Ruffino's -Steak-Seafood-Italian restaurant is an experience in food and atmosphere like no others. From the time you walk in and see the wood-burning stove aflame to the beautiful smiles on every Ruffino's team member's face, you will have goosebumps on the back of your neck for the dining journey that awaits you. From our wonderful signature Crabmeat Cheesecake appetizer to our mind blowing Cedar Plank-baked Catch or our mouth watering Prime cut steaks, the menu is diverse for everyone. The relaxed but swinging music along with perfect lighting and energy make this the ultimate restaurant in Louisiana. It's where Louisiana Comes to Celebrate Life!

    My wife and I were there to celebrate our Anniversary of 48 years of marriage. We were placed in the bar area which had several people at the bar making a lot of noise. An anniversary celebration should not be seated next to a bar!

    I was a little disappointed with our visit last night. When we arrived the hostess just pointed to our table instead of walking us over. It was relatively close, but it is not the service that we've come to expect. We weren't asked if we were celebrating anything like normal either. A couple of our meals were sub-par as well, one of my son's ribeye had a lot more fat than my other son's ribeye, and my wife's veal parmesan was a smaller portion than normal with very little pasta under the veal. Due to a "delay" our food took a while to come out. Overall, the experience was underwhelming from what we've come to expect.

    Had a wonderful Sunday brunch with my family. Peter & company took great care of us. Appetizers crabmeat cheesecake, arancini, bread service were amazing. My filet was cooked to perfection, delicious side of sautéed spinach. Hubby had cedar plank drum fish to die for! Can’t wait to return-so delicious!

    My wife and I had dinner with two of our young adult grandchildren who are college graduates and employed. The meal started with charbroiled oysters that were delicious. Entrees included Tuna, Veal, steak and eggplant dishes. The service was excellent and the food was very good. Not our first time here and we’ll be back soon.

    Ruffino’s was delicious from the bread , appetizer, entree’, and dessert. I am not a cotton candy fan so we declined on that. Also the braised pork cheeks were a first try and they were really tender and tasty. Definitely get them a try.

    Very pleasant evening out. Lamb chops were a special and were very good. Nice menu addition. Skin-on trout with raspberry reduction was great. Need some changes to the calamari. Not much taste. Batter fries up hard.
