Long time customers, over two decades. Food has unfortunately continued to deteriorate. Our favourite dish, panned breast of chicken, this last visit had a completely watered down sauce, used to be a rich, creamy roasted red peppercorn that paired amazing with the chicken. There were no veggies on the plate anymore, used to come with green beans. The original dish was the ultimate comfort food. No bread or corn muffins provided anymore for the table. Sweet potato fries changed to large wedges, not great for sharing. Fried chicken also extremely salty. Unfortunately, won't be coming back. Shouldn't have messed with perfection.

Local Resident Forced to Endure Another Flawless Meal
I returned to La Louisiane tonight, fully prepared to find a single flaw so I could finally feel something other than pure culinary bliss. Unfortunately, the kitchen remains committed to ruining my streak of pessimism.
The'Audacity' of the Evening:
The Food: Just as incredible as last time. It's honestly rude. How am I supposed to enjoy mediocre takeout ever again when this level of flavor exists? The chef clearly has a personal vendetta against my willpower.
The Service: Absolutely wonderful. Our server had the nerve to be attentive, charming, & timed everything perfectly. I tried to find a reason to be annoyed, but they wouldn't even give me the satisfaction of a lukewarm water refill.
The Atmosphere: Still perfect. Disgusting.
Verdict: If you enjoy being treated well & eating food that makes you want to weep with joy, I suppose you should come here. Personally, I'm exhausted by the excellence. 10/10, I'll be back next week to suffer through another five-star experience.

It's very rare that you eat at a restaurant that from the appetizer to dessert. Its five stars La Louisiane is that restaurant. Let's start with the appetizers hush puppies that were delicious with a wonderful horseradish red sauce. The beer battered shrimp was fresh. Wonderful tasting. The cornbread was so good. We had to order two orders.

Main course we ordered the Cajun chicken with mashed potatoes. Wonderful! The mashed potatoes are filled with garlic. Lots of butter, the chicken was so soft that you can cut it with a fork. You did not need a knife & it was nice & crispy & spicy on the outside.

Wonderful fried Chicken! & the french fries were nice & crispy. All fresh made. The dipping gravy was delicious.

Dessert we have to eat it all. We started off with banana Foster. Huge portion, delicious sauce. Very good vanilla ice cream. The creme brulee nice & fatty, & the beignets damn. They were good with two sauces caramel & chocolate & the beignet was nice & heavy just like you get in New Orleans which I have been to New Orleans.

This is my new favorite spot to go to. I'm so happy I found out about them. I will definitely be telling people about it, & going back.

Every single dish ordered was bathing in salty tomato sauce. Awful. Very disappointed.

Delivery: jambalaya was good, wish they replaced the zillions of mussels with different seafood though. The shrimps were nice.
Friend chicken was disappointing, too salty & slightly charred.
Bread pudding was delicious. Perfect texture & sweetness with that sauce even after travel time.

My husband & I have been going to this place for over 10 years , this was the first time the food disappointed us. The shrimps were really small & over cooked , the sauces had changed & tasted canned . The sweet potato fries were wedges overly coated in nutmeg & cinnamon so much so I couldn't finish even one. Plus the menu was cut in half , not sure what's going on but it's not the same restaurant as it was ☹? service was excellent but the meal took forever to arrive. Would think twice of going back sadly.

We walked in without a reservation & were able to get a table on the patio. Very friendly service. For drinks, we had the hurricane, Cajun lemonade, & the sangria. They were all delicious, & the lemonade was very zesty. Our apps were the crab cakes & the cornbread. The crab cakes were delicious (make sure to squeeze the lemon onto them it makes them even better) though maybe ask for extra sauce on the side if you like a lot of sauce. The cornbread was delightful, perfect sweetness & wonderful texture & it was grilled which added an amazing flavour. For mains we got the blackened chicken & the Voodoo pasta. The chicken was juicy & the spices were delicious, but the excellent garlic mash nearly stole the show. My favourite dish was the Voodoo pasta. It was spicy & creamy, & the sausage was delicious. I could eat that everyday & be very happy. Finally we ended with the bananas Foster & it was AMAZING. The only thing is if you like a lot of ice cream with your dessert, maybe ask for an extra scoop.

I was invited to La Louisiane for an excellent political discussion. Let's say that the food brought peace to our conversation. That special chicken with the cajun sauce was incredible! The bear was smooth, & the smile that came with the service was super bright. I highly recommend this restaurant. The dessert was amazing!

Je commande toujours les pâtes Magnolia, il y a des crevettes & une sauce rosée d'enfer. Mon conjoint, le Jambalaya. Les petits pains au zucchin en entrée sont délicieux & n'oubliez pas de goûter aux frites de patates sucrées avec les épices cajuns Mmm. Accompagné d'un bloody caesar cajun, vous êtes au paradis. Tout cela avec de la musique Jazz. Je connais ce resto depuis plus de 20 ans & j'espère qu'il restera ouvert encore 20 autres années, merci.

Ce n'est pas mauvais, mais pas très bon non plus! De manière générale, ça manque de finesse. Je ne sais pas si c'est le propre de la cuisine cajun ou c'est la manière du restaurant.

Le pain servi était bon & frais & tout le monde a apprécié les petits beignets cajuns très légèrement épicés.

Les boulettes de crabes étaient très bonnes.

Le guacamole était sans personnalité & servit avec des pointes de pain pita rôties, mais humides. Pas terrible.

Du combo cajun que j'ai mangé, je peux dire que les sauces étaient épaisses, gluantes & au goût mal défini. Le poulet à l'étouffé & le riz du jambalaya étaient secs mais les crevettes cuites correctement. Les légumes dans l'assiette se résumaient à trois ou quatre bouts de poivron.

J'ai apprécié les frites minces & tendres (aux patates douces?) que j'ai goutées de l'assiette de ma femme.

La plupart des convives avaient des commentaires similaires sauf pour une personne qui a grandement apprécié son saumon & la soupe servie en entrée.

L'ambiance est sympathique, mais le niveau de bruit était parfois insupportable, surtout avec la musique qui semblait vouloir enterrer les conversations de plus en plus fortes au fur & à mesure que le restaurant se remplissait.

Le service en général était bon sauf pour l’aide-serveur qui semblait de mauvais poil, qui n'avait aucune façon & était brusque.

Avec une meilleure qualité de nourriture, les prix auraient été raisonnables, mais compte tenu de la qualité, c'est un peu cher.
