Very accommodating guide. It would have been nice to have a German translation.

Great atmosphere and delicious food. I live near The Dixie Cafe and the food is consistently good. Perfect for a Sunday brunch.

Went for a work lunch with a large group, since the buffet is an easy choice. The food was pretty solid, not a ton of options, but a decent variety (not for vegetarian folks have to say!) The staff was super accommodating so I don't want to knock their service, they were fantastic. The room itself is beautiful but it is SO LOUD. Like, I could barely carry a conversation with the person next to me loud. It was honestly just a lot. I don't think I'd go back unless I was there touring the property (and didn't want to splurge for the fancier restaurant). The grounds are stunning, and there's a lot to do on site, I do want to go back and see the rest.

Absolutely stunning property. Atmosphere, service and food were all wonderful. A small walk over bridge and you'll be overlooking a beautiful lake. Houmas House, Houmas Museum and Dixie Cafe are definitely worth the visit.

This is one of my favorite local plantations. Not only are the tours great but the property itself is gorgeous and it has a very cool bar (Turtle bar) and restaurants : The Carriage House (lunch, dinner, kid friendly, reservation's recommended), Latil's Landing (fine dining, reservations required), Dixie Cafe (breakfast, lunch, dinner, kid friendly, buffet, no reservations needed) I personally love getting a couple drinks at Turtle bar and walking around or/and taking a tour (they let you take your drinks in the tour!) This property is beautiful. There's a bridge you can walk across to see the Mississippi River as well, which I recommend! There's also an inn that you can stay in, and really enjoy the property for an extended time. If you don't stay here, they are open 7days a week!

We chose to come for Thanksgiving which we loved at the plantation. The stay overnight was not as great though. We chose a king suite but was under impressed by it. The room was much smaller than expected, had marks on the wall and had the smell of damp mildew. We had eaten the Thanksgiving meal at 12:30 which was fantastic however by dinner we were hungry again. When trying to eat on sight we were told that there was no room for us to eat anywhere on property. This was very disappointing because no one at anytime told us that this would be an issue. We would have booked far in advance if we were told that this was needed. Management completely didn’t plan properly and did a poor job at trying to accommodate anything. This is extremely disappointing and ruined our stay at the property. Due to rain we were not able to enjoy the grounds during the stay and while tying to simply get out of the room were told that there were no common areas that we could use to play a game or something. We ended up sitting in the small room during the rain. Overall the stay could have been amazing if proper planning by management was put in place to anticipate and be Sympathetic to guests staying on property during rainy days and holidays when nothing is open anywhere else
