What an amazing experience with service, ambience and the exceptional flavors this restaurant…read moreoffers! Truly the biggest gem in Madisonville! We dined here late lunch/early dinner. The decor from street view of the restaurant is welcoming and yet, once you walk inside it gives you the artsy, modern & sophistication to another world. I was pleasantly surprised and admire this take in its art form. We ordered 3 plates to share, Calamari, Cevice Clasico, & Pulpo Anticuchero & a couple Pisco sours. Each dish was plated and cooked perfectly, especially the octopus. Octopus is usually overcooked in most establishments, but not here... it was melt in your mouth outstanding. I honestly can reorder those plates again for the next visit because they are actually that outstanding. They do have a speakeasy (upstairs) open on Friday's and Saturdays which is themed to Scarface and even have a connecting outside front patio lounge to that. Unfortunately they weren't open at the time, as we visited on a Sunday. But we still got a pretty cool tour by our awesome server. Needless to say, this place has won our hearts and we will be back to try more! Note: if all the parking spots are taken in front of the river, there is ample parking right behind the restaurant.

I guess the branzino father's days special made the day!! We sat at the bar and had the ceviche as app along with some Spanish brut to wash it down the proper way.. lol.. for entrees we tried the whole branzino fried fish, the wings and the ribs and all were amazing !! Sarah was our server and she was welcoming and chatty which we like in a waitress ! Restaurant was nice decorated and kept same vibe in downtown New Orleans .. we will definitely be back!

We ordered another bottle of wine, the most expensive, along with 3 more appetizers. The appetizers came out a little quicker. It took us 30 minutes for the check and to get the card back. It's a Friday, there is a cover band and it got pretty crowded. My problem is, there were 2 people serving and one of the servers, our server, is now bartending! There were 2 other people when we got there, who I assumed were the owners. 2 people can not handle a Friday night crowd on their own. Service was sloooooow. Atmosphere and food were very good. I actually felt bad for the servers. Shame on the management!

We stopped in for Sunday brunch on my daughters birthday and had another fantastic meal…read more I ordered the Louisiana Crabmeat Sardou, and it was outstanding. Think eggs Benedict with a Louisiana crabmeat twist. It starts with a buttery homemade biscuit topped with a whole artichoke heart, creamed spinach, a perfectly poached egg, hollandaise, and caviar. It's served with a generous portion of lump crabmeat and a side of potatoes. With so many rich components, I expected it to be heavy, but everything was surprisingly balanced. Every bite worked together, and it was an incredibly delicious dish. My wife ordered the French Dip, which was the brunch special, and she absolutely raved about it. The shaved ribeye was incredibly tender, the Gruyère added just the right richness, and the au jus was packed with flavor. My daughter, who considers herself a burger connoisseur, insists their Brunch Burger is the best burger she's ever had. She ordered it again today, and it only reinforced that opinion. I also tried the Golden Hour cocktail, and it may have become my new favorite. I highly recommend giving it a try. From the food to the service, everything was exceptional. Tchefuncte's continues to deliver one of our favorite brunch experiences, and we can't wait to stop in again the next time we're in the area.

We really enjoyed Tchefuncte's!…read more They have their own parking lot, so it made it very easy to get in and out. You just park, the go inside, and the restaurant is on the 2nd floor. The service was phenomenal! It was for an anniversary, and they made sure to tell us happy anniversary, and add it to a little sign that was left on our table. Now for the main part: the food. Fried Oysters and Pork Belly - very good, if you get this make sure you eat them together (that was our "best bite" for that serving). Wedge Salad - one of the best wedge salad's we have had. The blue cheese dressing was creamy (rather than chunky blue cheese). It had crispy shoestring onion strings that almost acted as the croutons. I loved every bite that included lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and bacon. Delmonico Steak - this was probably our overall favorite item. Just a great steak, and large enough for both of us to enjoy. Redfish - this was good, not great. Would probably try something else other than this if we went back. Tchefuncte Potatoes - they almost were like a twice baked potato (flavor wise), but they are super creamy and fluffy and then turned into a lightly fried ball. Good and very unique. Crème Brûlée - if you like crème brûlée then you will enjoy it here. A classic dessert that was delicious. And to top it all off, the ambiance was great. It is right on the water, and service was very attentive.

Like the other reviewer mentioned, hand crafted cocktails generally are out on drink menus for you to see what specialty type drinks they are offering. Not the case here. Last thing you want on a night out on the town, go into a bar where you're expecting high end, expensive spirits and specialty crafted cocktails, only to see Jose Cuervo and Jim Beam Make no mistake, the only thing that has changed in this bar is the sign.

We were greeted warmly when we walked in and seated quickly, and the service throughout the meal was top notch. Everyone who served us was incredibly kind and helpful. The interior relies pretty heavily on the lake views, but it's still a comfortable and inviting spot for dinner or a drink. For an appetizer, we tried the crabmeat gnocchi, which was absolutely delicious and something I'd happily order again. For entrees, we had the hamburger and the salmon. Both were very good, although the salmon was the standout and definitely something we'd come back for. The burger came with a salad that was extremely tasty, but it was served in one of the most frustrating bowls I've ever encountered in my dining life. It was basically like trying to eat out of a spinning top. Maybe that's part of the charm.. keeping you fully engaged in the dining experience. For dessert, we had the Aperitif Press with coffee gelato. Again, very tasty, although I thought the donut pastry was just missing a little something. Overall, we're very happy we tried Aperitif and will definitely be back. We'd recommend it to anyone, with one caveat: bring your best focus when attempting to eat the salad.

There was live music and the band sounded good without being too loud. We had the boudin balls for an appetizer. Pretty standard now on most Louisiana menus, but they were done right.

We were only staying the weekend in the Northshore and we visited here twice.

The place is fun too, they have all kinds of board games and plenty of seating. It is a large quaint house-like establishment and has some outdoor seats as well. The place was really clean and the staff were all accommodating and friendly. One was so sorry they had just run out of the Dubai flavoring for the coffee, but it was ok. They have quite a few flavors to choose from. They also serve a full breakfast here. The customers range from all ages and from families to singles. This little gem is doing everything right!
