Ernest's Orleans Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge.

Food was expertly prepared just as ordered. Waitress was professional, attentive and helpful with menu. Valet was prompt and courteous. Will keep returning.

Found this place via OpenTable and was very impressed! Food was awesome, service had some much needed old school charm... you MUST try the Cafe San Pedro and one of the flaming desserts!

The service was amazing, all the waiters and waitresses were so polite. The food was so expensive and didn’t taste that great. I wouldn’t go again to pay $32 for chicken parm and it taste like that. View menu

Still the same neat nostalgia from years past. Food still superb, with overall great service, value and presentation. Our server could have been a little more attentive to our table, but was otherwise friendly and did a good job.

As soon as we walked into the doors at Ernest?s we felt very welcomed. The service here is accommodating and quick. The atmosphere felt quaint and romantic which was nice for an impromptu date night. The food was served hot and fresh, and was flavorful.

Amazing experience and food!!! Brandi was our server and she was phenomenal!! I didn’t catch the man’s name whose been there for 40 years… who prepared our flaming desserts… but he was amazing too!! All in all.. best place to eat in Shreveport, inmy opinion! View menu

A great place, Ernest has a great reputation in the area and it?s for a reason. Our waiter was an absolute doll, and he insisted several times there was no rush. Even accommodated the boyfriend in setting up flowers on the table for me for the date. It is on the pricier side for food around Shreveport and Bossier but absolutely worth it for the atmosphere and quality of it. It?s definitely a slower, relaxed service feel which I love (they?re not shoving you out the door). Alot of people are regulars so you may have to ask for a menu, but that was no issue either. It is also always recommended if you don?t see something you?d love to have to ask anyways because Ernest does go above and beyond...

After ALL the hype and over the moon excited to have a romantic dinner.....this would NOT be the case. Service was slow, 2 other tables were served, salads, drinks and entrees before we were served. Did I mention we were there before them? Plus we were NOT given a menu to order, we had to ask for a menu. Food was not up to par with all the hype we had experienced wanting and talking about going. The steak I was served was NOT what my husband ordered for me. It was smotheredin some sort of heavy sauce, drowning it! Staff appeared to not know very much what she was doing or what her position required. The saving grace for this experience was the piano player and singer. Magnificent job young m...

Never again. I am so embarrassed that such a ?historical? restaurant such as Ernest?s would employ some of the most lackadaisical and uninterested people I have ever had to encounter. Sadly, I have felt more welcome at McDonalds than this place. Hostesses are melancholy and for a lack of a better term, lazy and unhappy. We walked in, walked up to the hostess area and weren?t greeted at all. They looked at us, we said we were going to just sit at the bar and walked rightin. No words exchanged except for one of them saying ?okay?. The only saving grace was the bar staff they were engaging and acted as if they were happy to have our business. We decided to just have crab claws and a salad?.both... View menu
