We celebrated our anniversary tonight at Mr. Lester's Steakhouse and had a solid experience…read moreoverall. We started with the chargrilled oysters. They were just okay, the oysters themselves were on the small side and the bread served with them was a little tough. That said, they brought out a separate basket of house breads that were excellent. Fresh, warm, and worth the calories. For entrées, we ordered the sea bass and the 14 oz ribeye. The sea bass was very good and generously topped with crab meat, rich without being overpowering. The ribeye, though, was the star of the night. Perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and absolutely mouthwatering. Exactly what you expect from a proper steakhouse. Sides were creamed spinach and lyonnaise potatoes. Both were well prepared and complemented the meal nicely. For dessert we shared the crème brûlée, and as always, it delivered, smooth custard with that perfect crack on top. To top it off, they brought out a plate with chocolate-covered strawberries and a few other sweet treats, which was a nice touch and made the evening feel special. Overall, a very enjoyable dinner. The steak alone is reason enough to come back.

I haven't been to a lot of casinos, but this one seemed pretty average compared to the grand Lake Charles ones I've been to. The restaurant itself is very nice! We sat in the main dining area. The cigar room was a lot more lively in full and in a separate area behind separate doors. We went on a Friday around 8 PM and it was not packed at all. The crowds seemed a lot older like above 50s. They serve you an assortment of bread like focaccia, garlic bread, a muffin, and a cheddar/bacon croissant with dips so honestly, you don't need to order an appetizer! For entrées, my husband got the 12 ounce fillet with the garlic mashed potatoes, and I got the salmon with the same side. We got the half size mashed potatoes and they were the perfect size so I would stick with the half size portions for the sides! The food was very good. He got his steak medium rare, and it was extremely tender, but could've used more flavor. My salmon was extremely tender and very flavorful!! I didn't care for the asparagus side because it only had hollandaise on top and the asparagus themselves had no flavor. The garlic mashed potato side was very good though and so is the crab and corn bisque soup! They have a lot of desserts but they all seem to be very large portions so we opted out and they served us a small plate with a praline, chocolate covered strawberries, and petite fours as a complementary desserts! We had a lot of leftovers and they boxed your leftovers for you and put it in a bag. All in all we had a great experience. The service is top-notch. We are younger, so it just seemed like it was for an older crowd. The quality of the food is more high-end, so it is pricier! I don't think we will be returning, but it was nice to give it a shot! Also, the casino is not smoke free.

Much better than anything in New Orleans ! Just try it, please. My fav's here are the stuffed shrimp, fried shrimp in corn flour, corn grits, & the small filet mignon. Others are stuffed potato & bread pudding. Occasionally, their daily specials will be very good. Caveats; Arrive very early for Saturday supper. Father Vidrine's 4:00 Mass celebrations @ nearby Saint Martin de Tours Church are very popular; all of the folks arrive en-masse for supper right afterwards at 5:00PM.

I sampled the seafood gumbo, the crab cakes and the crawfish half and half. Gumbo was 7/10, crab cakes 9/10 and the crawfish half and half (half fried tails and half etoufee) The 24.95 half and half entree comes with no sides such as salad or veggies, etc. there were adequate fried tails, but the etoufee was probably 1/2 cup max over ALOT of rice, but you only get tails and etoufee and a lot of rice with that entree. The gumbo was good, if a little dark for my taste, but good. The crab cake was very good, I personally loved the bit of dill and bay leaves I tasted in it and the horseradish sauce made it even better. Bottom line, this is really the only game in town so they can charge what they want and will stay busy. Would have been awesome to have a lunch menu available. Our waitress was capable but really not much of a ray of sunshine on our travels through Franklin. We would go back in the future.

The nice restaurant ambiance is fantastic. Clean. Well decorated. However, the drinks were subpar. (I mean, worst old fashioned I've ever had. The lemon drop martini was just ok.) Our waitress seemed to rush us and didn't take our complaints serious when we mentioned that the drinks were watered down. I got the shrimp and grits. To me, they tasted burned. But maybe that's the French style? It wasn't creamy like I am used to. So, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt there. By BF got the fried catfish. It was good.
