This is the link for the restaurant: http://www.thelandingrestaurantandbar.com/menus.htm. I had salmon etouffee topped with shrimp and crab...delicious. My wife had grilled talapia which also was delicious. Our dinner salads were not up to date and were below average. We asked for water to drink with dinner and it was horrible. We asked for bottled water..sparkling or not and were told... more

The most horrible food on our whole trip! Gumbo was thin as water and mildly flavored with no okra and a few boiled shrimp tossed in before it was brought to the table. One of the oysters on our plate was rotten. There is no reason this place should even be open. An embarrassment to the city! more

So, okay, you saw "Steel Magnolias" and you keep hoping you'll meet the characters. Guess what: you might. I travel all over the South, well most of the country, but if I was born in Boston let's say my roots are in Rapids Parish. For this reason, perhaps, I forgive false expectations and simply enjoy every excuse to swing by... more

The restaurant is located on the waterfront in historical Natchitoches, which you can't beat. Inside was clean, but had a bit of a Denny's-feel to it (plastic-topped tables and fake plants). Most the diners around us were older and by the time we finished eating (8pm) the place was nearly empty. So clearly this is a popular spot for the... more

Three of us went to Natchitoches the day after Christmas to see the lights and wanted a nice meal. We've eaten Cajun food for years so we had high expectations, I guess. The Landing has been around a long time, so we reserved a table there. The restaurant itself is in a wonderful location and has a nice atmosphere, but... more

Look I don't want to be too harsh but we had five people for lunch and ordered just about every type of food they had on the menu. If the made it - it is below average to bad - if they got it from a food distributor (like the onion rings) they are fine. Crawfish ettoufee - bad; fried... more

We eat here every Christmas season. Be sure to request a seat by the windows to enjoy the view. more

There are so many wonderful things about the Landing. The location is right across from the river, in one of the historic downtown riverfront buildings. You get a real sense of where you are when you're there... old Louisiana. It's a beautiful historic place. And did I mention the food? (almost forgot) Delicious! I sampled everyone's food at my table,... more

So impressed with The Landing. Not a really fancy restaurant (I think there's only one in town, but it was closed for the summer), but a local jewel no less. Our waitress was charming and helpful, and our adult drinks were perfect. My husband ordered the 8oz. filet, and it was cooked to perfection. The steak tasted exactly how it... more
