While some mentions note a lively vibe that can be loud at times and occasional service delays, the overall impression is of a memorable experience that makes guests eager to return.
Very well decorated resto Louisiana jazzy style! We had cocktails & we tried different dishes like the lobster spaghetti, the steak, jambalaya risotto, cod & jerk chicken! Everything was tasty but some dishes were a bit more salty. Otherwise, great ambiance with live saxophonist playing oldies & recent songs as well!
J'adore le concept de musiciens jazz pendant la soirée, cela apporte une belle ambiance! Le restaurant étant tres occupés avec plusieurs groupes, le service était plus lent que normalement, mais vu l'ambiance & la qualité des plats, nous sommes plus que satisfaits!

Nathaniel was a very sympathetic host. He was very welcoming & friendly. The peach salad, beignet & beef was excellent. The jambalaya was good but too heavy on the salt. Nice jazz ambiance & lovely decor! I recommend!
Nous avons mis 3/5 pour l'ambiance simplement parce que nois étions un mercredi soir 18h & qu'il n'y avait presque personne dans le restaurant mais vers 20h, ça commençait à rentrer & j'imagine que le chansonnier de blues & jazz aurait rajouter une étoile de plus.
Nous croyons aussi que les portions de certains repas auraient pu être un peu plus généreuse. De plus, surveillez vos factures car nos avons pris des drinks dans la période du happy hour qui nous ont été chargé pleins prix... Bien entendu, j'ai vu l'erreur arrivé à la maison. Sinon, overall, c'était une belle expérience & j'y retournerais sans hésite
We had a great time & the food was really good but we were disappointed there were no live bands as promoted. Furthermore, they played all but Jazz music instead taking away from the atmosphere I was looking forward to.
Nice decoration & atmosphere but they only played Jazz music for about an hour so it lost its vibe. Food was good but no wow factor. Will not go back nor recommend it to anyone.
Super endroit pour manger entre amis, les repas étaient très bons & goûteux. Belle ambiance avec de la musique Jazz. Le service était très bien, un peu long à la fin pour avoir notre facture.

« Le Louisiana est bien plus qu'un restaurant, c'est une véritable immersion. En tant que stratège, je suis immédiatement séduite par le décor qui'tient en amour' & crée une base visuelle magnifique. Les saveurs, quant à elles, tiennent leur promesse & nous font voyager.
Mention spéciale pour le live band & l'ambiance jazzy au saxophone : c'est l'âme du lieu. Comme je le dis souvent, il n'y a pas de décor sans sons ! J'adorerais voir cette animation plus régulièrement, car elle complète parfaitement l'ingénierie de l'expérience.
Le service était impeccable lors de ma visite avec une amie. Nous avons adoré nos plats & avons déjà hâte d'y retourner. Une adresse incontournable pour ceux qui cherchent la qualité & l'élégance.
Super expérience ! L'ambiance jazz & blues est incroyable & la musique est formidable. La nourriture est excellente, fidèle à la Louisiane, & les cocktails sont délicieux. Service impeccable - merci à notre serveur camilo, pour son excellent service & son energie dynamique
Le 5 étoiles reviens a notre serveuse Emy
Service incroyable ! J'aurais meme pu mettre 10 étoiles
& cocktails délicieux, au choix du bartender , nous lui avons fait confiance pour des cocktails surprise & nous avons pas ete déçu
Par contre un 4 étoiles pour la nourriture, mon copain a pris un steak, & c etait vraiment un steak dans l assiette il aurait aimer des légumes en accompagnement & le gumbo crevettes trop cuites
& un peu déçu car spectacle de jazz annulé a la dernière minute
Loved the ambiance, beautiful decor & spotless space. Service was quick & courteous, thanks to our host Jeremy. The drinks were great. The food was decent, just not quite what I expected. Still, I'll definitely be back to catch their live jazz band after 19h.

The atmosphere was really nice, there was a group of jazz playing, had a really great night. The service was really good, our waitress Demi had such a positive energy & was genuinely nice.
Very good taste of food. Different culture definitely need to try! Demi was our waitress & she was amazing. The atmosphere was wonderful with the jazz group & their music. Definitely recommend!
We felt like we stepped off the streets of New Orleans: the décor is on point with festive beads, warm lighting, & even an area ready for a live band to bring that Bourbon Street buzz to life.
We started things off right with a complimentary biscuit & honey butter that was pure heaven - soft, warm, & dangerously addictive. Pair that with a couple of cocktails from their massive drink list, & you're off to a great start. (Seriously, whoever's behind that bar knows what they're doing.)
For entrées, we tried the shrimp & grits & the Cajun shrimp tacos - both were flavorful, satisfying, & beautifully presented.
Our mains - the Jambalaya & the Gumbo - had great taste & were packed with that Southern spice, which we love, but came with a little too much rice, which filled us up way too fast. Considering the prices, that did leave us wishing for a slightly more balanced portion.
Now, about that live band: we love that they're keeping the vibe lively, but being seated literally a foot away from them made it hard to enjoy our meal (or conversation). Plus, the music wasn't exactly jazz or anything particularly Louisiana-themed - which felt like a missed opportunity. Maybe save those tables for the dance floor & lean into that NOLA playlist a bit more!
All in all, we really like the concept of @restaurant_louisinana - the vibe, the décor, the cocktails, & the energy are all there. & since the front of their menu proudly says'Constantly reworked', we have faith they'll fine-tune the experience to match the promise of the theme.
This place has all the right ingredients to become Laval's own little slice of the Bayou - just needs a bit of that finishing spice! 🌶?💜💛💚
Went here for the first time with a group of people on Saturday October 25. Reservation was for 2030. As we were waiting for our reserved table I saw many large groups there celebrating birthdays.
Live jazz band, beautiful decor. Music was very loud for us, couldn't talk to each other without yelling.
Food & drinks took a very long time to come out, first round of drinks we received at 2125 our mains arrived at 2200, half the table received main courses while the other half had to wait another 15 minutes. Dessert was served at 2305. Water glasses left empty for long time between refills. Didn't see our waitress for almost an hour so I had to get up from the table & go to bar to refill my own glass, waitstaff went around me as I was pouring my own water behind the bar! Manager just stood there not helping. He didn't help bring out orders or come to any table to make sure things were going well (as this is a newer restaurant this is a must). Our table reservation was for 2030 we paid & left at 2350, on their website under reservations it says'A maximum time of 2hours will be allotted for each reservation. After 2 hours, the table must be released. Thank you for understanding' maybe we needed to place our food order when we made the reservation?
The bathrooms need better signage, as I entered the woman's bathroom there was an inebriated male guest in there with three women telling him that this is women's restroom. Male guest was arguing that the men's had only stall whereas the women's had three. I had to raise my voice at him to get him to leave the women's bathroom.
One of my friends tried to speak with the manager about some issues & she was blown off, was told'I don't have time to hear this, send me an email' Uhm so what is his job then? Doesn't help waitstaff or kitchen, doesn't help customers when they are in need, but he does have time to go out for a smoke break every 20 minutes?
All in all I do not recommend this restaurant, food was mediocre, staff was less than, the manager is absolutely incompetent. This place is run very poor.

The concept is original but work is required to make this a must stop.
Starters were below average, main dish was barely meeting expectations & service was very long - i had ordered cocktails & our glasses (cocktails & water) were empty for a long time.
We sat at 9, ordered the food around 9:30 & reveived our food at 10:45! Our waitress was polite & did her best but overall service was not meeting expectations, very long & simply below average.
Jazz band was a nice touch but we could barely hear ourselves talk (maybe tone down the volume a bit). But it was nice!
I wanted to spend money but they failed to capitalize on that.
Final verdict: Not meeting expectation, food was not spiced adequately (portions were generous).
My overall rating reflects a 4 out of 10 experience & i would not recommend for now.
we were very excited to try this new restaurant in centropolis & had high expectations & all our expectations were met! the service was really good & the owner himself came to check on our experience which is such a rare thing these days!
the food was phenomenal especially the jerk chicken tacos & the crab dip with plantain chips!
the drinks were good & generous in alcohol unlike some restaurants that serve watered down/iced down drinks.
all around amazing experience especially with the beautiful decor & jazz live music
Really nice for the most part (cajun dishes are always nice, really) ; it reminded me of like a Downtown Disney or other theme park restaurant.
Having a jazz band was nice touch.
The service was pretty bad, though - very slow; we got a damged menu; we didn't get water without trying to flag down the waiter 4 times, he seemed new & unfamiliar with the menu but not with a humble vibe either. It was like trying to order fast food in a crowded place.
Dès que l'on mets le pied dans le Louisinana, on est transporté en Louisiane , la deco est épatante, musique jazz & ambiance super cool! Tout ça pour accompagner une cuisine cajun recherchée, un plaisir autant pour les yeux que pour le palais… 5 étoiles bien méritées, j'y retournerai prochainement!
Vraiment trippant comme place ! Bouffe pleine de saveurs, portions généreuses pis une ambiance jazz qui te fait sentir ailleurs. Gros coup de coeur pour le seafood boil. Service super friendly, on va y retourner c'est sûr !
