121 Artisan Bistro - (Near Lake Charles, LA)

5 /5 YaMetria Byrd: LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE! Awesome place for a date, family dinner or friendly hangout. We sat in the bar area at the high top. Its very intimate and cozy. There was no music at first, which I enjoyed! The music was turned on shortly after wards and was a tad bit too loud. I asked our very friendly and knowledge waitress if it could be turned down and thankfully they did! I appreciated that since I do get migraines from loud music! I ordered the crab cake for my appetizer. At first cut it was very "fishy" but the smell died down tremendously! I want a fan of either sauce but it was flavorful enough to enjoy without anything extra! My husband ordered the wedge salad quickness he devoured! No explanation needed! I didnt know what to order but i knew i wanted beef, so the waitress recommended beef tips and grits! Umm no thank you, I told her. I dont like grits! She recommended i try the asiago potatoes with the beef tips! I said Sure lets try it! So glad I did! The beef was very tender and the potatoes were flavorful and paired very well with the beef tips! It also came with about 10 half cut green beans lol. My husband ordered the Shrimp and crawfish diavolo. He didnt give much review but if he finishes this much then I know he enjoyed it! Hes a very picky eater and hard to please with new entrees! I did say it was AMAZING! Lol. I highly recommend this restaurant!

5 /5 Fred L.: Great date night spot located in the heart of Lake Charles downtown division. Great for comfort food with big portions. Never to disappoint. Staff is very knowledgeable If you get stuck on any menu items. Management was very attentive and showed interest in your enjoyment.

5 /5 Gerrit Lawrence: Wow, not only did I get a chance to tour the restaurant, but was able to talk to the executive chef. The food is out of this world, try the crab cakes they are out of this world. Adding: I tried the shaved ribeye sandwich with sweet potato Frys, what a treat. Service was 5 out of 5 ask for Amy!

5 /5 Jeremy Guerrero: 121 was recommended from a local, and they were spot on. Me and the wife really enjoyed our anniversary dinner and drinks. Taylor, our waitress was very responsive and helpful in our decisions. We will be back again when we in the Lake Charles area.
