st. john restaurant

had a really good meal this past weekend.  i had the crab cake as an appetizer.  it was devine!  i highly recommend the crab cake.  i also ordered the stuffed crab and stuffed potato.  the stuffed crab was okay; the stuffed potato was delicious.  my husband had the grilled stuffed tilapia and sweet potato.  the stuffed tilapia was huge, but a little on the dry side; the sweet potato was baked perfectly.  staff was very attentive and friendly.  the owner walked to each table to check on the patrons.  i really like thisplaceand will go again.  i'll just keep trying different things until i find the perfect combination for my meal.  fyi:  we went at 7:00 p.m. on a friday night and there was quite a line.  fortunately we had reservations, but even with the reservations, we were told we would have a 20 minute wait and it did not matter that we had reservations.  fortunately some people got up just then and so we did not have to wait 20 minutes.  it appears that the owners are a little overwhelmed with their success but it is clear that they want to give their diners a great experience.

st. john's is the kind ofplaceyou take a friend on their first trip to louisiana. the sites around st. martinville are true to the heart of cajun country and the food at st. john's is on par ,if not above, to that of grandma burleigh. a true gem and now st. john's is on the bayou teche.
