Loved the restaurant, the service was nice and the establishment had great decor. We arrived just as it opened and I'm very happy that we did, because it got packed quickly. I would highly recommend the fried chicken and waffle, it was delicious. Bring your appetite if you order it though, it is massive! We also ordered the stuffed catfish...it was decent, but I personally couldn't say that I would recommend it. Overall we had a very enjoyable experience.
If you like Creole and you happen to be in the Saint Louis area, this is the place for you. (Also, if you're a Saint Louis local, this is in the old digs of the Chocolate Bar.) The menu at L'Acadiane seems not overwhelming, which means that every dish is honed to spicy perfection. The chef does a great job. I started off with the ribs, which showcase the awesome flavor of the place. I tried the jambalaya, the etoufee, and the crab stuffed catfish, all of which was delicious. The beignets finished the meal off right.
I thoroughly enjoyed this place! At first glance it seems like there's very limited seating, yet there's more seating which is hidden down a hall way in the back.
I ordered a shrimp Po' Boy and it was very delicious. However, I was expecting my sandwich to be overloaded with shrimp. My expectations were based off shrimp Po' Boys in New Orleans so I can see why I didn't quite get what I was assuming would be on my plate.
Food was very good. Drinks are nice and strong. First time trying Redfish and I was very pleased. The corn and greens complimented it perfectly. Service was a bit slow but the staff is very friendly.
The Baileys' restaurant group has done it again! This New Orleans themed restaurant is sure to become a regular haunt for my wife and I.
The gumbo was good, if a little red for my tastes, and the jambalaya was delicious and authentic. My wife enjoyed the fried tomatoes and the chicken and waffles were absolutely amazing (I would argue that they are the best in St. Louis).
The staff were all very friendly and attentive.
The food was amazing. We started out with the calamari and the egg bayou. They were delicious. I had the chicken with cornbread waffle. The chicken breast was a hefty portion with an amazing flavor and the cornbread waffle melts in your mouth. Our server was fantastic and very pleasant. We met Chef Rabbit, she was so sweet and she's very talented. They really deserved more than just 5 stars. I recommend this place time and time again.
Delicious food and outstanding service with upscale cajun/southern food. I love how much of the food is house-made. You can taste the difference in the home-made hot sauce, cucumber ranch, and gravy. The shrimp and grits were amazing, I would put the gravy on everything! I'd love to go back and try the chicken and waffles. Our waiter made great suggestions, was attentive and willing to accommodate our requests.
Absolutely beautiful, cozy space with warming, southern cuisine to match. The jambalaya, shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles were delicious. Went upstairs to the Bailey’s Chocolate Bar for a drink and dessert afterward. Lovely staff and great service. Will definitely be back!
Very good Creole-inspired food. The chicken and waffles and the crab cake po boy were both standouts. Three sazarac was one of the best I've had. Decent prices for an up scale restaurant too. Food service was very slow the night i went but it was a special event and it was SLAMMED so I'll give them a pass on that one. The manager was very apologetic and comped us dessert, so good on them there
Amazing. Some of the best food I've had in St. Louis.
I had gumbo and jambalaya - awesome. Drinks were solid, as well. The chocolate bar upstairs makes for a great nightcap.
Lafayette Square is rapidly becoming my favorite part of St. Louis.
[Ignore the negative Sauce Magazine review from the August issue. That magazine is better than Feast, but both largely harp on the same clichéd themes while celebrating unrefined palates. Why is every one of the 6,000 pizza, beer, and fatty pork belly joints and food trucks continually reframed as something sophisticated, while the interesting concepts are panned? We need a real food magazine in this city.]
The service was outstanding and the dishes were perfectly executed. Be delighted by all the little touches. The back dining room might get a bit noisy from the echoy walls, so you may want to try the front dining area if that could be a problem for you.
If you love Cajun food this is a 'must visit'.
We came Super Bowl Sunday. The Chocolate Bar was closed. We were surprised to find this place, under the same management. I have never been to a more welcoming restaurant with a more caring staff. It was our anniversary, they went above and beyond for is. I am truly moved. We will be returning soon. Great drinks, delightful desert. Thank you.
The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was really nice. It wasn't really loud, but it was only about half full when we were there since it was early on a Saturday night. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. The attention to detail was what really made the visit awesome. Will definitely return.
Everything we ate was delicious! We ordered the chicken & waffle, shrimp & grits & the jumbalaya. For an appetizer we got the tuna tatare. The service was great too.
A random night out with a friend led us to this cute little spot in Lafayette Square. The staff took great care of us, engaged in great conversation, and offered wonderful suggestions on what to eat.
The chicken and waffles was very good. The gumbo and redfish were just okay. They make great Sazerac.
