"The Spotted Horse is a dining experience unlike anything else
in this region," said Ted Bogich,
Senior Vice President of Operations for Boyd Gaming (NYSE: BYD),
owner and operator of Evangeline Downs. "With modern takes on
traditional Louisiana flavors,
offered in a beautifully designed and whimsical setting, the
Spotted Horse gives customers another great reason to visit
Evangeline Downs."
Inspired by an urban legend of a "long-necked spotted horse"
(i.e., a giraffe) winning the race by a neck, the restaurant's
flair for the fantastic is reflected throughout the new space. The
multi-faceted experience features a tavern on one side, perfect for
sipping a local brew and enjoying down-home cuisine; and a
full-service restaurant on the other.
Dining selections range from Southern staples to innovative new
dishes. Small plate starters include chicken and sausage gumbo,
citrus-glazed pork belly and prawns, and crawfish and corn bisque.
The impressive entree selection includes favorites like fresh
Louisiana catfish and
country-braised short ribs, as well as dinner-for-two selections
like beer can chicken for two and a certified Angus Beef tenderloin
for two. Finally, guests can finish the meal with a diverse dessert
menu that offers something for every sweet tooth, from the light
and cool berries and cream to the rich and decadent warm bread
pudding.
The restaurant's signature whimsy shines in the collection of
hot sauces. A menu of nearly 20 hot sauces is available for
customers to pair with their dishes, including ghost pepper and
blueberry, habanero carrot curry, and serrano ginger
lemongrass.
The Spotted Horse is the latest installment in an ongoing effort
to enhance amenities at Boyd Gaming properties across the country.
