* Dear Chef,
Thank you very much for a fabulous meal and truly enjoyable evening. I have raved about the restaurant to everyone I have talked to -- and I probably haven't even broken the surface of the true dining experience I had. The service was impeccable -- formal yet friendly. The courses were well-timed and beautifully presented. And the taste -- perfect. Thank you for your attention to detail. Most sincerely,
Tiffany D. Blasdel

* Dear Gentlemen,
My husband and I stayed at your hotel last July, and had one of the finest meals we've had when we dined at Dominique's. It was a most memorable evening, the service was friendly and attentive, and our meal was incredible! We've eaten at many fine restaurants in Europe, New York and California ... and Dominique's will rate as one of our best. We hope to return in the near future.

Thank you so much for an incredible evening at Dominique's ... The whole experience: meal, wine, service, and ambiance, far exceeded our expectations. Your wait staff is very attentive and very knowledgeable of your menu. Our server and waiter were fantastic and made us feel welcome even at the late hour we chose to dine.

Again, thank you for a wonderful dining experience. We look forward to our next trip to New Orleans and the chance to dine at Dominique's. In addition, we will recommend your restaurant to everyone we know that will be visiting New Orleans to experience your lovely fare and atmosphere.
