Pere Antoine's Restaurant

My spouse and I went here based on the Gluten free reviews. We were blown away by the blackened catfish. Our server Jackie made our stay feel comfortable and inviting. When we return, it will be in large part to visit with her once again Jackie wisely recommended the blackened catfish, which was so delicious we had to come back another night. It had a blackened crust which was decadently powerful, even while the interior was moist and dense. The veggies werewell-steamed and seasoned to compliment the fish perfectly. They maintained a beautiful crunch throughout the meal. We will be back! Edit: We came back!! Jackie remembered us, our drinks and our order! We asked to be seated in her sectionspecifically : . This time we tried the gator and it was amazing!

Went here for lunch today on 2/6/2022 with my husband. I was surprised that there weren't many people at around 1 PM on a Sunday when Rock n'Roll Marathon was in town. The dining room is very pretty and we were seated next to a window where we could hear a street performer playing a cornet. I specifically chose this place because I have Celiac disease and their menu actually lists gluten free options! We ordered the marinated, grilled alligator with horseradish mustard $17) as the gluten free appitizer. It was surprisingly good and tasted much better than any fried gator that either I or my husband have ever had. The texture is like shrimp, if you could have a chunk of shrimp. I asked our waitresswhether she'd suggest the gluten free jambalaya $15) or the gluten free Creole $17) she suggested the mixed jambalaya chicken, shrimp and sausage) so I got that. It was okay and came with sauteed vegetables that were meh. I noticedthat the shrimp weren't deveined so if that grosses you out, steer clear of the shrimp. My husband got the chicken Creole and OMG it was so good. I wish I had ordered that! I kept dipping my sauteed vegetables in his Creole sauce. ChickenCreole was 10/10. Alligator 8/10 Jambalaya with sauteed vegetables 5/10 I'd eat here again and order two chicken Creoles just for myself next time, it's just that good.

Pere Antoine was great in every way...delicious food, stunning location, charming staff. We tried a range of local favorites, including blackened catfish, 2 kinds of jambalaya, and sausage gumbo. Perfect amount of Creole spice to round out wonderful dishes. We'll be back for more!

Service was fantastic. The ambience was wonderful. We had the Bratbeef-Poboy and it was delicious.

A few drinks stayed on a whine to go as they looked like they had a pretty decent bar. We were served fast and the bartender was nice, but man...
