The Unofficial Guide to New Orleans, 2003 writes:
"Alex Patout's is one of very few restaurants in New Orleans that cooks the food of the Cajun country. On the other hand, Alex's cooking has an almost gourmet finish in many dishes, which is an accomplishment - Cajun food doesn't much lend itself to fancy service. Although the chef uses a lot of cream and butter, he also likes things like crab fat and tasso."

Zagat 2004 notes that this "upscale but not expensive" Cajun-Creole restaurant where a "friendly" staff serves up 150-plus wines and "consistently good specialties "made by real bayou chefs" within "elegant" surroundings.

"We love the food at Alex Patout's and find ourselves at the northshore location 3 times a month. My husband is a huge fan of the Louisiana Won Ton and I like the stuffed green peppers. I don't think we have ever had a meal that was less than great. The staff at the northshore location are the best. That's a big endorsement coming from someone who eats out 2-3 times a week"
Pat Wickens of Covington

"The food was very good. the service is excellent! and the music - it doesn't get any better than Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington!! My favorite CD!"
Dr. M of Michigan

"I have been sailing around Mandeville for many years and went into your restaurant last night for the first time. We had been sailing and wanted a great end to such a beautiful Sunday. . . and we were not disappointed. We were probably not properly dressed as sailors tent to get, but the stafff was helpful and we agreed to sit a little out of the way so as not to disturb other folks. Food was wonderful! Thanks again for a perfect ending to a great day."
Claude Lafleur of Baton Rouge

"I have been to both locations of Patout's. Both excellent."
Bruce of Destrehan

Wonderful Idea! I would like to express my appreciation for your offering the Louisiana Tasting Menu. I enjoyed a wonderful dinner on Tuesday evening. The 4 courses were delicious. The portions were just right for the selections. I did enjoy some wine with my dinner. Kenneth was the Waiter who provided very good service. Thank you,
Steve McDonald
