Latil's Landing - Darrow

Very nice experience in a wonderful atmosphere Food excellent Dessert can be improved But overall a must experience

The restaurant is located on the beautiful grounds at Houmas House. It’s a magical experience to enhance any occasion. The food is outstanding as is the service. LOVE THIS PLACE!

Absolutely fantastic Latil’s Landing and the Turtle Bar are precious Louisiana treasures!

We spent Christmas Eve night at Houmas House. We drove down Friday m Baton Rouge. The weather was perfect. The entire place was beautifully and tenderly decorated with a fabulous whimsy. We slowly walked the grounds taking pictures and talking with other holiday revelers. Then we stopped in the Turtle Bar for a couple rounds of French 75s. Then strolled around the live oaks and fountain to the entrance to Latil’s at the main house. We ate upstairs next to a fireplace at a lovely table. A Prix Fixe menu of 3 or 5 courses with or without wine pairings. My wife did 3 and I did the 5. Boudin ravioli with foie gras. Oh my. Curried pumpkin crawfish and corn soup. Again, wow. Lump crab on house made mozzarella and tomatoes, perfect. Sorbet course of cranberry. Then I had the rack of lamb with blackberry coulis and sweet potato purée. My wife the Wagu filet (which was astounding). Wine pairings were perfect. Gently getting to know the other guests, and the really sweet and informed staff made the evening very special. The desserts were a bit heavy and large. Given Christmas Eve we would have liked something a little lighter after a big dinner. Maybe perfect Christmas cookies or similar treats would have been great. But this is a very small criticism. We think we discovered a new annual tradition. Then afterwards we strolled the gardens in all the lights and decor back to our car. Wonderful evening.

They were so helpful and gracious! Dinner was perfect and the food delicious! It’s where we were married and returning for our anniversary was very special to us! We live it here!!!!
