    Very pleased. Food was well seasoned, great flavor and we enjoyed every bite. Best part was our greeting. I had requested a table to see the sunset while we ate, my wife and I was greeted upon arrival with, we have been waiting for you, we have you a table by the window. And we were promptly seated with a great view of the sunset. Customer service deserves 6 stars!

    Mariner's is a must when visiting Natchitoches! The shrimp ceviche was so fresh and was an awesome appetizer. The wine list was impressive and our server was very knowledgeable! The lemon drop martini was on point! The beef medallions with goat cheese and red wine reduction was cooked perfectly. Can't say enough about Mariners, highly recommend!

    We loved everything we ordered, cocktails, wine and food. We had lobster ravioli, seafood pasta, crab oscar, and I think a trout dish. Service seemed a bit slow, but nothing to really complain about; it was the holidays and there were multiple large groups.

    Great wine selection; the duck breast with collards is my favorite ; the crab soup was thick with crab and highly flavorful.
