The pancakes had such a good flavor, might be a touch of vanilla and the bacon was fried just right...crispy. Best thing, which a lot of places which serve breakfast don't do was the little pod of SOFT butter. Too many places give you ice cold butter to spread on your toast or biscuit or pancake. Like the atmosphere, too.

We got the Hudson and Jambalaya grits with fried fish. The boudin in the Hudson is one of the yummiest boudin I've had. And the bacon maple jam made the flavor even more complex. Topped with gravy and shrimp - chef kiss I also enjoyed the grits a lot. I broke the crispy fried fish into bits and mixed into the grits. The texture is simply amazing. Service is super good. Everyone is so welcoming. It feels like very home-y place. Hope this helps!

Our…read moreserver, Haley, was friendly, attentive, and provided fantastic recommendations that made our meal even better. There were three of us, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we stayed until closing! We started with the Crab Beignets and the Bone Marrow Tartare. I had never tried bone marrow tartare before, but it was absolutely incredible. The combination of prime tenderloin tartare, bone marrow, garlic aioli, and chimichurri purée was unique and packed with flavor. For our entrees, we had the Lobster Pasta, Mushroom Pasta with Chicken, and the Power Bowl with Shrimp. Every dish was outstanding. The Power Bowl was especially flavorful, and I absolutely loved the sauce. The lobster pasta was rich and delicious, and the mushroom pasta was perfectly prepared. To finish, we shared the Brownie in a Cup, which was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Everything we ordered was amazing. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Calla is definitely a place we'll be returning to. Highly recommended!

Christiano was a fantastic server and took great care of us. The menu is innovative and the flavors are on point. The steak frites and fried oysters are great, the sea bass and beef shank specials were literally to die for. And I would be remiss, if I didn't give a major shout out to the greatness that resides in both the beef and chopped salads. They're incredible. The cocktails are crafty and well made to boot. The brownie in a cup dessert was my personal favorite, but the nutty cheesecake is surprisingly light and delicious also. All in all, Calla's got it all going on and you can't miss it. Cheers!

This is definitely going on the date night list!…read more The Scene Villa Harlequin gives a more upscale, intimate dining experience - the vibe feels both classic and local at the same time. It's the kind of place you go for a nice dinner, date night, or when you just want to slow down and enjoy a full meal. The Eats We started with drinks - my husband had The Italiano, which was smooth and well-balanced, and I went with a Hedges Family Wine, which paired nicely with dinner. For the meal: My husband had a house salad and the pan-seared fish, which was cooked well and complemented by the kind of rich, flavorful sauces they're known for. I went with the wedge salad and the surf & turf, and listen...this is where they shine. The surf & turf is a standout - steak paired with seafood and a bold, flavorful sauce that leans into that fusion they're known for. Everything came out well-prepared, plated nicely, and felt like a complete dining experience rather than just a quick meal. The Service Service was attentive and polished without being overbearing. Drinks stayed filled, courses came out at a comfortable pace, and the staff made sure everything flowed smoothly. It matched the overall feel of the restaurant - thoughtful and consistent. Parting Thoughts Between the cocktails, the wine, and standout dishes like the surf & turf, it delivers a well-rounded experience. Definitely a solid choice for a nice night out in Lake Charles - and one I'd return to when I'm in the mood for something a little more elevated.

The beef was tasty and spicy, the fish had a good color and was excellent, and the shrimp one was good to have too especially since they included their homemade jalapeño ranch dressing and it was extra good with it on top. I even enjoyed the side of beans with it on top. We will be back!

Upon entering I was impressed with the clean, modern, colorful, and tastefully decorated decor. There were also ample seating options from a large bar to a half wall decided double seating area. There even appeared to be a side room for parties. We came for my cousin's birthday. She made reservations for 15 an hour before arriving and we were seated within 10 minutes of arriving. Service in the beginning was quite quick when it came to getting a server and ordering drinks. I had a virgin Piña Cola which was really good and creamy. It reminded me of a coconut snocone with coconut cream! Also loved the toasted coconut garnish for a little razzle dazzle. We were also quickly served chips with 3 salsas: red, green, and bean. All were very good but I was drawn to the green which was sweet with a bit of heat! I had a hard time choosing my entree. Everything sounded good and looked amazing as it came out to other tables! The presentation of every item was A+. I decided to get the habanero cream enchiladas with cilantro rice and charro beans based on the recommendation of a couple at the table. I was very impressed by the flavor and it was exactly as the menu described...habanero minus the heat (there was his a hint of heat). In fact everything was very flavorful from the beans, to the rice, the chicken within the enchiladas, and the cream sauce! The dish was also very hearty and enough for 2 meals. Can't wait for my next visit to try one of the other delicious looking dish I saw people at our table and other tables order! Oh! Birthdays here are a big deal! We probably heard 10 birthdays while we were there including our own birthday girl. They come with a loud procession, a big hat, and a dessert!

We ordered the steak street tacos and steak tampiquena to go. They forgot our napkins, utensils, and tortillas so had to turn back around for them. Overall, the service was very nice and quick. The food was delicious and steak was nicely seasoned and soft too. Not tough at all. The steak tacos are big too. Not the teeny ones you usually get. The green "hot" sauce was so plain and mild. I wish it had more spice. The chili lime rice was ok. Didn't taste much of the chili lime.
