    This is a hidden gem in downtown Cincinnati. Fantastic ambiance, incredible food and wonderful staff/service. We wish we had found Laveau sooner and we cannot wait to go back again! Make a reservation and get yourself down here.

    Our reservation was delayed due to some unexpected kitchen/behind the scenes stuff but they were very nice, prompt and gave us a cocktail on the house which was a thoughtful touch. Our server was great and most of the food was very very good. The salt in the jambalaya was a lil extra but otherwise also very good. I'd rather say the food was 4.5 stars but half stars are not an option. All in all, a very nice experience.

    First time visit and had great experience. Had a fantastic Sazerac cocktail from the skilled bartender to start. Got a cozy booth in the fun themed dining area. Menu had interesting Cajun and creole choices. Food was good. Staff super friendly. We will plan to come back.

    If you like cajun, the food was great. We had gumbo and shrimp and grits. Also, it is a very nice ambiance.

    The food was great- and the portions were huge! We went on a Thursday when there was a live jazz band and they were great too!
