Yelp.com Review - by Carmen H.

4.0 of 5 stars. My good friend lives out in Crown Point, LA so I recently ate at Restaurant des Familles for the second time. It is lovely, far from the hustle and bustle of New Orleans, with an extensive menu of...

Bad service and poor quality of food>

We wanted a great place to celebrate our Mother's 80th birthday. Our out of town family wanted something Cajun. We made a reservation for Sunday Brunch, the person who took the reservation said they would like to bring a bread pudding with a candle to make our celebration special. Well several people did not want the champagne and ordered ice tea (they charged an extra 2.00) When they brought the different courses no one bothered to clear the dishes from the previous order. By the time our entrees arrived our table was so cluttered there was no place to set the plates. So our waitress proceeded to hand each of us our plates, which were hot they were probably under some sort of heat light as the food itself was room temp. I just about flew off my seat when she handed my 80 year old mother the hot plate and she almost dropped it. I could go on and on but it is no use. The staff response was oh we are sorry you had a problem. They did not have a problem adding the $70.00 (18%) tip on for our group. There are so many great restaurants in this city please don't make the mistake of choosing this one

Atmosphere..Atmosphere..Atmosphere

The food is awesome and the senery is perfect for a romantic night and quiet night out. Only one recommendation, make reservations to have a table by the window for you can look out on the bayou while you eat.

Yelp.com Review - by Charlie R.

4.0 of 5 stars. Overlooking the bayou, swamp water at the window, maybe an ibis or gator popping into view. And you are not at the zoo. This restaurant at the edge of the Barataria Preserve, in the town of Lafitte,...

First off, the food is excellent. However, at what point do you say "enough is enough." I was looking forward to having dinner here with my family for my brother's birthday. We made reservations and had a...
