Going up to LSU for family weekend and looking for a nice seafood restaurant to take the family to on Saturday evening. Only place I've been is Mike Anderson's, but I'm sure it will be packed due to family weekend and being the weekend right after Valentine's Day. Looking for a place that takes reservations since I assume most will be crowded.

I was really looking forward to trying Mansur's, but I tried to book a reservation online and nothing is available Saturday night. Any recommendations on that level that take reservations?

Going to be tough on Valentine's weekend. Parrians is good and near LSU but I'm not sure if they take reservations.

I have been there before and there was an 1.5-hour wait, but the bar area is first come, first serve, and there is a door on the right side of the bar that leads to a rear porch that is also first come, first serve. This area has a number of tables and it was easy to get a table, even for a group.

Usually, on busy weekends, I try to eat at an off-peak time, like 4:00 in the afternoon.

We’re hitting the LSU baseball game for family weekend, so by the time we finish that, go back to the hotel, shower, etc,, we’re looking at 7:00-7:30ish. Looks like Juban’s and Ruffino’s also have nothing around that time, so I guess we’re giving Mike Anderson's a shot and hoping we can get a table without too long of a wait.

Have you tried calling the places or just looking online, I have had considerable success with calling when the website says booked?

Roberto's might be slowing down at that time and has really good seafood. No reservations but you might give them a call and see when they are slowing down.

I’m taking Roberto’s over Mike Anderson’s every day of the week, but just know it is outside of BR

The scenic drive over will burn enough time to reduce any wait for a table.

I always call. I can’t remember using online reservations.

Ruffinos has been doing fish very well lately. But I find Louisiana Lagniappe by 8 is pretty quick to get in. By the time OP gets there, one glass of wine in the bar and he’s sitting down. And it’s the best seafood in town.

Thanks. Gave Mansur’s a call and they were able to give us a 7:30 reservation in the lounge area.
