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!

This was a disappointment. The food was bland & not prepared with any passion for Cajun cuisine. The servers were not particularly pleasant but very focused on pushing drinks & dessert. For such a small restaurant it was extremely noisy. I would not go back.

Nice place & nice people but after reading all the great reviews, I couldn't wait to try their jambalaya. Fail across the board. It was just mushy tomato rice with barely any flavor, not even salt. I don't even remember if there was a satisfying amount of shrimp or andouille because I was just so surprised that they actually served us this. Maybe the mushiness was because it was days old & reheated more than once but that's even worse.
