Food was a 5 service was a 1. Must have hit it on a bad day. First time to eat at this place. Party of 4 at 6pm on a Friday night and it is packed. If going, I highly recommend a reservation. According to our other party it started filling up before 5pm in the bar area. When we arrived we were promptly seated at 6pm and ordered drinks. We had a dozen broiled Parm herb & garlic oysters, a cup of gumbo, and a wedge salad and they were all exceptional. Oysters were a little garlicky, aside from that they were good. I had the Gulf Grouper Cioppino and it was fabulous! My husband had the bowl of gumbo and agreed it was the best he has ever had! Our other party had the Red Fish Jane it was divine! And the Cauliflower Saganaki which really didn't appeal to her but was suggested by someone at the bar-oh well you live and learn. The food was excellent, presented very well, the service was the worst we've had in years. So disappointing. It took us over 30 minutes to get a second drink, ran out of water. Took forever to get our food. We were there for 2 hours...and due to a recent surgery I couldn't finish my meal and requested a go box because I eat very slow. When the waiter brought the check he didn't bring my to go box. He came back to pick up the tab and we brought it to his attention and he I indicated someone threw it away. I guess he thought we wouldn't notice???but he did make it right and made another dish that was discarded. I will definitely go back because the food is so good and I feel maybe they were under staffed on this particular night...I hope. Maybe next time get a different waiter. And let me mention that every table was seated, not every other table, every table. People were walking around the bar area with no mask on. The bar was packed, every seat was seated, not every other, no social distancing going on. If you are worried about Covid, I probably would not go at this time, My husband and I have had Covid so it was not that big of a concern for us. read more

Went for dinner mid week, great service, excellent drinks (Whiskey Tango Foxtrot was a fave), fantastic food!

First, I only have 2 pictures because we were with friends & food was so delicious, kept eating (ok they also make really good alcohol slushy drinks..if you go & they have the blackberry one-ORDER it!) My husband ordered their wedge salad (which he said was good). We shared the house cut Caet Fries. The picture below is them. So yummy! I also had their broiled oysters (pic below), my only regret is I ordered a 1/2 dozen instead of a dozen. I won't make that mistake again. The garlic parm on them WOW, unbelievable flavor. In my opinion topped all the ones I had in New Orleans! For dinner & don't worry we will back their soon & I will take a picture because I will order this again-Redfish Anna. OMG. The lump crabmeat on top of a perfect redfish, was absolutely delicious! In fact the 2 friends that joined us took my recommendation on the broiled oysters & redfish anna, they were also very impressed. Also need to give Tyler a shoutout, he took great care of us! Can't wait to go back. In regards to Covid, this particular day, restrictions were lifted. However masks were worn, sanitizer in place & bathrooms were clean! read more

Very good wine list. Wines on tap. Formal service, very upscale vibe. West Coast and East Coast oysters.

Appetizers were great. Entrees terrible. Steak was requested mid-rare, served blue. Fish (snapper) was almost inedible despite being pretty. Dessert is as solid. read more

fun place with a great atmosphere! food and drinks are consistently good. menu is pretty varied so there's typically something for everyone.

One of the best in Jackson. Try the grilled oysters, they are always great. Raul is our favorite server there!

I loved CAET in it's old location and was skeptical when it moved. I'm happy to say they've only expanded on what they were already doing so well--delicious food, great cocktails, and good service. Their happy hour menu is from Mon-Sat 3-5:30 p.m. and includes options for beer, wine or cocktails as well as food and small plates. I had the CAET signature salad which was greens, candied pecans, grapes, pickled red onions, and goat cheese fritter with a sherry vinaigrette and all I can say is I'm already planning my next trip back to have it again. Their old fashioned is made with Angel's Envy bourbon and is top notch. read more

We went to eat at CAET on Friday, December 10th. There weren't any open tables, so we sat at the oyster bar. Our food and service were fantastic! We had salad, oysters, shrimp and grits and tuna a la plancha, and all of it was top notch. Our sever Makayla, was excellent and a joy to speak to. We will definitely be back. read more

Delicious! Great atmosphere and service. Never disappoints. Perfect for apps or dinner .

My husband and I went here to eat to celebrate my birthday. We had a reservation and were seated promptly on arrival. The ambiance is classy but somewhat casual. We had a very friendly and informative waitress. For an appetizer we had the special for that night, which was sea scallops over spinach. They were delicious! I had the filet for my entrée and my husband had the tuna, both were good. For dessert we split the bread pudding with bourbon ice cream and it was absolutely amazing! read more

My wife hosted her Mom's 87th birthday party last night at Caet. She made her Mom's cake and brought it to dinner. The hostess told her that there was a $25 charge since they would not order dessert. The cake went to the car.$500 ticket. No dessert was ordered. Party of 8 left angry. Go to Caet to buy food. Do not go to Caet for a good experience because the staff and management do not care how you feel. I reached out to Dereck, Jennifer, and Effie. None of them responded. read more

CAET is a reliable place to take your friends out to dinner. We love the ambience, the food, and the fact that if it rains and you're sitting outside you'll get a free shower - pretty good perk I'd say! read more

Best fresh oysters on the half shell in the jackson area! Redfish is delicious as well!!

the owner of Caet Jennifer is one of the rudest restaurant owners I have ever encountered . be aware.!!! I called to discuss being short changed at their other restaurant Walkers and she was exceedingly rude. details: i gave the waiter a $100 bill for a $19.35 lunch. I was given $80 change missing the 65 cents. I courteously explained and was told that's the way they handled change! cheating a customer is cheating regardless of the amount! the waiter said be didnt have the change then came back with 48 cents! then finally came up with the 65 cents. I was made to feel extremely uncomfortable. I then explained to the assistant mgr. he was nice but only offered to give me a dollar rather than the change. NO offer of a complimentary meal to make up for the really embarrassing situation in which I was placed. the owner Jennifer became belligerent and rude when I explained. NO APOLOGY and told me I was overdone for expecting a comp meal for the terrible awkwardness I dealt with. be aware of their restaurants and nasty attitudes at Walkers and Caets in Jackson Mississippi. they are missing GRACE. read more

Delicious food, a little pricy for what we got but it was really good. We had great service too.

WORST restaurant I've EVER experienced!! The owner is clearly a racist. Apparently, when you don't want to serve people, you can simply make up a story that justifies treating "certain" customers like they are insignificant and disposable. The restaurant overbooked, and left 12 people who where there to celebrate at 67th birthday, standing for over 30 minutes even though there was a reservation. Meanwhile, party after party were being seated right before their eyes. And the hosting staff were unthinkably rude and dismissive when asked about being seated. This breaks my heart as it reminds me that MS and some people in it have not changed. read more

My favorite place to go get drinks and their redfish Anna is my all time favorite meal

I visited CAET years ago at their old location and loved it. The charcuterie, cauliflower steaks, and everything we tried were delicious. I returned today at the new (lovely) location. I had a delicious grapefruit cocktail, followed by an appetizer for dinner - the same from my first visit - Cauliflower Saganaki - roasted cauliflower steak with tomato and feta. It is hard to express how good this is. Simple, healthy, filling - even non-vegetarians like myself will love it. It's a thick well cooked cauliflower slice topped with juice roasted tomatoes, melting Feta, herbs and sauce. Just divine. There is so much more on the menu I can't wait to try, but it's hard to beat a winner like this! read more

It was hard to initially wrap my head around getting delicious seafood in the same location that formally housed Seafood Revolution (the Jackson area provider of highly over priced, mediocre seafood), but that is exactly what happened. The turtle soup is the best I've had outside of New Orleans, the main dishes were very generous, and the fish was done perfectly. My only regret was not getting dessert, but I was just too full! There is also a happening bar scene. I'd suggest getting reservations anytime after 6. read more

Caet had a great vibe at the old place... it focused on the drinks, vibe and small plates. Unfortunately at its new location the food is front and center. Went on a busy Friday night. Service was meh. The Jackson hot catfish was a great small plate, cooked crispy and perfect amount if hear. All the rest was pretty poorly done. 3 people that ordered the 6oz filet couldnt even finish it, poorly seasoned, dry. They brought out a cold plate of truffle fries ... really? I the wahoo special... was a 4-5 oz portion and i couldnt finish it... its hard to mess up fresh fish but was overcooked, dry, the accompaniments weren't great. All in all probably wont go back. Better options. Steak at koestler , fish at lous. I miss seafood rev.. at least the food was prepared well and consistent. read more

We met some friends at CAET for dinner, and everything on our table during the night was superb! // FIRST DISH - The Pimento Cheese Toast app - Man oh man. Toasted sourdough bread served with melty pimento cheese and topped with a warm bacon jam. I'm still thinking about that bacon jam. This may be one of my favorite apps ever. // SECOND DISH - Charcuterie - We love a good charcuterie! We really liked the variety on the board​ but wished that it had more meat. // THIRD DISH - CAET House Salad - Salad Days' lettuce, a fried goat cheese fritter (!!!!! SO GOOD) candied walnuts, red grapes, pickled onions with a sherry vinaigrette. This is the best "house" salad I've had. Ever. // FOURTH DISH - Filet - Wood-grilled​ with a red wine sauce, this steak was cooked perfectly and was absolutely delicious. // FIFTH DISH - Hangar Steak - Cooked in a cast-iron​ skillet, served sliced and topped with a blue cheese butter. Mmmmm. // SIXTH DISH - CAET House-Cut Fries - Served with 3 sauces (chipotle ketchup, honey mustard, duck fat aioli), these things are hard to stop eating. Like, I could have eaten my weight in them. // SEVENTH DISH - Blondie + Coffee Ice Cream - Honestly, we were really stuffed after eating everything else on our table. But, we just couldn't pass up dessert, and this blondie hit the spot. Served warm and topped with caramel and chocolate sauces and coffee ice cream. This was the perfect ending to a perfect meal! CAET has now made it to my favorites list in the Jackson area. // Follow us on IG @thesoutherndish for the dish on restaurants in the South. read more

A great experience for a fine dining restaurant. The service was superb. We had pimento cheese toast as an app. Super tasty! The redfish is amazing as an entree. I'd definitely recommend it, but it is pricey. read more

The food was excellent. Nina gave us great service and was very knowledgeable and friendly. Although, drinks were definitely on the slow side but it's a new place and it was a pretty full house so it's understandable. 5 stars! read more

We went to the new Caet on a Saturday night. I was worried about how they would fill such a large restaurant when the fondren location seemed significantly smaller.... but that place was BOOMING. There were people waiting outside who didn't have reservations.. the bar was full... the outside patio was full. This restaurant is going to do great. We had the crab fondue and the broiled oyster sampler..... both were amazing. We had the grouper and the scallops for our entrees. We split them both. The scallops came with some black type of rice and they were life changing. I will get that every time if they stay on the menu. We finished with the coconut 3 milk cake. It was also amazing. Overall, the night was fabulous and we will be back! read more

We love going to Caet. I cannot recommend the Refish Anna enough! It's my favorite. If you get a chance to eat at Caet, take it!

bartender prepares excellent mojitos and martinis, need to visit and more fully explore the great looking menu. enjoyed the drinks and fantastic service at the bar! read more

Caet has the best seafood in the Jackson area! We love going here for date night and with friends.

The oysters Rockefeller were superb. A little pricey, but good food. Lots of people.

I cannot give a full review as we just had salads and drinks. I will say the service was excellent. The bacon wedge salad is one I would go back for and the lovely glass of Pinot was the best I have had in years....mind you it was spendy. 4oz pour for $12, but it was a nice treat. Otherwise the menu is very expensive and you pay for protein and sides separately ($6+ per side). If you wanted a lovely albeit expensive dinner then this would be high on the list. read more

Favorite date night location next to Walker's! We have never tried anything here that we didn't like. Great atmosphere!

Visited recently and overall the experience was just ok. A lot of wine on tap to chose from and also a nice bottled wine selection. I hate I didn't take pictures of our food because I was a little surprised by the pimento and cheese plate. Not what I expected at all, honestly it didn't look or taste anything related to pimento and cheese. Super rich with a very heavy sauce for an appetizer. The charbroiled oysters were ok, they were more of a baked oyster, not grilled. We both had a wedge salad, those are hard to mess up. We also both ordered a filet, medium. They were both medium but honestly my husbands did not resemble a filet at all. His cut was on the tough side and heavy on the demi glacé. We had the 6 layer chocolate ganache cake and we opted for the coffee ice cream to go with it. The cake was good as was the coffee ice cream. Overall, drink selection 8/10 food 5/10. read more

Twice my husband and I came here for Friday lunch ordered the blackened catfish. It was well seasoned and we came back today for the blackened catfish, was highly DISAPPOINTED. NO seasoning on the catfish, had to ask for tobacco in an attempt to ameliorate my expectations. I gave them three stars in hopes they correct this glaring mistake read more

My husband loved the raw oysters. We went for lunch the service was great and the price was reasonable. He had the salmon and I had steak. I have gone to Caet for dinner too. I strongly suggest making a reservations if you go for dinner. read more

Food and service were good for most of the evening. But apparently asking for any modifications to a menu item is not an option. I requested the Blondie dessert without the ice cream and was told that was not an option. When it was served, the ice cream was one scoop sitting on top of the blondie. How hard would it be to simply not put it on there? read more

Holy cow! All I can say is this is place is easily in the running for best restaurant in the metro area! Great environment, & the staff is always super friendly and attentive. Where to start on the menu! Here are a few highlights Turtle Soup- the best you'll eat outside of Commander's Palace Crispy Lobster Rolls- SO tasty! Could be a meal unto themselves Shrimp Po-Boy-I'm normally not a person that orders sandwiches @ a place like this, but WOW! As good as any po-boy in New Orleans. (And I should know, I lived there for years) Flounder Francese- If a fish and stick of butter had a beautiful baby...it would be this dish. Bread Pudding-Do it. Just do it and don't look back. Bottom line, it's hard to go wrong here! Great job, once again, Derek & Co. read more

The food was delicious, but they need to work on controlling the flies that constantly buzz around on the patio. It would have been a much better experience without swatting flies away. read more

CAET - Haddock and truffle fries, with lemon aioli. - New American Near Me - Ridgeland, Mississippi

The new Caet at renaissance it great! I was worried about them moving into this space but the service and food and atmosphere were all great! I recommend Redfish Anna, the pimento cheese toast with bacon jam and the grouper with lobster rissoto. read more

Had the opportunity to visit Caet in their new location at Highland Colony twice this week. The soft shell crab with fresh pico de gallo and butter sauce was to die for! The small Charcuterie plate was wonderful and enough for 3. They have a great assortment of fresh oysters on the half shell and you can mix or match from the list. Their wine list is Wine Spectator recognized. David the manager and Saul our waiter both nights could not have been better; very attentive, but not intrusive. It is vying for my favorite high end restaurant in the metro area that has several contenders. Give them a try and ask for Saul as your server you won't be disappointed! read more

Continuing from their previous location in Fondren this is a winner for Jackson and out of towners. Locals love Redfish Anna but don't hesitate to gone scallops or chef specials. Wine list is thorough. It would be helpful if waiters could describe wines and properly match to your order. I had to do research at the table. Dessert wise sea salt caramel torte was loved by the table. read more
