The meat is perfectly tender and the topping is packed with so much flavor. We usually always get the fish special no matter what it is because is delicious every time. If you are looking for a dish that is both sweet and savory I highly recommend the airline chicken. The lasagna is also delicious! Really you can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. Every bite is wonderful!

I didn't expect to find authentic Italian food in Houma, and to say I'm pleasantly surprised is an…read moreunderstatement. The restaurant is set in a charming renovated white house, with an interior full of characters and art. The outdoor patio, strung with lights, felt cozy and inviting, like dining in someone's backyard. Service was excellent. Our server, Cortney, was cheerful, friendly and knowledgeable. She recited the whole menu and added personal touch The food was equally outstanding. Our favorite appetizers were chargrilled oysters, carpaccio, and Caesar salad. The foie gras, on the other hand, was weak compared to the other apps. My cioppino pasta was phenomenal, perfect texture and incredible flavors. Even the cocktails and desserts, lavender spritz and apple pie were amazing. The owner, Cristiano stopped by our table for a friendly chat and even offered us complimentary limoncellos. Hands down this is the best restaurant in Houma, and it would be top tier in Houston too. We'll definitely be back if visiting the area again.

What a delightful find!!…read more My wife's family is from Houma and if you are from the area, you know that the town is overrun with chain restaurants. We had seen Cafe Dominique driving by a few times downtown so we decided to have dinner there and are so glad that we did. Make no mistake; this place is not a casual dining place and not like any other place in Houma. No kids menu, no plastic utensils (or even cheap aluminum ones!), starched linen and beautiful table settings. It is pricey but worth it. The menu featured numerous upscale American dishes; rib eye steaks, crab ravioli, osso bucco, roasted chicken and all were delicious. We started with an appetizer of a local goat cheese encrusted with pistachios and served warm that was magnificent! We had more than enough for the both of us and the kids even ate some of it. My wife had the rib eye that was cooked to perfection and served with grilled asparagus and roasted potatoes. Steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and the grilled asparagus was out of this world; tender and tasty. I went with the Osso Bucco (special for the evening; they have specials each night) which was really delicious; tender and with a great tasting sauce. I was a little disappointed with the risotto that accompanied it but it was served with some of the great tasting asparagus as well so all in all, a solid dinner. The cafe is a little deceiving size-wise from the outside; looks small but once inside you can see about 3-4 different seating areas and also has a good size bar. Serve a wide variety of wines by the glass and beer by the bottle. Once the weather cools down, the outside patio will be in full swing! All in all a delightful dinner and a great find. Definitely more expensive than any other place you'll find in Houma but if tired of Copelands and the other chain restaurants, you'll be happy to eat at Cafe Dominique.

YOU NEED TO EAT HERE!…read more Party of 7, and EVERYONE was happy with their orders. Fantastic. Thinking of making the hour drive just to come back again on our trip. Drink: French greyhound. Perfectly balanced and super yummy Appetizers: fried green tomatoes and duck kebabs. Dinners: flatbread margarita, Korean rice bowl (the days special), pork belly and grits, skirt steak. I mean seriously, not only was the main protein of the meal good, every component side, garnish, sauce, was fab. We had already done two "traditional" Cajun /creole meals and were ready for a fresh break and 531 didn't disappoint. Don't let "cafe" make you think it's any less of a great spot. Also got to talk with the owner which was awesome and quaint.

Was expecting a bit more but it was okay. Next time I would skip and get a different side. Most locals seemed to order 1/2 pound of boiled seafood.
