Great food and drinks! The staff in the front tasting room was also great and helped us pick out a nice bourbon to take home.

Food was good however I ordered the Taste Of New Orleans and was a bit disappointed. I expected some crawfish or shrimp in with the entree but all dishes were a ham/sausage with rice. It consisted of jambalaya, gumbo and an etoufee. My wife’s entree was very good, she ordered the braised short ribs.

Amazing food and great service. The pasta is probably one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. Loved the decor and ambiance. Will definitely be returning.

This is a hidden gem in downtown Cincinnati. Fantastic ambiance, incredible food and wonderful staff/service. We wish we had found Laveau sooner and we cannot wait to go back again! Make a reservation and get yourself down here.

Our reservation was delayed due to some unexpected kitchen/behind the scenes stuff but they were very nice, prompt and gave us a cocktail on the house which was a thoughtful touch. Our server was great and most of the food was very very good. The salt in the jambalaya was a lil extra but otherwise also very good. I'd rather say the food was 4.5 stars but half stars are not an option. All in all, a very nice experience.

First time visit and had great experience. Had a fantastic Sazerac cocktail from
the skilled bartender to start. Got a cozy booth in the fun themed dining area. Menu had interesting Cajun and creole choices. Food was good. Staff super friendly. We will plan to come back.
