I have been going to La Louisiane since they opened too many years ago to remember (I was actually their opening night). It has been a favorite since with 2-3 visits per year.I have tried their new menu 3 times now and have to say, after all these years, it is off my go-to restaurant list.They have shifted from true Cajun to a "southern" style menu and it has impacted taste and quality. Better shift would have direction been toward more Cajun dishes with gumbos, po-boys, and other Cajun added to menu... Instead, they added southern style deep fried chicken and ribs... Disappointed.

Amazing food every time!! been going there for 20 years

Just ate here for the first time with two friends and we couldn’t have loved it more. We sat at the bar and the staff were all absolutely lovely. The restaurant was packed but it seemed to be very well managed by all and the staff were relaxed, professional, and personable. We had the hush puppies, Shrimp Magnolia, and a pecan pie. All of which were delicious. The pasta was amazing and the shrimp had a bit of a Cajun kick. We walked out of there planning when to go back.

Took the 13&17 yo and my wife there, the food was excellent, the atmosphere was nice (lively), the Boreale IPA du Nord-Est excellent. Had a great time. I used to go here long ago, often, and while there was no “blackboard” for the weekly dishes like they used to have, it was great anyway. Will go again.

The food is excellent and the service is always great!

The food was so good I was having an existential crisis while eating it. By far the best restaurant I've ever been to and the customer service has always been top notch. Everyone should go here at least once. What an experince.

Menu thinning out, prices going up. They've removed items that made them stand out, and frankly haven't had them available in a long time (alligator, crawfish). Taste was just okay, many mains oddly sweet, if anything. Won't be going back.

Imagine if you will, a plate of Jambalaya so dense, you can't finish it. Tasty alligator appetizers and delicious sweet desserts capped off this indulgent evening with a sweet soundtrack of soul and reggae and a nice beer. I also tried the Hushpuppies, tasty cornmeal dumplings with a tangy sauce. Friendly service and the odd huge flame from the Cajun kitchen makes this an NDG highlight.

Good comfy food, plate size generous.And if you get Maxwell as your sever, the service is just amazing.Drinks and food are very tasty and we'll balance. Service was perfect, good timing in between dishes and making sure you have everything needed, very polite employees and good atmosphere. Great explanation/recommendations on food and drinks.

I haven’t been to La Louisiane since I was a child. I didn’t know what to expect since I don’t remember my last visit. That to say the food was amazing. I had the paneed chicken dish and it was delicious. Along with the bread pudding for dessert. Bathrooms were also in really great condition. This is a great place for a family night or even a date!
