We went to Tchefunctes tonight and started a new tradition with our friends. It’s a swanky joint and everything is beautifully... appointed. The bar, the private rooms, kitchen; no detail appears unthought of. We started at the bar where I asked thebartender, Trey, to make me something with gin, and not a French 75. He made the best gin martini I’ve ever had. Others alsorequested custom drinks and her delivered. Chase was our server and was knowledgeable and passionate about the menu. He tookcare of every element. The food was absolutely stunning. Each course was prepared and presented perfectly. The kitchen staffdeserves accolades. Private parking is available in a dedicated lot. Reservations strongly recommended. Read more

I had my birthday dinner there last night. I cannot describe how wonderful this place is. The ambiance. The decor. The service.... We were greeted with wonderful signature cocktails at the bar and then seated promptly at our table overlooking the river. Ourserver, Bailey, was the most extraordinary and knowledgeable server, I as an experienced diner and former server myself has everencountered. The food has spoiled me for any other restaurant in the country. We had the carpaccio with the fried oysters thatwere mouth-watering. The Delmonico steak with brown butter gnocchi and sauteed gourmet mushrooms and onions were justwonderfully full of flavor. The demi-gloss was incredible. As the birthday girl I had the crab cake which was more like aperfect cup of beautiful fresh lump crab meat. And because I could not decide between the scallops and the crab cake theyactually let me do scallops and crab cake. And it ended with their strawberry shortcake which is unlike anything I've ever had!And to end the digestivo apertif was incredible. Thank you and we will be back. Read more

I had really high expectations for dinner tonight, but was unfortunately let down. My husband ordered the old fashion that was... subpar; we started with the bbq shrimp appetizer which was decent. For dinner we ordered the Hawaiian ribeye which was the besttasting thing of the night, we added the creamed spinach side which lacked seasoning sadly. We also shared a Caesar salad, thatwasn’t the greatest(also not a fan of deli sliced Romain I have to cut up to eat) I ordered the filet 6 oz with the mashedpotatoes and of the whole night our biggest upset was the potatoes that I were boxed instant potatoes. So for 240$ we won’t bereturning. They were gluten aware tho for those with allergies. I was impressed with that Read more

Fabulous meal as always! Going on Mother's day, you expect the least. But we got the best! Fantastic service! Lobster bisque,... fresh croissants, pressed flower cocktails, and lobster sardou. Could not have asked for a better meal to share with my sis andmomma. Read more

Visiting a close friend (whom I know from decades of voluntary commitment to the PGA of America Committees) who lives north of... New Orleans, he chauffeured us to one of his favorite dining places near his home. Situated on the water with views of TimMcGraw and Faith Hill's home and yacht, Tchefuncte's Restaurant is a discerning foodie extravaganza of chef's kitchenpleasures. Server Michael guided us through a caviar appetizer with small potatoes pancakes, tuna tartare small morsels, roastedbeet salad, followed by entrees of Chilean sea bass and Red Snapper. Incredible! The creme de la creme was the praline pecancake dessert adorned with a delectable scoop of chocolate almond ice cream. This place is 5 plus stars! Read more

It was everything I was hoping for in an anniversary dinner. The place was elegant. The service was fantastic. The food was... incredible. And most of all, it was not rushed. The last 2 anniversary dinners in this area of town were only okay and, in oneinstance, rushed. At one place we were in and out in under 60 minutes. Tonight we took 1:45 which was relaxing and appreciated.The bartender knew how to make an Old Fashioned We started with sweet potato ravioli and roasted red pepper soup. Both weresatisfying and comforting. Then we had prime rib and blackened grouper. Both dishes looked great and tasted better. Dessertconsisted of the largest piece of doberge cake you can image. I laughed out loud for 2 minutes. Even the coffee hit the spot.This was the best restaurant experience we've had in our 4 years living in this area. We will be back. Read more

Hands down the best thing to arrive on the Northshore!! Well thought through and wonderful display of perfection. The decor the... ambiance, the food, the drinks, the wine list are all pure perfection. They have been able to take a large restaurant, fill itwith people and maintain a soft level of noise so you can easily talk to each other. The bar is lovely and large and the drinksare interesting. The menu is creative and the combination of flavors spectacular. The crab cake was the best I have ever had andthose are my favorite. The wine list is interesting and it is surprisingly well represented of regions of the world with smallproduction. Service is superior and attentive as well as very friendly. My only warning is that you will over eat - so you havebeen warned!!! Desserts are beautiful so save room. They have a couple of private rooms for larger parties. Parking is easy in aprivate lot. It is pricey, but honestly one of the few that is a culinary experience and worth every penny!!! Read more
