I will say it can get a little crowded depending on the time you go.

It's nice and Divey, dark, and moody. Friendly attentive staff. And a frothy Chai for the win!read more

We…read moreoriginally ordered two of everything from the happy hour food menu, but the Jazzy Shrimp was so good that we ended up ordering more. The food was delicious and the drinks were made perfectly. Even better, between 8 drinks and 7 appetizers, our bill was under $100 before tip, which is an amazing deal. The service was great as well, our waitress was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely a happy hour worth checking out!

We came about 5 to have some happy hour (3-6) tastes and cocktails at $5 each. BBQ pulled Pork over crispy nachos with lite bbq sauce, jalapeño peppers sliced, and melted cheese. So yummy and good portion. My daughters drink was a nice red blend house wine that was excellent And I had a delicious Lemon Drop. A cup of their rich flavourful duck gumbo that has a bite, and Ruben sandwich that was fair.... very meaty, with great crispy fries. Staff from front door to table is excellent!

It's downtown so I'd have to also recommend staying at Stella's Airbnb which is right around the corner so walk drink dance and then go back to rest! Perfect night!

We started with an excellent appetizer the crispy duck was just as advertised crisp and delicious, almost like a duck crackling, but keep the flavor and texture of the duck. The poke bowl was wonderful and had their special touch, very fresh and delicious, and the star was the pressed birria sandwich, the filling was so flavorful and surprisingly light. You can sit outside or inside, and this is one of the best vibes and atmospheres I've ever seen with outstanding service, definitely a local restaurant that's relaxing and has its own signature flair.

This is a very popular restaurant. We could not get reservations on the evening we were there so…read morewe were put on a wait list. I never heard back so I called around 6:30 to see if there were any open seats at the bar. There wasn't but the person who answered said the bar seats change over pretty quickly. We took a chance and when we arrived got the only 2 seats left at the bar.Score!! By 7:30 there were plenty of seats at the bar and several tables available. This is definitely a local place and we had a great time talking with the people near us. The food was good. Carpaccio was good but in my opinion there were way too many crispy onions on top that distracted from the dish. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. The escargot were tasty. The octopus was tasty but the few tiny pieces on the plate were really weak for the price. I had a Malbec that was delicious.

It would not have been a success without, of course, the gorgeous and functional space ... but most importantly because of the staff and event planner, Denise.

We all know location is important, but it's the staff of Warehouse 535 that make this place specular. Only wished I lived in Lafayette to check it out more!

This place came highly rated on our trip to Lafayette and was my favorite meal of the trip (which…read moreis saying a lot considering how good the food was overall). We started with cocktails - my fiance got the shoulder lean which was bourbon with lots of peach - I am usually not a dark liquor drinker but even I enjoyed my sip. Due to my occupation and love of tequila I got a seasonal drink, 'your therapist' which was maybe one of my favorite cocktails ever. It was light but also tart and tequila forward. We started with the roasted oysters and focaccia. The focaccia was not bad but the oysters stole the show. My fiance had steak and I had half shell red fish, and then we split the duck fat potatoes and green beans. I loved the spice and sauce on the fish, and the potatoes and green beans were great compliments to them. My fiance reported his steak was a little salty but he still inhaled it all! We didn't think we had room for dessert but with urging from a local friend we got the donut bread pudding which was paired with a delicious ice cream. With such heavy delicious food we were full but the dessert was a smaller size which was perfect. The place is busy as it clearly is a staple in Lafayette food culture, but it is clean and sleek. Our server was attentive and sweet.

When you walk in you feel like you are being transported to Italy! Trust me when I tell you to get the marinated olives!! They will change your life. The lamb was so tender and flavorful probably my favorite dish along with the side of squash. Every single bite of food was packed with so much freshness and flavor. The crab spaghetti was devine. We have already made to trip to eat here a 2nd time and plan to visit again in the future. If you are in Lafayette this is the place to eat a good meal that will have you saying WOWWWW after each bite.

I stepped it up a notch by dipping my bites of steak into her sauce and my mouth was exploding w delight! If you're a bourbon/whiskey drinker, they have more than enough options to choose from.

This being a roadtrip this time around I took advantage of the full kitchen versus using my camp stove. With both fructose and lactose malabsorption it's very comforting to cook for myself. And having access to a full kitchen allowed me to make a rice and steak dinner and then in the morning make a cup of rice for the road, plus hard boil chicken and duck eggs I gathered the day prior. The duck eggs were fantastic! Just like in 2023, the Cajun jam night on Wednesday didn't disappoint. Such great music and wonderfully friendly people. One experience I was hoping to relive from 2023 was the ghost encounter in the balcony room; ghost sat on my feet! Unfortunately this go around in 2026, no ghost experience so just be aware there is a spirit, albeit a friendly spirit, inhabiting the Blue Moon. This isn't just a place to stay but a place to experience. We look forward to coming back.
