    Food and service was absolutely amazing!!!! My family and I absolutely enjoyed ourselves. If you love the creole/cajun experience then come here. The ambiance also has that old school NOLA feeling which made the experience all the better. I will tell my friends and family to come here.

    The food was extremely good! Service was slow, with our appetizers taking over 30 minutes. Atmosphere was great! We will come again.

    Our table was ready upon our early arrival. We were promptly greeted and seated. The server was attentive and made bar/ appetizer and entree recommendations. The drinks came out quickly, and the entree of the house special was enough to share. I'd go back, most enjoyable.

    We had a lovely time! Choices on menu for vegetarians was limited. Would have liked a few more. Portions of the food were good. We had a great time. And even packed doggy bags. Would recommend for a quiet elegant evening.

    We had a fantastic time! The food was great and the menu rotates every week for variety. Prices were reasonable. They offer beignets every night for desert along with a rotating menu of creative sweets. The decor is gorgeous, furniture is comfortable, and jazz music floats through the place. The restaurant’s namesake is Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, and the decor has a spooky, nautical feel. We will definitely be back! Please give the place a try. We need to keep this one, Cincinnati!

    We enjoyed our dinner at Laveau. Attentive but unobtrusive service in a nicely appointed, not overly noisy space. I appreciated the New Orleans jazz. The food and drink were uniformly satisfying. We had a fried shrimp appetizer that was just right, as was an unusual green goddess salad. My partner had one of the poutines and I had sausage étoufée. Both substantial and tasty. Oh, and those Sazerac cocktails. They did the job! Worth a visit.
