Katie Downs is such a beautiful restaurant for any gathering. It is in the best location, right on the Ruston Waterfront, and the staff here are the absolute nicest. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need for a great meal, no matter the occasion.

I ordered a bowl of clam chowder & found it to be less than stellar.
The small, small amount of very tiny clam pieces & lack of creaminess left me wanting to help them by suggesting they rename it potato chowder as they were abundant.
Others in my group had the pizza & liked it.
