  2. Mr. Peet deserves the recognition. Congratulations!
    The food at Bas Rouge certainly is excellent. And, it’s been consistently fine each time I’ve visited.
    Too bad about the service though.
    Last time they started cleaning tables around us with spray bottles before we had finished our meal. Crazy.
    But the food, exceptional. I’ll be back.

  3. One of the best dining experienced I have ever had. Worth every penny. The staff, the food every detail was exceptional. Can’t wait to enjoy this again soon.
