    Pasta St John
    Andrea P.

    I had the Pasta. St John and it was fabulous! The cream sauce was light. Great combination of chicken, sausage, mushrooms, and bell peppers. This place has a quaint and elegant dining room and super friendly staff!

    Shrimp Panne was delicious. I got it to-go, but only because I had limited time available. I will definitely return.   Thanks!

    One of Laplace's oldest restaurants with style. There is a full service bar and a professional wait staff. Plus, there are huge big screen TVs for watching sports. I Enjoyed my time there.

    My food was swimming in grease and the bread pudding was burnt.

    My Sever was nice and the food was nicely put but I ended up getting sick from all the grease I consumed.

    Steak baked tater and vegetables very good

    Wait staff was very attentive I ordered the calamari as an appetizer it came really fast. And was hot and tasted perfect . I got the 14 ounce sirloin medium rare had garlic butter on top and a baked potato and it came with vegetables I didn't want to eat. But lawd let me tell you steak was perfect baked tater well you can't mess it up it was perfect now let's got to the vegetables it was green beans squash carrots and zucchini. I don't like zucchini but I eat every bit of it the vegetables we very good all in all my experience at this restaurant was absolutely flawless I left full and happy. I couldn't of asked for a better meal. Honestly there is nothing to complain about. If I had it to do all over again I'd get the same thing and eat every bit of it.

    Fried calamari with marinara sauce

    Walking in location has an old feel to it...could use updating. Immediately greeted and seated. Food was really good for Laplace. My husband got Chicken Parm and found the sauce to be watery, could have been from the pasta not being strained long enough. I enjoyed the calamari and the shrimp Alfredo. Portion sizes are very nice! Food has potential to be awesome. Tables would be nice with some fresh flowers on the table and better lighting. Will come back and try lunch.

    Cooked to perfection!!  8 oz filet with portobello mushroom balsamic Demi glacé.

    The only negative is the decor, it is outdated. Food was wonderful. I am a good snob and they did an excellent job. We tried this place last year and it was not good at all. Today they redeemed themselves. They managed to cook a thin ribeye for my husband with such a beautiful crust and it was a perfect medium rare. My filet, shown in the picture, was so tender and flavorful. My baked potato was fluffy and hot all the way through; not one cold spot nor raw spot. Thanks for a wonderful meal.

    My husband and I were greeted immediately upon entering. Our waitress was nice. I ordered wine and my husband ordered a beer. We also ordered our appetizer at this time. My husband received his beer, I had to ask for my wine, and received it well after our appetizer. We had to ask for utensils, which we received well after our appetizer, because she didn't come back to check on us for about 5 min. However, the appetizer was good, not great, but good. My husband had shrimp St Charles and I had the Chicken Picata not pasta, extra veggies, add mushrooms. The food was very bland. Tasteless. I had to add lemons to my Picata. If you know anything about Picata, you know it's a lemon wine sauce with capers and it full of flavor. Over all, I would not recommend this establishment. I wouldn't eat here again.

    Menu! I had the Petra pasta and it was soo good! Plenty sauce and FULL of crab, crawfish, and shrimp!

    Really great service and food. Atmosphere is a bit dated so some may see this as a miss, I think it adds to the charm.

    Petra is a great Laplace restaurant that goes unnoticed. The food is always very good, portions are plentiful and the prices are reasonable.

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.

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!
