Category: Restaurants
Telephone: (318) 869-2101
Address: 6607 Line Ave.
Description: Pronounced “mar-ray,” this unique and new eatery might remind the well-traveled individual of Maré Island, a tropical paradise located near New Caledonia in the Coral Sea. The setting is casual, unique, and inviting. The waitstaff are prepared to show you outstanding hospitality. And the fish, ah, the fish. Fresh, as if just removed from the deep seas. Chilean sea bass and the grouper oscar seem to please the regulars, but ask about the specials. If you desire food more land-based, then order a buttery beef filet or the chicken madeira. Delicious side dishes and desserts promise to round out your meal. Full bar and private dining available. Free valet parking.
