Had an amazing dinner with a friend last night. We were 45 mins late due to a car issue but they graciously accepted us anyway even though when we arrived it was near closing. The service was perfect & our server was so friendly! My friend & I both had the Hurricane drink & it tasted just like the one I had in New Orleans, very tasty & full of rum! The food we had was also AMAZING! We had the hush puppies, spinach dip, blackened chicken & bbq shrimp & it was all delicious. We're looking to go back next weekend lol
Hadn’t been here in while (probably just before COVID lockdowns) had always enjoyed previously so decided to give a try. To sum it up average to disappointing. They seem to have lost their mojo. We were 2 couples, we all had crab cakes for app I had the famous fried chicken, 2 people had the shrimp & 1 had the firecracker shrimp (nice of them to make it, it’s no longer on the menu) & we finished with bread pudding. We all ate talked & did the normal supper stuff. Thanked the staff , paid & left the restaurant. As we are walking down Sherbrooke street the person who always raves about La Louisiane says, how did you like your meal? She starts off with I was disappointed, the group all agree. Not sure what it is exactly, but something was lacking in terms of freshness & flavour. Unlike prior visits, everything was average at best. Even the bread pudding which is usually a crowd pleaser was ok to bad (way too much chocolate drizzle). Nothing to complain about on service side. I don’t think it was just us, it was a Saturday night & the place was not packed. It’s too bad, because this place used to be really good. Here is to hoping they get their mojo back.
Carte courte. Peut de choix typiquement de cette partie de la planète. Les moules étaient sablonneuses & la portion servie serait plutôt digne d’une entrée. L’aération du resto laisse à désirer, soyez certain que vos vêtements sentiront pendant plusieurs heures après votre visite…
Très bon restaurant, l'endroit idéal pour vivre une expérience du sud des Etats-Unis, j'ai eu un gros coup de cœur le poisson noircie ( morue) , le gumbo & le cocktail cajun ( limonade). Les portions sont assez généreuses!
Poor lighting, sticky floors in the bathroom, served ice cold ribs, music too loud, most of the food tasted like Frank's Red hot & was under seasoned, all this for over 100$ for two people with one entree, one main & four drinks. Will not be back & cannot recommend.
I was having a terrible day & the staff here took care of me so well! I had the crab cakes, the paneed chicken & some kind of awesome chocolate pecan thing for dessert. The food was phenomenal & the people that work here went above & beyond, truly. Vibrant atmosphere, cozy comfort food done fancy. Highly, highly recommend for any occasion or just because :)
