    We were excited to try the menu. The only let down was the food was over seasoned. Especially the crab cake appetizer and catfish. My boyfriend liked the pasta dish which I ate a few bites and enjoyed. We will be back again to see if it was an odd occurrence. They were short staffed

    Great food and drinks! The staff in the front tasting room was also great and helped us pick out a nice bourbon to take home.

    Food was good however I ordered the Taste Of New Orleans and was a bit disappointed. I expected some crawfish or shrimp in with the entree but all dishes were a ham/sausage with rice. It consisted of jambalaya, gumbo and an etoufee. My wife’s entree was very good, she ordered the braised short ribs.

    Amazing food and great service. The pasta is probably one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. Loved the decor and ambiance. Will definitely be returning.

    This is a hidden gem in downtown Cincinnati. Fantastic ambiance, incredible food and wonderful staff/service. We wish we had found Laveau sooner and we cannot wait to go back again! Make a reservation and get yourself down here.
