Amazing patio space that is great both rain or shine - it's also dog-friendly, so your furry friends can come along. If beer isn't your style, check out Bayou Wine Garden - they share the same address. They also have great bar food at the Beer Garden and fancier small plates at the Wine Garden.

Food Scene
Great breakfast and brunch spot, within walking distance. It can get a bit crowded on the weekends, but just pop into the Jockey next door to get a mimosa while you wait!

If you have access to a car and can only see one plantation home during your stay here, Oak Alley is the one. The view of the alley of centuries-old live oaks is iconic and has been featured in multiple movies. The interior of the house has been stunningly restored after years of neglect. There's also a restaurant on site after you finish your tour.
