    Duck egg rolls
    Kristina M.

    Aperitif was DELICIOUS!!! To start, the staff were incredible. So attentive, very personable, made our experience even better. Start with some lovely cocktails followed by an incredible spread of apps and mains. Cannot wait to go back and indulge again!

    We enjoy spending a night or two every now and then in Old Mandeville as a quick get away. We were at Dons and the bartender strongly recommended we try Aperitif for dinner, so we decided to try. It was around 6pm on a Thursday and we didn't have reservations, but they did seat us quickly. It got very busy very fast so I would recommend making reservations, I think we just got lucky. We were both dressed very casual in tees and shorts, everyone else was more business casual. I was comfortable but would dress a little nicer next time. We each ordered a spritzer - black berry and lemonchello they were very refreshing. As an appetizer we very much enjoyed the Pork and Duck Spring Rolls, so good I'd almost order the by myself for dinner. For our entire we split the pork loin, we told them we were splitting and they were kind enough to serve divided into two plates, the half portion was perfect considering we were saving room for dessert. Speaking of which - we shared the espresso over ice cream and decadent cheesecake. We will make Aperitif a part of our Northshore rotation next time we are back, yes it was that good.

    Crabmeat gnocchi

    This was our first time here and we will be back!! To start, we got the crabmeat gnocchi which was very creamy and had a good amount of crabmeat it in. For our entrees, we got the chicken piccata, which we were told was just added to the menu, and the burger!! Both were excellent!! The chicken was paired nicely with a Brie orzo and lemon butter sauce. The burger had Brie cheese as well and was paired with a smoky ketchup. Get the truffle fries also!! For dessert we got the Apertif press!! We got it stuffed with homemade vanilla gelato. It was delicious!! The donut was warm with a cold gelato in the middle!! We will be back to try their cocktails and more!! Our waitress was great and super knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. We loved the location on the lakefront and hope to be able to sit outside as it gets warmer!

    I have wanted to try this place since it opened. I do not know what took me so long... I even live in the Neighbourhood! I love the ambience. The food is divine! The music was just right. It was nice, soft music, not loud and overpowering. Could still have a conversation . The waitstaff- very attentive - definitely going back!! Perfect Saturday lunch~ did not have a cocktail, but the food is top notch. We also got the heirloom tomato appetizer and I was so excited to get it that I forgot to take a picture ~ so delicious.

    Of course, who wouldn't love the location - on the Lakefront in Mandeville! Great interior. Excellent food choices. It was actually hard to decide what to order because they offered so many yummy choices. I settled on the duck. My friends had the soft shell crab and appetizers. We were all very happy. The portions were very large and well prepared. Amazing service. Another great new restaurant in Mandeville. No longer a need to cross the bridge or go into Covington for great food!

    Wow this place has it all! It has the location and beachy like atmosphere with great views of the lake! It has incredible service, sort of fancy like. And it had great food and drinks! Bravo! We came here just for apps and drinks as we hopping from place to place on the Northshore. We did not have a reservation and we were there early enough that it was not crowded just yet, there was no one sitting outside where it overlooks the lake, but it was a bit hot so we sat at the bar. The bartender greeted us with a friendly smile. We ordered the flatbread app and martini espresso. The flatbread was not an ordinary flatbread dish, like I was expecting. The flavors all magically came together and this dish was really elevated. There was a BBQ sauce that was not your typical BBQ sauce, it was light, had a sweetness to it, and barely a drizzle on the fresh ingredients. The jalapeno lime crema also marinated the flavors of the pork and Tasso together, making each bite so satisfying. Even the bread was not tough or chewy; it had a nice soft texture and perfect way to serve all those ingredients together. This place was one of our favorites for our stay on the Northshore. Everything here as top notch and great!

    Tuna

    Had a wonderful pre-birthday meal at this awesome dining venue. The champagne we chose for our celebration was awesome. The owners were so attentive and made us feel so special! The tuna app was awesome. We had scallops and shrimp with the lobster special. Also chicken francese with the lobster special. Our waiter Grant was just so attentive and awesome!

    Arancini and truffle fries
    Brittany B.

    We had a great time on our girls night! We loved the cocktail menu; they had something for everyone. Also, the arancini appetizer was amazing, and the mahi mahi was absolutely delicious. The food was also presented beautifully. We ended the meal with the creme brûlée and chocolate torte... some of the best desserts we've had on the Northshore. The only criticism is that it took a while to put in our initial drink order, but we also arrived at a very busy time. Our server was very nice. We will definitely be back, and we are planning to make it a triple date night with our husbands.

    Crab

    This is bar-none the best food in Mandeville. My wife and I visited this evening and were told it was a 45 min wait. We were enjoying sitting outside on the patio looking at the lake for a couple of minutes and the (I'm assuming) owner came out. We told him we couldn't get a table and he said - hold on, no problem and we were immediately seated. That said, the dinner was excellent. I had the Praline Crusted Salmon .. wow, it was the best I've ever eaten! Superb! My wife had the Softshell Pontchartrain - excellent also. Dessert was the bread pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I have a new favorite restaurant!!

    delicious Italian wine!

    This is exactly the kind of bar my wife and I have been looking for since we moved here from…read moreSouthern California a couple years ago. My wife and I decided to grab lunch in historic Mandeville today, and rolled by this bar on our way home so we decided to stop in for a quick drink. And we're glad we did. Let me start off by saying that California has a "dive bar" culture. Despite what most people see on TV about the glamorous night life in Los Angeles, that's not 99% of SoCal. And to be perfectly honest, I think it's kind of funny how bougie the north shore pretends to be. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of nice and seemingly upscale establishments to visit around here so I'm not trying to offend anyone. But sometimes you just want to grab a drink in a place that's not full of pretentious people who are trying too hard. We all live in a glorified swamp, people. Accept it. Very simply: a good pour, good music, friendly patrons, and good service. That's really all that matters. And the best part is that this place doesn't have the weird hours that a lot of the places around here do. Seriously, who's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays? Do better, North Shore. Jokes aside, this is a cool, chill little bar in a great part of town.

    Low prices, great happy hour and the best staff [bartenders around]…read more The Staff wants to know your name and invite you back. Great place to come hang out! Put a "Dollar on the wall"

    Interference is a Mandeville dive bar…read more I am on a quest to go to new bars. Normally this quest takes place in New Orleans, but last night it brought me to Interference. I pass this bar nearly every day and have always wondered how it was, but never stopped in. I was a tad overdressed since I was coming from La Provence, but I didn't care. The bar is pretty well lit for a dive. They could probably have turned out 3/4 of the lights to make it more divey. There was a pool table and a very long shuffleboard table. Shuffleboard in bars is an excellent concept. I never had been to a bar in Nola with shuffleboard, but this is the second Northshore bar with a table that I know of. The bar is very long and lined with bar stools. Above the bar there were four TVs all tuned to sports. The area next to the shuffleboard table has around 10 or so tables and chairs which was a nice place to sit and drink. There is also an area for a band, but there wasn't a show last night. The crowd was mixed. I was the best dressed, but it ran the gamut from young tattooed service industry folks to old dudes wearing LSU gear. The bartender was young, attractive and friendly. I ordered poorly (Fancy Lawnmower-nasty), but they did have a decent selection of other drafts (maybe 4-5). There was a Guinness draft sign, but I did not confirm that they had an actual draft. In summary, interference is a sports themed dive. It was too bright, but I'll be back.

    This is the place for drinking drinking and more drinking! HEAVY pours…read more After midnight we start howling at moon.
