    Always a pleasure eating at Tujague’s. The food is fresh and tasty and follows the Louisiana tradition of cooking. Especially delicious was the fish entree. It’s also remarkable that they generate a value priced wine list that is comprehensive and recognizable.

    The valentines dinner was great. We had a great server named Jeremy. Every table was taken but Jeremy was always there at the right time when we needed anything, and he was great at having conversation. If you get the chance ask for him! We were only suppose to have the table for an hour and a half, but we ended up staying two hours without realizing it. Im surprised that happened on Valentine’s Day with how crowded it was, but I guarantee he had part to play in that. Thank you Jeremy!

    An amazing experience from the moment we walked into the restaurant. We were met and greeted at the reservation desk by the manager Ian Turkmen, a led in a beautiful setting where Rickie (our waiter) guides us through a wonderful 3 course meal. There were 9 of us and you never know if all the entrees ill turn out right, they were perfect, and the baked Alaska at the end was to die for. Truly a great experience all around, also a great wine list!
