My husband and I came in to celebrate our anniversary and we absolutely loved it. Our server was Amanda, we had her select options for us to try, as we wanted to try as much as possible, and she served us amazing recommendations. Her service and knowledge truly made our first time here incredibly memorable and special. Our favorite selections were the scallops, the royal red shrimp, and the cornbread. We tried many other delicious options but those were our favorites. The bread pudding was our dessert and it was so flavorful and delicious. We definitely want to return and we’ll ask for Amanda when we do.

Eunice never disappoints. It’s one of my go-to spots, because of the consistent quality. Seriously, everything is delicious, and the service is top notch. Even though the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, the food also speaks for itself, and I appreciate that. My forever favorites are the cornbread, gumbo, and oysters… however, everythingggg is really good.

Great atmosphere, good food. The prices do seem a bit high for the quality/portion, and some of the dishes felt a little off (the shrimp étouffée was fine, but not particularly flavorful, and I don't typically expect fried shrimp?). I also … More

Eunice is a truly delightful dining experience, offering a beautiful blend of charm, warmth, and elevated Southern flavors. The ambiance is absolutely stunning, bright, modern, and welcoming, with just the right touch of elegance that makes every visit feel special.
The service is exceptional from start to finish. The staff is attentive, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable, making you feel genuinely cared for throughout your meal.
The oysters were a standout…fresh, briny, and absolutely fantastic. They set the tone for a meal full of promise. As for the gumbo, it leaned a bit on the thicker side with the roux, which meant it could’ve used a touch more seasoning. Thankfully, a few shakes of hot sauce brought it right back to life and made it enjoyable…and we loved the cornbread!
Overall, Eunice offers wonderful service, a gorgeous setting, and standout dishes that make it well worth the visit. With oysters this good, you’ll definitely find yourself coming back!

We came here for Sunday brunch and was pleasantly surprised by the level of service, the quality of food and the total aesthetic of this restaurant! Cody was our our server and offered great recommendations for our hungry bellies.
Let me just say that the cornbread will make you want to slap your mama!
It was the perfect balance of soft, sweet and crispy around the edges. You can tell that all the food was made with love 💕
We will definitely be coming back here.

Beautiful restaurant. The service was impeccable and the food was excellent. Valet parking as well as garage parking is available. The only downside is that there is no good signage for the restaurant, which looks as though it is part of an office building. More

What a wonderful restaurant!
Came here to enjoy Cajun style cooking and it did not disappoint!
The atmosphere is amazing and very romantic.
When you leave the parking garage there is a beautiful oak tree at the front of the restaurant.
Don't forget your parking validation if you self park.
We had an amazing meal with delicious flavors.
Cornbread - must do! It's delicious and more like a dessert. Big enough to take some home.
Tuna tartare - wouldn't order again. Felt like it was more watermelon than tuna. Not worth it
Chicken liver mousse - this was delicious! The flavor was rich with a delicious jam on top. The bread that came with it was also yummy.
Gumbo - delicious 👏
Bistro filet - for a non steakhouse, the quality was surprisingly awesome. The flavor of the sauce and mushrooms was amazing. Potatoes were great.
It's a gem in the city and I highly suggest checking it out for a romantic date.

I visited on a Sunday as it’s been one of the places I wanted to try for a while now. The service was impeccable and the restaurant was beautiful but the Gumbo was not that great.
I thought I’d start with gumbo before ordering anything else. Let’s just say, I didn’t order anything afterwards. It tasted like watery brown gravy. I couldn’t even finish it.
However the service was great. If I have to return, I’ll just sit at the bar for drinks only.

Our experience here was top notch from the beginning to the end. The greeting from valet to our waitress was amazing. Our waitress was attentive without hovering, very knowledgeable about the menu and her recommendations were spot on. We started with the raw oysters which were on sale during happy hour. They were the perfect size, very sweet and so fresh. Shucked right after we ordered them. Then we ate off the appetizer menu. The Dan Dan shrimp were tempura fried to perfection; the cornmeal fried oysters were served with a delicious sauce and the brussel sprouts were a little sweet and the crispy apple slices were a perfect pairing. I didn’t take a picture but I had the bread pudding and it was as close to my former mother in laws as I can remember. Highly recommend this place.

We aren’t huge creole foodies, but this place did not disappoint one bit. We loved our food!
The food and the drinks were all top tier. And we didn’t want for anything, our servers were on their A Game. We have a shellfish allergy in our party and they even made accommodations to the menu and in the kitchen to keep us safe. Well worth the price!
