The Alexandria girl from the Bachelor was at Bellino's last night.

It's probably the best dinner cooking in Cenla.

Also love Tunks.

My last two tips to Verona were really good. Both the salmon and snapper were as good as any fish I have ever had.

Tunks is the most consistent restaurant in America.

It is what it is, but it is always the same. I enjoy it but hate driving out there and back after a couple drinks

I didn't know we had a celebrity in our town I hope the paparazzi left her alone so she could enjoy her chicken pomodoro.

If you got room for 6600 calories in your diet, there is nothing better.

Ive been getting their steak almost exclusively, the best steak in town.

I went to a wedding reception at the Bentley Hotel. The food at the reception was very good, but we didn't eat in the restaurant. How is it?

There was a restaurant across the street from the Bentley that looked busy called Embers or something like that.

Went for brunch not that long agao. Menu looked awesome. No one thought any of it was awesome.

Embers
It's not a favorite of mine, but lots of people like it. Foot likes it. The pizza is as good or better than Wildwood.

Embers is good. Not “dress up fancy” good but the food is solid.

Trunks is crap. I have never had a good experience there. The service is good but the food has been sub par all 5 times I have been there. I won’t go back.

I've been twice for dinner with my dad after the older version of the Bentley restaurant turned into Bistro on the Bayou.

It was okay. Nothing remarkable or offensive and it wasn't so expensive that you'd complain about it. Certainly nothing you'd go back for either.

I like Ember's Five Pepper Pasta quite a bit if you happen to get up there.

Waffle House, get the triple scrambled with grits, toast and jelly.

It's fantastic.

M friend went to a rehearsal dinner at Tunks. Both he and his mom said the food was horrible.

Tunks fried food is just fine for a Louisiana restaurant, nobody should go there expecting a fine dining experience

Diamond grill is solid



Spirits as as good a casual restaurant as any place on Louisiana.
Just a good spot.
Good music, good beer selection and good food.

Last time I went to Veronas the roaches in the bathroom did not even run when I walked in. Grabbed the wife and headed out. Can’t go back after that.

Plantation Manor has a fantastic fillet mignon for $7.

I go there for all my formal dances.

They also don't mind if you sneak in a little bottle of bourbon to slip in your coke.
