Beauchaines 211: Reviews & Ratings
I haven't been there in a very long time. Never had a bad meal. I just don't eat after 4 pm. Have known Patrice for a long time and she is still running the show. Must be doing something right
We called them last minute with a party of 15 for a wedding and they didn't blink. Had a room off to the side, dinner was timely and well done. Would highly recommend them to anyone who needs to celebrate something.
Went to Beauchaine's last night for Jim's birthday. Jim ordered the scallops. They were wonderful and I don't usually like scallops. I had unicorn fish; it was fabulous, served with a fresh mango salsa and fresh green beans!!! We also shared fried oysters and fried brussel sprouts as appetizers. The Brussel sprouts were seasoned with pieces of ham, a sweet and salty delight! Our friends thoroughly enjoyed the stuffed flounder. The four of us shared a large piece of tiramisu with a lit candle in the middle to celebrate Jim's birthday. It was a lovely evening; with great food and service!
I'd heard of beauchaines for years and finally tried it for myself. We ordered the brussels, the salmon, the coq au vin, and the Patrice pasta with shrimp. The appetizer came out quickly and was a large serving. The flavors were delicious and we all agreed we'd order it again. My favorite of the mains were the salmon and the coq au vin, although, all three were delicious. The prices were high but the food, view, and service made it worth it for a nice meal out.
We tried this place once and will definitely be back. It was a super slow night, and service was fast enough and friendly enough. We had the Cajun oysters appetizers which was absolutely delicious. I could have made a meal on that alone. For entrees I got the flounder shrimp cake which was so good. It looks like a ton of food but I was able to finish it all. The sauce and grits were especially delicious. My boyfriend had the grouper and he just loved it and ate all of his as well. We recently bought a place at North Topsail so plan to return here for more Cajun oysters if nothing else.
Not sure why this place has such low reviews on yelp when on Google they have a 5 star rating. I went here with my Boyfriend and best friend and we had a great time. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was expertly prepared and worth the price. I would have to say that the dish that blew me away the most was one of the dishes that my boyfriend got. It was the fried green tomato caprese. I would have never thought to have used fried green tomatoes for a caprese salad but it worked well and I am kinda mad that I didn't get it as well. If they have it on the menu next time I go to this place I will get it. Also, we were blown away with how fast our quality food came out.
