Wine Country Bistro - Shreveport

My friends and I gathered to attend a fundraiser for the Salvation Army and to have one last hurrah at the Weinland Bistro, which was in its final week of service. For fans of their famous burnt ends, they may be able to find them in the future through related companies Southern Fork Catering and Parish Taceaux. Some of the employees may also be working there. My recommendation is to visit the beautiful terrace during happy hour this week to enjoy some drinks and reminisce before they close for the last time on Saturday, June 15th.

Excellent restaurant. They have a great and varied menu. Service was outstanding. Fried Oyster Caesar Salad was outstanding. Don't miss it!

Service and food was great. Would definitely do brunch again.

Mediocre. Service was good but food was so so. I had salmon with whipped potatoes and asparagus. The potatoes were worse than the boxed kind, the asparagus was just ok. Salmon was ok. My husband had a tenderloin which he said wasn’t that great. Sorry, we wanted to like it. This is the third time we’ve been disappointed, the other 2 times were for brunch. It’s such a lovely place that it’s a shame the food is just mediocre. I guess others must feel the same way because we were the only ones there except one party of about 12.

The service was great, the bar was great, the atmosphere was nice. This place really lacks on its execution of food and cooking techniques. Everything we ate (with the exception of the cheese plate) was fell overwhelmingly short especially when considering price. My husband ordered the special (Mahaffey pork chop and corn soup) and I ordered the yellow tuna, as that was recommended by the barkeep. The porkchop was giant and very under seasoned. The vegetables served were not cohesive and it was almost puzzling to the taste buds. Just bland and unexciting. The corn soup tasted like Pace Pincante with some corn thrown in. VERY much a tomato salsa like soup with corn added. Let me preface that I am well versed with fish and know how tuna is normally prepared: what was served to me was either frozen tuna, or tuna that was not very fresh. It had a very fishy taste and odd texture, almost grainy. I ordered it medium rare and it appeared to be cooked accordingly, but the meat didn't look like any tuna I have ordered. I literally ate one bite and did not continue. The restaurant is in a great location and would be amazing if they could find some talented chefs. Everything served was subpar and overpriced. It was a really big let down.
