    My experience at Mariners was first rate! The atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous and the wine list is fantastic. I had the sea bass for my entree with the spinach, it was soooooo good! Topped the night off with cheesecake and coffee with baileys! If you want an amazing place to eat in Natchitoches go to the Mariner!
