    Frozen margaritas
    Alexis C.

    Ordered 2 frozen margaritas at the bar, prickly pear and blueberry on a Monday afternoon. *Drinks NOT INCLUDED for HH* only food HH 2-5pm at the bar! Stopped for a frozen drink since the daiquiri shop across the hall was closed during the week. Even though the environment was dry and empty our server catered to our cravings and even recommended favors for our margs, she also offered to go cups so we may return to the casino w our drinks. the margaritas are small for the price but my cravings for a frozen cocktail was satisfied.

    Chipotle Adobo Wings
    Donna W.

    Not many places to eat inside L'Auberge and this was a must try for us. My husband is a fan of Aaron Sanchez. Unfortunately, it's a Tuesday so we were only able to have bar food. The waitress was very sweet and attentive. Looked like she was taking care of all the tables. Bartender must have been having a bad night. The food was bar food and not great bar food. The chips and salsa was good. The queso was thick but tasty. The chicken wings were unseasoned, deep fried and drenched in adobo sauce. The steak on the nachos was overdone. The drink I had was really good but I don't recall what it was called.

    9/11/2025: After my recent 4 night 5 day stay in the L'Auberge casino, I made an observation. No casino restaurants, unless high end, are that great. They know you will have to eat and probably don't want to leave the property, so there's no real incentive for them to be on their A game. Johnny Sanchez is no exception. We ate there twice during our stay. Why? Because it was convenient. Although the waitresses both times were nice, the service was snail slow. The tea tasted off because I think their water is not filtered. The food is bland. The options are good for breakfast, lunch, and sharables, but the food itself was subpar. I wouldn't have complained a bit if the speed of the service was at least quick. Not a fan of waiting in a super freezing cold restaurant.

    Queso fundido
    Mary D.

    Today we went in and had chicken tortilla soup and crawfish grilled cheese. The service was great, Maleja was our waitress service was great. She was prompt at refilling our waters. The ambience was nice during lunchtime. Hats off to the chef excellent crawfish grill cheese sandwich toasted perfectly. I was also there two days ago. Melinda was my server. She was great. I ordered the queso fundido. I wasn't pleased with the first order. It had more onions than cheese or chorizo. Melinda took it back and replaced it with a perfect one. great service. Conner seated us and he's just a busybody and a hard worker as well. Gracias

    Fried shrimp, fried catfish, fries
    Orquidea R.

    Convenient restaurant and bar located on the lobby of the L'Auberge Hotel and Casino. Great selection of drinks and varied menu. I ordered one night the fried catfish, fried shrimp, fries and coleslaw platter which doesn't show the price anywhere but on my check at the end was $25. Well they didn't bring me the coleslaw but the server didn't notice it either and by the time I was trying to see if she'd come my way again. I already had eaten most of my food. Overall good food and portions, however will servers are friendly, service is slow at the bar area at least.

    Cold!! Nice service good people I really recommend this place don't ask for sausage not worth it

    Dinner Menu
    Michelle M.

    I stopped in here for dinner with a friend on Saturday night. Luckily, there were a few tables available so we were seated right away. We ordered the Crispy Brussels Sprouts for an Appetizer, he ordered the Tio's Chili Enchiladas plato, and I ordered the Carnitas Style Pork Shank with Street Corn Polenta for my Main. The Brussels Sprouts were pretty good, especially with the jalapeño vinaigrette which gave just the perfect amount of acidity and sweetness and wasn't spicy at all. He said the Enchiladas were the best tasting he had ever had, but they were super rich and even though 4 were served on the plate, they were smaller than average. The Pork Shank was so huge that I felt like I was served a personal size pork roast. The Polenta was tasty and creamy and I ate every bite, but I definitely had to get a to go box for the Shank. The Pork Shank was okay, but I felt like the char on the exterior was a tad on the over done side. I would definitely eat here again and try more things on the menu which I found interesting and not just filled with the standard Tex Mex fare.

    Birthday Celebration!

    Oh no.....shame. Closed except bar service outside. Bartender made two of three drinks wrong and no garnish. C'mon.... My cauliflower tacos were good, but both burgers were dry enough for tumbleweeds to gather. Could do much better. NOLA location was much better. Seemed like very little care here.

    App Trio. Plenty for four. We three had plenty to takeaway.
    Cajun Timothy S.

    We chose dinner service for early Mother's Day celebration. Everything including the food was bright, colorful, cheerful, and fresh. We were greeted with smiles at reception. Gracie was superb and 'on it.' She anticipated needs well and made fantastic recommendations. We enjoyed the app trio (house-made chips, salsa rojas, guac, and queso); street corn; Brussels sprouts; chili con carne; pulled pork and also fried cauli street tacos. We'll be back.

    A cold ribeye

    First visit, Happy Hour $5 House Margaritas were good. Bar Service was slow and they were not busy. Ordered chips and salsa with cheese, salsa was very good. Over shadowed by the slow service. Went back to try dinner two hours later and and they were busier with only one bartender for entire restaurant and bar, service terrible this time too with a new shift on. Ordered the Ribeye and it was cold but it was cooked as ordered - medium. Decorations were nice, restaurant area was loud.

    Breakfast Club
    Tina E.

    Food was spot on. I got the breakfast club sandwich and it was perfectly made and so tasty. I also wanted a little sweet and since they won't let you order a single pancake I ordered a whole stack (I really wish they would let you order a single one). Breakfast potatoes were perfect. I know that's rare (really rare), but they were exactly the way they're supposed to be cooked. Soft and warm in the middle and crispy on the outside.

    grilled sprouts. Fantastic food!

    Villa Harlequin - Best lasagna not super heavy with pasta has right balance of meat and sauce

    Villa Harlequin

    This is definitely going on the date night list!…read more The Scene Villa Harlequin gives a more upscale, intimate dining experience - the vibe feels both classic and local at the same time. It's the kind of place you go for a nice dinner, date night, or when you just want to slow down and enjoy a full meal. The Eats We started with drinks - my husband had The Italiano, which was smooth and well-balanced, and I went with a Hedges Family Wine, which paired nicely with dinner. For the meal: My husband had a house salad and the pan-seared fish, which was cooked well and complemented by the kind of rich, flavorful sauces they're known for. I went with the wedge salad and the surf & turf, and listen...this is where they shine. The surf & turf is a standout - steak paired with seafood and a bold, flavorful sauce that leans into that fusion they're known for. Everything came out well-prepared, plated nicely, and felt like a complete dining experience rather than just a quick meal. The Service Service was attentive and polished without being overbearing. Drinks stayed filled, courses came out at a comfortable pace, and the staff made sure everything flowed smoothly. It matched the overall feel of the restaurant - thoughtful and consistent. Parting Thoughts Between the cocktails, the wine, and standout dishes like the surf & turf, it delivers a well-rounded experience. Definitely a solid choice for a nice night out in Lake Charles - and one I'd return to when I'm in the mood for something a little more elevated.

    The wedge salad was excellent. The Blue Cheese dressing was the best I've tasted…read more I also had the tomato soup with crab. It was very good as well!! The pasta with shrimp was just okay. I would have thought bread would be provided but it was not. Had to purchase separately. I'll definitely go again for the salad and soup.
