“ It was our wedding anniversary & my 65th birthday, we decided to stay local and usually drive to New Orleans for special dinners. Tchefuncte’s was a delightful surprise. Our server Brandon was amazing and the whole staff was so attentive. We asked Brandon to give us wine pairing with each course, he did an excellent job. Everything we ate was delicious. We had the pork belly, turtle soup, surf & turf tartar. The chef sent out a wonderful little birthday dessert. If you want a five star dining experience this is definitely the place to go. Everything was PERFECT ! ”
“ Want the wow factor for eating out for lunch come here. From the time you arrive you greated by staff and service from then on is phenomenal. We tried the Gulf shrimp and grits as well as the Eggs Benedict. Both dishes were well presented and tasted wonderful. Alissa was our waitress and took care of all our requests. Mark Phillips even went above and beyond when one of guests made a trip to the restroom right before food arrived and offered to return her food to kitchen to keep warm until her return. Place is very elegant and relaxing with great view of river. You must try their Chocolate Mouse and Cheesecake. ”
“ The experience here was top tier! The ambiance was beautiful. The table arrangements were very intimate. The service was amazing, the staff was very polite and kind! Food was really good, a little bit of everything on the menu! Great spot for special occasions! ”
“ Started with the meatballs, top 2 I’ve ever had. Made of pork veal and beef. Crab beignets my wife had perfectly fried and great flavor. Short ribs were melt in your mouth, french onion soup, a little salty but good. Stick praline cake with homemade butter pecan icing best dessert I think I’ve ever tasted. Surprisingly beat LOLA for best dessert. Strawberry shortcake a bit basic but excellent for something light. We went for our anniversary really shocked they never did anything for us like GW Fins did in the past or other fine dining. Excellent service though will return. ”
“ We ate here for an early dinner on a Friday evening. Overall, our dinner was exquisite. The service was excellent, and all of the flavors were top-notch. We tried a number of selections from the menu include the scallops and miso sea bass. Both were cooked to perfection and tasted fresh and delicious. The highlight for me, though, were the crab cake and crab ravioli. The crab cake had to be the best I’ve ever had. The ravioli had an interesting sauce that complemented the dish well. The restaurant has a well-curated wine selection. After the meal, I spoke with a person who I assume was leading action on the floor - he seemed genuinely nice and interested in how we perceived our dinner experience. The food was not inexpensive, but considering the flavors and exceptional service, it made for a wonderful evening. ”
“ Wonderful experience from the moment we arrived. Our servers,Gabriel and Ruth were attentive without being intrusive. The food and drinks were delicious. We had three appetizers, all were great. For our main course, we had the prime rib and soft shell crab. Both were off menu specials for the night.The manager,Marcus,was very friendly and professional. ”
