If you’re stuck deciding where to eat during Restaurant Week, stop looking at the restaurant names and start following the sauces. Creamy, spicy, buttery, wine-soaked, hollandaise-drenched—this group of menus is doing the absolute most, and honestly? That’s exactly what the last days of Restaurant Week are for.

La Contea ($45)
This menu is built for people who read descriptions closely—short ribs in creamy chipotle sauce, seafood manicotti baked in vodka sauce, blackened fish finished with crawfish hollandaise, and cocktails that literally replace dessert if you want to end the night responsibly… or not.

Beausoleil Coastal Cuisine ($40)
Every dish here comes with a little drama—in the best way. Gumbo pot pie under puff pastry, crab claws swimming in garlic parmesan butter, sesame-crusted tuna with sweet soy glaze, and a coffee-brined pork chop that proves sauces are the real main character.

City Pork Jefferson ($35)
This is comfort food that knows how to show off. Duck breast crostinis with blackberry serrano jelly, reuben egg rolls with Russian dressing, fried chicken cutlet smothered in bacon brown gravy, and bread pudding with bacon praline sauce because restraint is overrated.

Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar ($65)
This is your “go big or go home” menu—cabernet demi-glace on a filet, Danish blue cheese butter, barbecue-glazed salmon, and optional upgrades that turn dinner into a full commitment (yes, the sea bass is worth it).

Mike Anderson’s – Lee Drive ($50)
Classic Louisiana indulgence done loud: bacon-wrapped shrimp with apple glaze, Kickin’ Tails tossed in sweet chili sauce, surf & turf with a stuffed potato, and lemonade pie that somehow resets your whole mood.

City Slice ($20)
Proof that Restaurant Week doesn’t have to be fancy to be fun—wings, build-your-own pizza, cookie pizza, cinnamon pizza, and zero pressure to overthink anything. Sometimes the sauce is buffalo, and that’s enough.

Restaurant Week is almost over, and these menus are not playing it safe. Follow the sauce, pick the plate that sounds the messiest (in a good way), and get in the door while these prices still exist.
