How do you honor Louisiana being named the 18th state of the U.S? By serving up prime cuts of beef and perfectly paired wine, of course. Savor a juicy steak, cooked to perfection, in the elegant dining room. Or, visit the bar for a stiff pour of your favorite bourbon, scotch or whiskey, while admiring the burned scotch and whiskey barrels adorning the ceiling.
Service quality varied significantly, with some servers receiving high praise while others were described as inattentive or unprofessional.

Value for Money
Many customers felt the prices were too high for the quality of food and service received, leading to disappointment and a reluctance to return.

Great place inside L'Auberge Casino. Attentive staff and great offerings. Love how they always serve a marrow with the steaks and let you pick a steak knife from the box. Great drink menu and wine selection.

I have to give this place a 1 star. As a frequent diner, I was treated poorly by Jeremy. Please read the email below, as I attached it to this review. I’m curious to know how management will address my concerns. Or, if it’ll be ignored again.
Mr. Gavin,
I, Allen ****, am a frequent diner at 18 Steakhouse L'Auberge Casino. I have some concerns I want to address to you about my experience last night.
Yesterday, November 29th., I had a reservation at 9pm. Jeremy was my server. I was by myself last night. I specifically ordered an August Steak medium rare with no oils and no seasoning (salt and pepper). And I always request for my asparagus to be steam cooked with no oil or seasoning as well.
When my steak did come to the table, it was cooked with oils and brown melted butter on top of it. It also had salt and pepper, too. I didn't eat it, as I told Jeremy that's not what I ordered. Jeremy came back to my table approximately 10 minutes later and sent the steak back to the kitchen for a recook.
After the alleged recook, a guy brought the steak out to me approximately 30 seconds later. It was obvious it was brought slapped on the grill to cool down the brown butter. And it still had salt and pepper on it. And I noticed that after I cut the steak to look at the temperature (medium rare).
After it was sent back to the kitchen, it came back half the size. I'm not sure if it was carved from the part that I cut, but it still was seasoned (pepper and salt).
I asked Jeremy to let me speak to a manager. He told me 10 minutes later that no manager was on shift.
Usually, I settled and eat the steak with salt and pepper with oils, though that's not what I ordered. As a paying customer and frequent diner, I should get what I paid for and not settled. I'm not sure if it's the waiter's fault or the kitchen's, but it's clearly a break-down in communication.
I would like to know how these situations are addressed and handled. Please respond accordingly.

The food was not seasoned all. It's priced to high to taste like nothing. The BBQ shrimp sauce was good but the shrimp tasted like nothing. I definitely won't be going back.

We are new to the area, and my wife and I visited the steak house for a date night on 11/1 at 930p. The best thing about this place was the bread. Our server Christine was pleasant. We sat down in the corner 2 person table by the bar entrance from the restaurant. My wife eventually had to move her chair because a few of the unprofessional workers were squeezing in between the 2 tables as a short cut and bumping/kicking her chair instead of walking around the tables. Our table was close to an employee wellI station so we were able to hear all the personal conversations being had by employees. I ordered the flank steak and my wife ordered the short rib. Im not a fan normally of flank but I figured if a steak house can get this cut of meat right, everything else would be tasty. Not the case here. The meat was tough and less flavorful. The short rib was dry and lacked flavor also! Overall disappointing experience in a steak house listed as $$ on their website. Definitely will not be returning here!
