    crème brûlée
    Imran S.

    we were celebrating a special occasion and had been to this restaurant a couple of years ago so decided to come back. the restaurant is beautiful both inside and out. it has a nice ambiance and beautiful vistas of the river. for starters we got the burrata and complimentary parker rolls were also provided. we also received ceviche compliments of the chef. the parker rolls were good, a bit sweet but nice. the burrata was good with nice flavor. we also got the gumbo, the french onion soup and chopped salad. the gumbo was good with good flavor and good chunks of seafood; it did come with potato salad instead of rice which was odd. the chopped salad was not good but the french onion soup was plentiful and very good. for the mains we got lasagna, the lent special redfish, carrots, creamed spinach, and another fish dish. the lasagna was good, the fish dish also good and the creamed spinach was good. the carrots were cooked well but bland and the lent special redfish also lacked flavor. for dessert we got the coffee and chicory creme brûlée which came with beignets on top. we asked for the beignets on the side and the dessert tasted better if you put the crème brûlée as a dip for beignets. overall, beautiful location and decent food. the service seemed a bit rushed as they were waiting for you to finish the first course to bring out the second and sometimes would hover when you are still eating. some dishes were a bit bland but others fantastic

    Amazing crispy oyster. It was so delicious. Definitely coming back to enjoy some drinks and some food.

    This is absolutely the number one restaurant in the state of Louisiana bar none. It is not only beautiful situated on the picture to the river in downtown Madisonville. It provides some Michelin quality food that cannot be compared to in New Orleans. It is superior. Especially the pork belly with the homemade steak sauce on top it's amazing.

    Where do I begin! We didn't expect the level of service we received! You walk in and go up the elevator to this beautiful restaurant. We were sat right away. Our servers were great. Very knowledgeable about the menu: wines, apps, entrees, all of it. We were brought out something by the chef, a delicious soup I hope becomes a part of the menu! Everything was delicious. It was not what we were expecting at all! At first I felt underdressed (seeing the staff in full dress, vest and tie included) and then I felt overdressed (seeing a man in a tshirt and jeans). I think the typical restaurant attire is fine. We were blown away, by all of it! Will definitely be back!

    Easter brunch was amazing! Had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful waterfront restaurant for Easter Sunday and the 3 course meal was delightful. They even had the Easter bunny walking around taking pics. Highly recommend

    Great service with a waterfront view, elevated dining experience. We enjoyed everything from apps to dessert. Just an FYI, the cinnamon roll is NOT a pastry, it is pork belly rolled into the shape of a cinnamon roll - very tender and really good flavor!

    We popped in for lunch right as it opened, and staff was very accommodating. We have two young kids and they were kind with offering them some fresh sorbet to try! Food was delicious and ambience was beautiful. Great views! Kids enjoyed their time

    LUMORA - Buffalo Chicken Pinsa at Lumora

    LUMORA

    (40 reviews)

    Today, we enjoyed a Valentine's Day lunch at Lumora Kitchen and Bar in Covington. Lumora is…read morerelatively new and is by the same folks responsible for The District in Ponchatoula, which is one of our favs. Located on Highway 190, Lumora has a stylish, contemporary persona that is decidedly upscale, but still possesses a comfortable, laid-back vibe that is quite appealing. Service was friendly and efficient and Taylor took excellent care of us. General Manager Josie dropped by our table to share info on Lumora and her visit was appreciated. There is a full bar and a wide selection of specialty cocktails. Today I had a Blood Orange Mezcal Margarita and my wife had an Ex-Presso Martini. Both were great! I highly recommend the Mezcal spice served up on the Margarita's rim in place of the standard salt. We then enjoyed the Zydeco Eggroll appetizer, which the pepper jelly garnish made truly memorable. I then followed with the Buffalo Chicken Pinsa and my wife had the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pinsa. Both were excellent; hot, pleasantly spicy, and generously portioned. We took home a lot of food. Although we had no room for dessert, several on the menu looked quite sumptuous. In short, Lumora Kitchen and Bar is highly recommended! It's a great spot for lunch, happy hour drinks, or a special date night. We will return.

    The food was delicious,except the bacon wrapped shrimp under cooked. Unfortunately, the service…read morewas incredibly bad and really took away from the experience. We were a table of 7, ordered appetizers, and were brought the check immediately after--before anyone ever asked if we wanted entrees or dessert. It felt extremely rushed and unwelcoming. The servers were rude, inattentive, and made us feel like they just wanted us out of there. To make matters worse, we were overcharged, and my credit card was run before I was even shown the final bill, which is completely unacceptable. Great food, but the service needs serious improvement. Sadly, that alone would keep me from returning. Disappointed coming from southshore for Christmas dinner.. owner of this restaurant, really needs to get with his staff!
