6. The Guest House Restaurant

This restaurant is located in the Guest House we stayed at in Natchez. We are often a little skeptical about the quality of restaurants associated with hotels. The first night we ate dinner there for convenience mostly, after the Front desk manager at the Guest House said their wraps are delicious. My husband and I both got chicken wraps with some kind of sauce (it was something like swarma sauce). The wraps come with a choice of two sides; I chose the house salad with feta cheese and roasted vegetables. Everything was delicious, with lots of fresh ingredients. It was so good that we went back the next night for dinner. This time we both got something called moussaka (though it was spelled differently than that.) It was pieces of roasted eggplant with a tahini sauce on top and little toasted pita pieces; it came also with the choice of two sides. The moussaka was delicious!As part of our stay at the Guest House, we got to eat there for our breakfasts as well. The food was freshly prepared; the bacon was perfectly done; the fruit salad choice was very good. The service was very fast. If we were in Natchez, we would definitely go back to Farrahâs again.WOW!!! Thank you so much for the detailed review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and your dining experiences while at The Guest House!

We really wanted fried chicken and a server at another restaurant recommended the Pilot House. The menu offered 3 pieces of chicken, rice with gravy and green beans. Sounded like a winner to us. The chicken was quite good, crispy, flavorful and hot. The two sides were pretty terrible. The brown gravy on the rice had absolutely no taste. Even Franco-American beef gravy has some flavor. The green beans were obviously canned French-style green beans. The cook added some salt pork and then cooked the you know what out of them until they were a gross gray-green color. For dessert we had the Pecan pie and it was good, warm, gooey and served with a scoop of praline ice cream.The ambiance is nice and the view of the river is really lovely.

Friends and I had lunch at Cotton Alley on our recent visit to Natchez for the Fall Pilgrimage. The salads were excellent with the house garlic creamy vinaigrette dressing. Also had the grilled chicken breast with sautéed vegetables. The veggies were very tasty, but the chicken was a bit overcooked and a little tough. The plates passing by us looked great. The desserts are made in-house and looked super good...too full to eat dessert tho.

It seems I just couldnât get the food experience right this trip. Roux was not as bad as another restaurant, but it was not great either. Living on the Northshore/ New Orleans area we have no shortage of seafood and therein could be the main problem I had with Roux 61. The food was not horrible, but just nothing outstanding. People seem to love the Alligator sausage cheesecake. I ordered it and my wife and ate about half of it. It was ok and she didnât care for it all. Not sure what makes people think itâs wonderful. It really wasnât, just different. I also had chargrilled oysters and they were on par with a multitude of restaurants I have had at home. They were good! We shared a seafood platter. The catfish I am pretty sure were frozen and fried. The meat was a little mushy in the middle and not flaky like catfish should be. The place was simply average. Nothing was horrendous, but I wouldnât go back. Our biggest issues are servers need training in the handling of dishes and how to place/ remove them from the table. Everyone that handled our plates (2-3 employees) had their hands all over them with food on the plates before sitting down in front of us. Our server reached over our food to place other food down. Not our server, but another one was walking through the restaurant with her hands in her hair!!!! Canât imagine what she we do not in front of customers. Itâs a toss up, try it and you may experience the 4.5 star review place and not my 3 star place.

At Restaurant 1818 you will dine in what was originally the Men's and Ladies' Parlors of the Main House. These two parlors are adorned with period crystal gasoliers. These impressive reproduction chandeliers and wall sconces were custom made for Monmouth

If you are visiting Natchez, Mississippi, whether you are staying overnight at Monmouth Mansion Inn and Gardens or not, you have to make reservations to dine at Monmouth's charming and traditional Restaurant 1818. It is antebellum dining in the original men's and ladies' parlors in one of the South's grandest houses, adorned with authentic period crystal gasoliers. It is a page out of Gone With The Wind, an evening with Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara. Open from 5:30 to 8:30 Tuesday through Sunday, Restaurant 1818 is intimate and elegant with impeccable service and exceptional cuisine. My wife and I started with Gulf shrimp cocktail, chicken and sausage gumbo and Caesar salad with grilled chicken. For an entree, my wife had Gulf grouper with tomato butter sauce. I had a grilled bone-in pork chop with mashed potatoes and sauteed green beans. For dessert, we shared a slice of Bourbon pecan pie with chocolate ganache and a plate of white chocolate bread pudding with Bourbon praline sauce. Rhett and Scarlett never ate so well.
