Always enjoy going to this restaurant, especially when the service is so good! Madison was the one who helped me last night, I got to sit at my favorite spot at the bar and really enjoyed the conversation and the great service. Food was outstanding as well! You can’t beat this place!

Always a rememberable evening at The Wash House! We come over from New Orleans a few times a year to stay at The Grand for special occasions, and dinner at The Wash House is always a must do. The chateaubriand is amazing! And overall, it’s just the most romantic dining room with perfect ambiance.

We typically have an outstanding food experience at the wash house. The service is always top-notch. I ordered the halibut and it was a bit dry and overcooked, and my husband ordered the seafood pasta and didn't care for it to my surprise I could taste shrimp boil seasoning? , and very little seafood. I feel that it's unusual that we both had something that was not up to par. We most definitely will give them another try.

We had a nice time but the food was not of the quality to match the price. The drinks were delicious. Need french wines by the glass. Appetizers were rich but tasty. Salad was thin. Beef filet slightly bland and possibly fried in a lower quality oil. Dessert was candy-sweet just too much. Loved the service and setting but left feeling it was a bit of a trap.
