"Don Villavaso on the Bayou is a perfect hangout, situated right off tree-lined Esplanade Avenue in the heart of Bayou St. John. The large, comfortable patio and cigar area makes for a great post-dinner visit, but it’s also a destination for food — most popular are the charbroiled oysters and steaks, as well as crawfish Sundays and Friday fish fries. Can’t beat the ladies night happy hour, Fridays 5 to 8 p.m." - Lynn Wesley - Coleman
