Ramsays Mansion Restaurant

Outstanding atmosphere. Attentive service. Seated in veranda with wonderful view of grounds.
Crabcakes to start. Plenty of crabmeat and very tasty.
I had the double cut pork chop (huge) which was cooked to perfection. Fresh vegetables were a nice complement to pork chop, well seasoned and perfectly done.
Mardi Gras pasta was incredible. Loaded with sausage, chicken, and shrimp. Perfectly seasoned and generous portion.
Peacemaker poboy had generous portion of shrimp and oyster. I tasted one of each and they were excellent.
Berries Anglaise for dessert… wow!!! Cream sauce was perfect complement to berries. Not too sweet so it just brought out flavors of berries without overpowering.
Coffee is French press and was the perfect finish. Well worth the effort and it was noticed on first sip that this wasn’t just brewed coffee.
Service was top notch, very friendly and knowledgeable about menu. Both the Chef and manager came to the table to check on us which is a nice touch not done often enough by many restaurants.
Prices are very reasonable and generous portions. Quality ingredients.
Wife and I are staying onsite and the entire experience here has been… well perfect. I think we have found our new weekend hideaway.

Bananas foster martini. Duck gumbo. Garden fresh veg sides, rosemary bread, and shrimp/​grits, broiled seafood platter. Amaze-​balls

I ordered the jumbo crab cakes and my hubby got the barbecue shrimp and grits… food was good here… the waiter’s assistant was a bit inexperienced though. It’s OK, they are all nice people.

Get anything, you won’t be disappointed.
By the time we got to Nottaway we were at the end of our trip and wanting to be more frugal. We got the shrimp étouffée and shrimp and grits for dinner (shrimp dishes were the cheapest) but delicious! We also got two desserts, pecan chocolate pie and bananas foster cheesecake. Do it.
Trying to be frugal again we went to a local grocery, butcher boy grocery 6 miles away, and got a bottle of wine to consume throughout the evening and champagne for the morning instead of paying for drinks at the hotel. No corkage fee, no fuss over needing glasses, corkscrew at the bar.
We went over a holiday weekend but not days when there was a wedding there, I’d imagine it would be a different experience if they were full from a wedding while you stayed there.

A great location for a wonderful meal — we were seated so that we looked out over the pond and the huge old oak. We also had the company of a heron who watched us as much as we did it. I enjoyed the Pan seared blackened redfish and boudin sauce with mashed potatoes, fresh green beans, and a crab and brie bisque that was wonderful! Tim did a good job of taking care of us, explaining the menu and option. My dessert was a chocolate pecan pie tartlet (lots of crust in a tart which is close to heaven) — sigh!
We were not hurried through the meal, relaxed and savored each bite. The staff was attentive but not hovering. A great experience!

Food was good, service was okay somehow the process forgot the appetizer and miss the details on the Po boy. But they split everything perfectly in the kitchen

Ate there last night and had an excellent meal. The waitress was somewhat inexperienced and service was fairly slow but we were in no rush. This is the second time we’ve eaten there and had excellent food both times. I had the rack of lamb and my wife had the blackened redfish with Boudin dressing. The location in a beautiful antebellum mansion adds to the ambience. Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant for a Southern style meal with an interesting location. The prices are also fairly reasonable given the quality of the food and location.

Dinner on a Saturday night. Started with a drink at the bar. friendly, pleasant setting. Dinner in the glassed in area. The food was great, crab and Brie bisque, strawberry salad, then the Cajun three and Grouper. Food the best we’d had in Louisiana. Service was pretty poor to start with. With only 6 or so tables taken in the restaurant you’d think the wait staff wouldnt have to ask «have you been helped yet?» as we sat wondering if the bread would be the only food we’d get. On asking what type of fish was a «redfish» I was told, «well its a kind of fish» (I had worked that out for myself). Moving onto the wine. We asked about the local Muscadine from the Amato winery «I don’t know I haven’t tried that» it’s somewhat perplexing to have to ask «well can you find me someone who does know about it then». A taste arrived and we decided against it. opting for Sterling Sauvignon Blanc instead and then watched her try to massacre the cork. Nige took the bottle off her and opened it himself. otherwise we’d be straining pieces of cork through our teeth… A great meal, let down by poorly trained staff who, if they knew the details of the menu weren’t able to speak to it, or open a bottle of wine.

Good food and friendly staff. Would go back!

I had a quick bite (nothing is quick in the south) sitting in the lovely setting in a glassed garden room over looking the landscaped grounds. Everyone knows that NOLA is the dining Mecca, but I wanted to travel a bit out of the big easy to check out some of the farm to table scene Plantation style high society dining.
