Tope La

Tope La was an okay restaurant. The food wasn't horrible but the actual restaurant was not the best. The inside of the restaurant had a strange smell and the service took very long. The bathrooms smelled like sewage and the mirror on the wall by our booth was dirty. I got the stuffed redfish and it was okay. I liked the spinach dip on top but wouldn't say it was worth the 30 dollars.

We took my wife's best friend out for her birthday dinner and set the reservation for 730 pm.We got there and got seated. Our waitress finally made it.to greet us around 10-15 after we were seated. Took our drink orders and appetizer orders. We ordered the blackened grilled applicator and it was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Great flavor. The crab and eggplant stack was also a hit two fried eggplant stacked on sauteed spinach topped with a crab sauce.For dinner we had the 6 oz bacon-wrapped filet minor, boiled redfish topped with a lump crab sauce and pecan rice, and the top la country fried steak topped with an andouille sauce on mashed potatoes. All were a hit and cooked to perfection.For dessert, it was the favorite of bread pudding with a side of bananas and topped with a bit of infused sauce and the chocolate mousse cake with a raspberry drizzle. Again, these were awesome.My only issue was that our server seemed to disappear a lot and was hard to find, these were the four stars. Service wasn't bad but could have been better for the price we were paying.All in all, this was a great experience, and my wife's best friend had a great bday dinner.

My wife and I went during her birthday weekend in mid-October. It was a Saturday and we were practically the only ones there.The food was amazing, our waitress (Amber) made wonderful recommendations and the ambiance was so nice. The first hostess that sat us down, I did not care for much, a bit snooty, but the second one was much better and cheery!I am vegan and Amber coordinated with the chef to 'veganize' a plate for me, which I was very thankful for!!! Definitely the best out the so called 'fine dining' ones that we have frequented in Hammond so far.We can't wait to come back for our dinner date real soon!!!

My friends and I gave Tope La a try last week as a post Christmas treat. And what a treat it was! We went midday so we're able to order from the lunch menu. We started with red bean queso as an appetizer. It was something new for us. So delicious. It was made with puréed red bens, smoked sausage and cheese. This came served with a plate of fresh tortilla chips. I ordered the sugar cane salmon which was grilled salmon drizzled with cane syrup. It was tasty. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant and inviting. All staff members were quite friendly. I will definitely be back.

One of the best meals I've ever had. Tournedos Lafourche. If you are in Hammond you should definitely check out this place.

Food was all around amazing from appetizer to dessert I enjoyed everything I put in my mouth! Our service was 10/10 wish I could remember the young lady's name that waited on us she was awesome. The atmosphere and ambiance was also very good had a great time and very much enjoyed all aspects of our meal!

In Hammond for a downtown festival/street fair featuring - among other things - the amazing Marc Broussard. I'd heard about the place through the 'vine and am so glad to have had the opportunity to try their menu. Loved the vibe walking in and landed at the bar - where else, right? Bartender made a nice cocktail and ordered the "Crabmeat Stuffed Redfish" - with an artichoke, sun dried tomato, spinach and Pepper Jack cream sauce. This was very nicely done and I did everything except lick my plate before it was all over. Great meal and would highly recommend this spot for any Yelpers out there!

Wonderful date night me the wife and I. Everything was perfect, on time and the waitress was great. Food was beautiful.

Tope La is our go to restaurant in Hammond for many reasons. The food is amazing and the portions are HUGE!! Get ready to take some of your meal home with you. The chef is a great guy who runs a tight kitchen. Everything comes out hot and fresh. Very creative specials. Their Thursday night Italian Night can't be missed. Thanks for such a wonderful place!!

Good food, most likely will be back. The fried olives are a unique take. Please let them cool off before eating. Very good food
