" Ernest's has earned a permanent spot on my must-visit list! My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary there, and we loved every minute of it. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was romantic. Each dish we ordered was delectable. The crab claws were fresh and flavorful, and the dessert was heavenly. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking forward to visiting Ernest's after hearing great things, but it turned out to be a mixed bag. While the ambiance was charming and the service started out strong, it quickly declined as the night went on. My steak came out overcooked and the waiter seemed overwhelmed. I did enjoy the crab claws, which were the highlight of the meal, but overall the experience fell short of my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Ernest's enough! I went there last month for a work event and was blown away by the quality of the food. We had everything from crab claws to filet mignon, all cooked and seasoned to perfection. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to accommodate our large party. The atmosphere was lively with the piano player adding to the charm. It was a night to remember! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, when it comes to fine dining in Shreveport, Ernest's is a real contender. The portions were generous and the dishes well-prepared. I ordered the steak, and it was really well seasoned and tender. The atmosphere was classy and charming. The only downside was that it took a while to get our dessert, but it was well worth the wait!
