Nice Restaurants in Shreveport

My wife's business partner is coming in town in a couple of weeks. He's from Chicago, so we were hoping to take him somewhere nice that has good cajun food. The only places we could think of were Ernest's, Ralph & Kacoo's, and Copeland's. The latter two are chains, and I haven't been to Ralph & Kacoo's in so long, I don't even know that it's good any more.
Got any other suggestions????

Another reminder of why I don't live in Shreveport.

Columbia Cafe (Kings and Columbia) - Menu changes and has been known to serve all sorts of game birds, rabbit, and various fish. Unique atmosphere and several, several imports.
Bella Fresca (Line Ave by Superior) - Quaint place and menu changes often. Great wine selection.
Olive Street Bistro (Olive by Line Ave) - Good Italian eatery with excellent fish. Good wines.
The Vintage (inside of Hollywood Casino) - A steak and drinks sort of place...very good crab and solid steaks. Good bartenders (was 2 years ago anyway).
Ernests's (top of the hill on Market St) - Best marinated clabclaws anywhere. Good LA seafood atmosphere.
The Cub (Kings and Youree) - No, not the bar (walk into the restaurant from the bar). The Cub has the best steak in Shreveport and awesome Au'gratin potatoes. About 20 peersons is all the restaurant can hold, so get there early. Afterwards, go have a beer and a shot from Carey.
* any of the above will surely have 1-2 cajun dishes. In any event, don't let that dictate a good meal.

Superior Steakhouse, Wine Country Bistro, Olive Street Bistro, Mabry House Restaurant, Vintage Steakhouse
...For "Cajun" food, you're usually not going to find many "nice" restaurants...However out of those Ernest's, Wine Country and Superior are probably your better options for a couple cajun dishes.

Definitely good food, but wouldn't classify it anywhere near nice...Good place to eat then get drunk afterwards, though.Posted on 6/15/09 at 4:45 pm to CarRamrod

This would be my number one choice.

There are NO good Cajun places in Shreveport. I'm a Cajun from New Iberia and have lived here for 40 years. Shreveport does NOT do Cajun. But there are many good places to eat.
L'Italiano in Bossier City is the best. Small, hole in the wall place run by real Italians who barely speak English.

I started to say Pancho's or Johnny's,,,, but I couldn't bring myself to do it!

Thanks for all the input. You've confirmed what my wife and I thought... there's not much to choose from as far as LA fine dining around here.

What's a good place for seafood in Shreveport?
I've been here for 4 weeks and I'm dying for some seafood.

You'd have to go down to South LA for some really good seafood. Earnest's has some pretty good dishes, but they're expensive. Other than that, Ralph and Kacoo's is ok.

No it isn't. It went way downhill by the mid 90's. There are far better places to get seafood than this place...even in Shreveport.

Don't worry, your Jew-Fro and skinny jeans wouldn't get you in to the good places, anyway.

Correct.
We went to Ralph and Kacoos about 6 months ago. There were 8 in our party and each had a different dish. All 8 said their meal was horrible.

I've been told the 4 Winds-I think that's the name-is great. It's the Oriental restaurant inside the Horseshoe.

The Village. You will get a better meal and steak than any place in Louisiana hands down. Be prepared to bring some $$$ though.
