Du Jour: Chef David Reyes, Ramsay’s Mansion Restaurant at Nottoway Plantation

At the helm of Nottoway Plantation’s new upscale eatery, The Mansion, is Chef David Reyes, a Chicago native with a love for Old World cuisine and local ingredients, who’s hoping to lure Baton Rougeans with dishes like duck confit, lacquered veal with marrow on toast and ricotta gnudi. The ambitious young chef and his team have installed a sprawling herb garden and citrus grove to support a rustic, seasonal menu that changes every few weeks.
