Tope La Restaurant 104 North Cate Street, Hammond, LA 70401

"Unfortunately, I am someone who has dietary restrictions, and this was not the place for me. I was led to believe I'd have more options, but I was only able to choose from 2 or 3 items. Which is more than none. However, when spending money on items, I don't prepare the options. we're less than impressive, and even more so was the taste when I ate them. I did visit on a busy night and chose to sit in the bar. My limited intake meal took 2+ hrs, and my order was taken, I was checked on, had to ask someone to remove dirty dishes, and my check was brought. The high top tables in the bar are not a place to sit if you want traditional service or to ask questions - hard for first timers. I have heard lovely comments about this place however it won't be a place I go again. Also want to remind readers I have dietary restrictions and it's just not a suitable place to spend my time or money."

"The best meal we have had travelling south and we’ve tried a lot of places. This is truly a restaurant that does everything right. The service was great. We highly recommend."

"When we walked in the front door there was a hostess and what I assume is a manager. Neither of them said anything, after a minute the hostess said one second. No smile, no greeting, no glad you are here. I even looked at my husband and said they are not in a good mood. We almost left but as we were about to leave, the hostess said you can come this way….. still no sign of happiness. The server was good. Once we got the food, both meat in the dishes were incredibly dry and over cooked. They were busy so I would like to say maybe it was a rough night but I won’t be back to find out"

"Salmon and pecan rice was awesome. 3 out of 3 of us agreed the grouper and bowtie pasta with cream sauce was incredibly bland. I don't know how to do that to fish and cream sauce."

"First visit here. We had the Red Bean Queso! Fantastic! Dipped our bread with it too! My husband had the Crabmeat Stuffed Redfish, and I had the Steak Smoked Gouda Alfredo. Both were perfectly seasoned and delicious! The steak... PERFECT!We will definitely be back! The service was excellent!"
