When I checked out I was charged a pet cleaning fee for my service dog which was not supposed to be charged.

This venue is located just about 25 miles West of Monroe, LA. I attended a wedding here while I…read morewas visiting family in the area. It is a little off the "beaten path" but not too hard to find if using a GPS. The parking area is strictly in a dedicated area located in a grassy area next to the dirt/rock road, so you may want to be dropped off directly near the venue which is paved versus walking from the designated parking area if you are not wearing adequate shoes. The venue has an extensive outdoor area (weather and temperature permitting-Louisiana peeps will now what I mean, lol) for almost any type of event, party or get together such as a family reunion or even a company Christmas party. They have (2) outdoor smokers if you want to cook your own food, they have a bar setup as well. They have table and chairs so you do not have to rent your own to bring to the venue. If you want both a elegant feel & a country feel this is the place for you. It gives you the best of both worlds. Also, the inside venue does have A/C for those Louisiana summers that will melt you ....LOL.

The location was beautiful, the food was great, and the interior of the restaurant was so…read morebeautifully done that I was sure the overall experience would put the cherry on top. Unfortunately, it did not. My friends and I were visiting Monroe for the LO Sister Women's Conference and were tourists just looking for a nice brunch spot before heading back home. The hosts at the front were incredibly kind, and the other servers we passed were smiling and welcoming, so I was excited for the experience. Unfortunately, our server, Kandi, came across as very rude and unwelcoming from the beginning. Her tone felt aggressive, and she seemed short with all of us while we were ordering. I have a texture issue with poached eggs, so when ordering the Cochon Benedict, I politely explained that I don't like poached eggs and asked if scrambled eggs would be possible instead. I was still very excited about the dish and was open to the substitution. Her response was essentially, "Well, it's supposed to be served that way. That's what makes a Benedict a Benedict, but I guess I'll see if we can do that." As someone who has also worked in the service industry, I completely understand that restaurants have certain ways they prepare and serve their dishes, and I understand that substitutions aren't always possible. What disappointed me was the tone and the lack of warmth in the interaction. There was no need for my request to feel like an inconvenience, especially when I was simply explaining a dietary/texture preference and asking if there was another option. Honestly, after that first interaction, I almost didn't want to order at all because I wondered how the rest of the experience would go. I want to emphasize that the restaurant itself is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere has so much potential. My experience with the other staff members was positive, which made the interaction with our server stand out even more. I'm praying for Kandi and genuinely hope she was simply having a rough day. I don't know what she may have been dealing with that day, and I never want to judge someone based on one interaction. However, as a customer visiting from out of town, first impressions matter, and unfortunately, the service took away from what could have been a wonderful overall experience.

We started with the upside down chicken Caesar salad with fries. Delicious. Fries could've been hotter but the salad was the star. A meal on its own but i love that red fish so much. So seasoned, beautiful meaty fish, mmm. The service was wonderful and the sweet tea was delicious. I will always come here if I'm in town!

Mr. Pat & Mrs. Kay are the owners and they are hands on at all times. They run the whole show, so you deal only with them and the interactions with them were always very pleasant! (When a business owner is dealing with customers, you usually get THE best treatment.) These 2 people are the kind that make you feel like you've known them forever. Booking our weekend was effortless. They took our information, and told us to call whenever we needed directions or help. They promised to turn on the air conditioner earlier in the day so that our cabin would be cool by the time we got there.(Spotless cabin, may I add. But more on that in a minute.) We ran into Memorial Day traffic and, therefore, ran very late. Never having met us, they told us they'd leave the key by the door to the cabin for us. Are you getting a sense of what kind of people they are? Upon turning onto the property, we felt a sort of serenity with the moonlight gently giving us a sneak peek at all of the natural beauty we would be surrounded by for the weekend. We were excited to see this beautiful piece of land in the morning sun! As we walked down the rustic wooden bridge that led to our cabin, we were treated to the delights of a country night; the still night air, the birds singing their greetings to us, the sound of the water trickling through the tiny creek, the steady rolling hum of the windmill, all accented by peaceful quietness. And the doves! Can you imagine having white doves flying around, always in pairs? On the front porch of the cabin were a rocking chair and a porch swing. How welcoming! The inside of the cabin was spotless and, as promised, cool. There were soft clean linens on the beds with nice, fluffy pillows. The bathroom had a variety of complimentary toiletries and fresh towels and rags. There was a heater nestled in front of a wall designed to outline a cozy fireplace. They even thought to put a game of Dominoes on the mantle! They went out of their way to add the little "homey" touches that really make a difference. We went to bed looking forward to relaxing in the sparkling pool the next day. (And we slept sooo good!) After a delicious breakfast of Strawberries Romanoff, French Toast with crispy bacon, orange juice and coffee, Mr. Pat told us some of the history of the house (there since 1902) and grounds, like Lindbergh having landed there in 1923, 4 years before he "crossed the pond." Mrs. Kay gave us a tour of the house (also their home) and shared more of its extensive, and quite interesting, history. Stepping into some of the rooms, we felt like we'd been transported back into time. For instance, entering the parlor gives you a sense of how life was back then. The décor and furnishings and timed pieces allowed you to feel like you were there when it was all brand new. The antiques and old pictures of the original family make you experience a personal connection with their past. Edgewood Plantation offers an excellent first and last impression! Whether you're in the Cabins or the Bed & Breakfast, it's a place where you can relax, with no chaos or responsibilities and feel at home while away from home. A retreat. Mr. Pat and Mrs. Kay work hard to make sure that Edgewood is not just a place to stay, but an experience!

So, for the good....the room is spacious, including the bath area. The bed is comfy, the AC gets extremely cold and the blackout curtains are fantastic!! The lobby and dining areas are very nice, updated and comfortable for your leisure time. There is a gym and pool on the first floor across from the elevator. Breakfast is your usual. Scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, oatmeal with all of the fixins' and condiments. Yogurt, juice, fruit, breads and coffee. For the not so great, there aren't enough electrical sockets in my room and the fridge is rather small. I wish there were rooms with bigger fridges for longer stay guests. Other than that, I'm very well pleased and would certainly recommend this establishment for lodging.
