    Food was delicious. Service was friendly but poor. We had to ask for drink refills each time, food delivered at various times after a really long wait. There were many tables so the restaurant was busy … perhaps just needed additional support for the waiters.

    I ordered an Old Fashioned and it was well made and everyone else enjoyed their cocktails. We order the Lamb Pops and they were excellent. We order 5 different entrees and everyone enjoyed their meals, I had the pork chop ribeye, it was smaller than I was expecting but tasted delicious. We enjoyed the experience there with our grown children visiting on their last day in town.

    We had a reservation but were a few minutes late. It was no problem for them and we were seated within two minutes of arrival. Hostess and server both very welcoming and did a great job. Food was great as usual!

    My husband ordered a ribeye and it was completely charred. When the waiter asked how every thing was, he told him the steak taste burnt. They did not take it back or take it off our ticket. The martini was also the size of a shot glass. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

    The sea bass duck entrees were great! The service was good as well as the atmosphere! The only negative during our visit was the condition of the table clothes and cloth napkins at our table. We feel that a high end restaurant like this definitely should not have stains on the table cloths and/or cloth napkins.

    Very pleased. Food was well seasoned, great flavor and we enjoyed every bite. Best part was our greeting. I had requested a table to see the sunset while we ate, my wife and I was greeted upon arrival with, we have been waiting for you, we have you a table by the window. And we were promptly seated with a great view of the sunset. Customer service deserves 6 stars!

    Mariner's is a must when visiting Natchitoches! The shrimp ceviche was so fresh and was an awesome appetizer. The wine list was impressive and our server was very knowledgeable! The lemon drop martini was on point! The beef medallions with goat cheese and red wine reduction was cooked perfectly. Can't say enough about Mariners, highly recommend!
