Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Lake Charles

I wanted to take a moment to commend your team for an exceptional dining experience at Vic & Anthony’s. From the moment Taylor, the hostess, called to offer us an early reservation, we felt truly valued as guests. Our waiter, Drew, was outstanding—pleasant, attentive, and highly knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot-on, and his friendly demeanor made our meal even more enjoyable. The food itself was absolutely delicious, making the entire experience memorable. Please pass along our compliments to Taylor, Drew, and the entire team. We truly appreciate the excellent service and look forward to dining with you again soon! Best regards

This was our first experience at Gordon Ramsay Steak and it went beyond my expectations. For starters the hostess were amazing, polite, and engaging. We had arrived early so we sat down outside and in the building waiting to be seated. Once our reservations time had arrived, we were promptly seated at our table. We observe the whole restaurant and love how comforting but sophisticated the atmosphere was. The wait staff were all so kind. Our waiter was amazing breaking down the entire menu and giving us some amazing recommendations. We essentially went with the oysters and lobster risotto for appetizers. We maybe waited 25 mins for our appetizers which was expected, but once it arrived our waiters checked if we need anything else. The first bite of the lobster risotto was amazing, the texture of the risotto was spot on and the creaminess of it was spot on. The butter lobster was cooked to perfection, while the oyster and side sauces were an amazing pairing. For entrees we had the rack of lamb and of course the popular beef Wellington. The rack of lamb was a perfect medium and did not have a gamey taste. Now the Beef Wellington made all the worth driving that far. The puff pastry was flaky and golden brown. The cook on it was a perfect medium rare. It was everything we expected and more. The flavor combination and profile was nothing I could ever imagine. We also got a side of Mac and cheese and asparagus. The Mac and cheese was divine! The perfect gooeyness and the Gruyère cheese had an amazing pull and paired very well with the Wellington and Lamb. Now we couldn’t forget the Sticky Toffee Pudding, it was the perfect ending to an amazing dinner. The homemade ice cream pairing with the warm sticky toffee pudding was the icing on the cake! We will definitely be returning again! The food, staff, and atmosphere was amazing.

Was pleasantly surprised at the Landrys at Golfen Nugget. It is VASTLY improved from even a year ago. They were amazing servers, and the food was so delicious! Special thanks to our bartender Cade and the Server Logan. They were fantastic!!

Although we have eaten at Chart House Lake Charles numerous times, this was the first time that we ordered the prime rib. My husband and I started the meal with cocktails, French Onion Soup, and, of course, their breadbasket. The French Onion Soup was very good, thick with just the right amount of bread to broth ratio. However, the 10oz prime rib that we both ordered were perfect. We both like our steaks medium rare, and the prime rib was exactly that. My husband said that this was the best prime rib he had had since the Beef and Bottle in Sarasota, Florida, when we lived there many, many years ago. We finished the meal with mini lava cakes that warm, oozing with chocolate lava, and ice cream. I want to complement our server, Austin, he was attentive without hovering, had a great sense of humor, and made us feel like we were the only diners in the restaurant. Thank you, Austin, for making the night special for us. We enjoy the brunches and lunches at the Lake Charles Chart House, but it is now also the place we will go when we are hungry for prime rib.
