    Went with a group while in town for a convention. Ordered 5 steaks for 7 guys which was plenty. Apps did the bacon which was outstanding, baked oysters, and prawns. Sides of crawfish mac n cheese, cheesy mashed, onion rings and the corn fritter is a must have. Dessert, do not pass on the butter cake.

    In town for a few days and wanted to eat close to our hotel. Bon Ton was a close walk and provided everything we needed. The prime rib and sides were excellent. Our waiter was helpful with information on the city also.

    From beginning to end, we had a very enjoyable fine dining experience. Our waiter Samuel was absolutely wonderful. He was very attentive and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. We enjoyed our conversation with him as well. The food is great. An absolute must are the Bon Ton Oysters. For our entree, we chose the Cajun Steak and a Filet Mignon with a side of Crawfish Mac and Cheese. The steaks were cooked perfectly. We were there to celebrate my Birthday so after dinner they bought out a small chocolate cake decorated with purple, green and gold. We will definitely return very soon.

    We had a great time at Bon Ton the night of the Sugar Bowl. We were glad to get out after the aftermath of bourbon street to show our support and respect those we lost from not being afraid to go out. I wanted to thank Audri and Antonio for a great dining experience. We enjoyed the prime rib and Cajun steak. Definitely save room for dessert… try the sundae or butter cake. 😎

    Unfortunately it was a miss with our meal. Several issues combined to make this not a five star experience. Our issues were addressed by the manager Travis. We would’ve rather had a great experience than have part of our meal bought for us. We’ll consider trying them again and hopefully this was just a one time deal
