak. The food and service were both excellent! We were not surprised at all by the level of quality, when we found out that the new owners were actually our wedding planners back in 2002. They hosted our rehearsal dinner at the Mason Louisiane, we exchanged vows under a 200 year old oak tree on the riverbank and actually had our wedding reception at the Mariners! It was also ironic that I actually worked at the Mariners during the 80’s while attending NSU. So many amazing memories, I think we have a new tradition now. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the excellent bar service as well. Will definitely be back. Congratulations!"

"We came in for dinner on 4/6/2024. Tome was 6:30ish. There was no waiting, however we wanted to sit outside so we took a table in the dining area closest to the street in tge corner table and waited for an outside table. Our waitress was a new young lady, who was trying very hard but was not trained and was totally lost. We ordered our meal and told Lili that we were going to be moved outside. She said no problem. At this point we should have gotten up and left. We actually talked about the tv show that could cone into this restaurant and turn it around. I could see the bar and the front door and the door going out to the deck from my seat so I watched as another couple came in and were taken out to the deck with no wait. So, i went to tge checkin and said that we were going to wait in the bar( hightop table next to main front door) till our table was ready. We still hadn’t gotten our water so we just sat and waited. This is when I saw a man who was sitting with a woman just to the right side of the singer come in from his table to talk to the bartender. She made him a cocktail for his companion in a martini glass that was a bright blue color. She said no charge and he handed her a single bill as a tip. At that point we had our water and noticed that there was 2 tables outside on tge deck, however the hostess(s) never came to seat us, so i went and asked again. He said sure you can go out and we did. I told him to let our waitress know. We sat at the lower deck under the tree(great seat) with a view of the river. It wasn’t very long before our meals arrived. However my husband had ordered a salad and it never came just our meals came. He ordered tge chicken breast that cane with steamed broccoli and it had fried okra. Both of us told tge waitress we did not have any silverware and she said she would get some. We each started with the okra and we both got stems stat we had to spit out. Still no silverware so I went inside, asked the hostess for some, he had one set and had to go into tge kitchen to get the 2nd. I could see several of them laughing when they handed him the silverware. Then we ate our meals, fair food, maybe a 2 or 3 out of 10. Never got a check so we left and I went to the bar to pay. They had to track down, Lili and then I had to get the salad charge of $4.00 removed. I paid the bill and tipped Lili 25% because she was not the problem. This restaurant had no manager that I could see and no adult supervision ir guidance. The bartender was the most seasoned person on deck and she was not helping anyone other than making drinks. We found out from a shop down the street that this restaurant is getting ready to close up permanently and it is understandable why. It was a nice place with the best setting in town and is no longer ran well or has even standard food. The owners should be ashamed of what they have done to run it into the ground."
