Vestal Restaurant - (Near Lafayette, LA)

5 /5 Emily Paré: Jess from the coffee + wine bar recommended us to try out Vestal after our latte and wine @ Carpe Diem... So glad we did! The aesthetic of the restaurant was stunning! Attire was casual to dolled up, which was nice as we didnt have a reservation or plans to have last minute bites here. The 4-star on the food was only on the Focaccia bread... it was soft but flavor was just slightly lack luster. The crab cake and meatballs + cocktails were on point! Molly our server was so great! Shes got the most cheerful personality and loved her recommendations for food/drinks.

5 /5 Celia Giancola: Dycie (our server) and Cam (bartender) were both amazing and helped to make our experience as amazing as it was. The food was incredible and the restaurant is beautiful. It’s a pricier place but absolutely worth it! The happy hour was super reasonable and definitely a great way to get the experience for a lower cost. I would recommend this place to anyone and we will definitely be back

2 /5 Walt Sittig: I chose to have my bday dinner here, huge mistake. I order the whole fish, fish was cook really good but I couldnt enjoy it because the sauce and extras made my food disgusting . The fish was drowned in a SALTY Soy sauce, then they added capers (more salt) and green olives (even more salt) my friend had the crab spaghetti which had no taste no salt i guess they use the all the salt on my dish.

5 /5 John Lin: A perfect fusion of American classics and Louisiana dishes cooked over open wood-fueled flame , served up in a comfortable and modern concept. Came on recommendation from two different locals who said this was the best restaurant in Lafayette. We were not disappointed. Reservations were needed, but the hostess was able to accommodate us by the kitchen. It worked out GREAT. Was able to see the chef Sullivan and his crew perform their magic on each of the dishes. Every member of the staff was very friendly - from the hostess, servers, chef, our waiter Zach, and the general manager Aaron. Just get two orders of the Roasted Oysters to start. Trust me on this one. Even the Mac and Cheese was delicious! The creme brulee was delectably perfect. Get it! If cocktails are your jam, you wont be disappointed with the selection. My only gripe was that it was very loud on a Saturday at 7 PM. Felt like it was a night club. Made conversation challenging at times. If you need to change diapers, the unisex bathrooms will have accommodations for your baby. A thoughtful touch. Will definitely return if I ever come back to Lafayette.

3 /5 Aliyah Doucet: The food was mid, I would not say it is the tastiest food I’ve ever had. The steak was really great, but the mac and cheese noodles were hard. Mallory was our waiter and she was not very attentive to our table. She walked right past our table every-time she went to check on her other parties. This was a very rude customer service experience and we expected great customer service at such a higher quality establishment, we were so disappointed.
