Reviews for The Wine Garden in Slidell, LA
The name of the establishment is deceiving. No real "list"- just 1 or 2 options of each type with no info on where it's from.... (probably because it's all cheap) They have more cocktail options. The food is not well seasoned but the app and dessert weregood- the fish may have been frozen and the green beans seemed canned. Overall it wasn't bad, which is why I'm not giving alower review, it just appears they cut many corners so there is no way I'd call it 5 star food. When we were served dessert weasked about desserts wines, we were told they don't have any, and the owner told the server to recommended a Moscato ???? weasked to talk to him but he never came to the table, even though he walked through the dining room many times. Everything wasclean, even if the decor was a hodge podge of styles. Overall, not worth the month spent, I would highly recommend to them topay for some consulting on their wine list. Read more
I would say the wine part is the weakest. Other than that the food is good and the prices are reasonable. Staff is friendly too... and the location (we sat outside) is charming. Read more
Have been many times. Heard they had a new chef and wanted to get something new. Ordered the fillet special and the stuffed... double pork chop.. only one hostess, bartender,waitress made service a bit slow. Had to ask for refills on the water, it was ahot day and we were thirsty. Dinner took so long we finished both glasses of wine. Finally it was brought out by the manager.Steak was good but needed more seasoning. Porkchop had a wonderful glaze probably from a small torch. However, the meat wascooked to the point where it had no juice and was a bit tough. Pork is safe at 145, this was closer to 160 and well done.Strongly suggest cooking it to a lower temp that is still safe, but much more enjoyable Read more
This was a bad experience. I"ll keep it as brief as possible. It won't be easy. I'll open with this. We were a table of six... who spent a great deal of money here with appetizers, bar drinks, bottles of wine and expensive entrees. We were offered NOTHINGin the way of amends for this terrible treatment. Let's begin. Shoulder shrugging and using the words "I don't know" when itcame to incomplete dishes that should not have been served. Excuses galore with regard to kitchen staff. I have zero interest inthis and staffing problems should NEVER be discussed with the clientele without a willingness to make amends. It's trashy andcheap. If you know you'll be providing a substandard product, show some grace and offer something to improve theexperience. Extreme incompetence when dealing with multiple checks. The word "extreme" is not at all too harsh here. Very timeconsuming with nothing in the way of amends making. At no point did management address our needs/issues/problems etc. This is asmall place and this extremely frustrating experience, unfortunately caused us to be quite vocal in our displeasure.IGNORED. The quality of the food (minus the French fries) was poor. One dish was served incomplete on two points, with noattempts or offers at all to adjust the check and another dish (the grilled fish) was so dry, it might as well have been jerky.It was simply inedible. This establishment is impossible to recommend. Impossible. Read more

My wife heard about this place through a friend. First walked in it seem very nice and relaxing. We ordered a cheese plate that... was very tasty. Then we both got entrees that was super delicious. While eating our entrees a guy started singingblues whileplaying his guitar, it was so nice. Then we got a dessert which was caramel cheese cake. It was amazing as well. The staff wasamazing and atmosphere was excellent. Didnt feel rushed and was an delightfull experience here in Slidell La. I highlyrecommend the Wine Garden!!!! Read more
Love the atmosphere here! They have a really good size patio, but we sat inside for the live music. Most of their wines are on... tap and the perfect temperature. The menu would be great for a vegetarian, but for a vegan, options are pretty slim. I had thered pepper hummus appetizer and a salad. The balsamic dressing is phenomenal and the arugula was seasoned nicely. Great place tolounge, sip wine, and have some lighter fare. Read more
Good experience with staff and a great atmosphere. We won't count this place out over the less than exciting charcuterie ... board. Read more
