We got some cocktails and they were the delicious. As this place is also a cafe, the espresso martini was perfect! I love the aesthetic of the outside and inside. It's always so cozy and nice.

He recommended several local brews and food options, and somehow we ended up having one of those conversations that makes you feel like you've known someone longer than five minutes. We talked about traveling, different beers, Louisiana, Ohio, Atlanta, and everything in between. My favorite part of the conversation had to be hearing about the brewery owned by three Japanese women who live in Brazil. That's a story I definitely wasn't expecting when I sat down for a drink! As for the food, it was incredible. I had the seafood gumbo, which came loaded with a crab cluster and crawfish tails, and I also tried the blackened alligator. Both were amazing and full of flavor. The atmosphere was great, the beer selection was excellent, and the service made the whole experience even better. I genuinely can't wait to go back to The Chime! If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try. 6/5 from me!

The taste was still good! I ordered the seafood pasta too but wasn't fond of the fishy smell and taste. The sauce was thin and runny as well. The little French bread that comes with the meal is delicious and I'm not a bread eater! The packaging and service is very safe and clean! Yes, I recommend this place! Cheers!

I think I found a hidden gem in Lafayette. My dear friend wanted to bring me out to celebrate my…read morebirthday. We drove from Alexandria la to Lafayette today. We walked in, and a server said we could find an empty seat. We were greeted by our server and ordered drinks and appetizers. My drinks were a coke and an espresso martini. My espresso was made to perfection. Our appetizers were the BBQ BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP..... Bacon wrapped shrimp in a savory NOLA style butter BBQ sauce which was delicious. We also ordered the BRISKET FRIES. Smoked brisket, pepperjack, cheddar, Cajun BBQ, chipotle aioli, and green onion. I swear those cheese fries were the best cheese fries I've ever eaten in my entire natural born life. Wow wow wow. I sat in shock about how good they were. We ordered our entrees I ordered the GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST...... Chargrilled chicken breast,', with grilled veggie medley and roasted fingerling potatoes. It was so delicious. My friend ordered the REDFISH VERMILION. Grilled redfish topped with crawfish etoufee, served with chargrilled asparagus. I tasted some of her dish. It was yummy as well. Our server was nice and kind and treated us well as he maintained the bar. The atmosphere was laid back and it seemed everyone enjoyed being there. It was our first time and we definitely will be back.

Our server, Kate, was outstanding. She was friendly, attentive, and gave us excellent…read morerecommendations. She suggested the pork chop, and it ended up being the star of the meal. The pork chop was cooked perfectly. It was juicy, incredibly tender, and honestly tender enough to cut with a fork. It had a great char from the grill that added so much flavor, and the pickled peppers on top cut through the richness of the pork perfectly. The dirty rice underneath reminded me of my mom's rice dressing and soaked up all the juices from the chop. It was one of the best pork chop dishes I've had. My wife ordered the smoke fried chicken, and it was also excellent. The crust was crispy while the chicken stayed juicy and flavorful. The sweet potato biscuits were light and delicious, and the pepper honey tied everything together nicely. For my taste, it leaned just a little on the sweet side, but it was still a very enjoyable dish. My daughter ordered the Social Cheeseburger with just meat and cheese. She loved it, and I was impressed too. Even with such a simple order, the burger was juicy, well seasoned, and served on a fantastic bun. She and my wife both could not stop talking about the hand cut fries. They were crispy, perfectly seasoned, and some of the best fries we've had in a while. From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. We left very impressed and will definitely make a point to stop here whenever we are in the Lafayette area.

This is one of my Wife and I's top 5 favorite places in Louisiana…read more Their menu as far as apps and main dishes go can fluctuate. More specifically their flatbreads and loaded fries, which I do not currently see on their website. Most of the time they have loaded fries which in the past have consisted of gravies and sauces. One preparation we ordered came with pickled okra. The fried green tomatoes are also very good, especially to start with or share. As far as main dishes go we have tried the following: All Hail Caesar (Flatbread) Spicy Chicken Sandwich Smoke Fried Chicken-N-Biscuits Social Cheeseburger The Mac n Cheese is a must get as a side in my opinion. One of the first times we visited they had carrot cake as a dessert, we still talk about that carrot cake today. If you are a sweet tea lover this place has a twist which I love. Their sweet contains brown sugar and mint, get it, try it, it's delicious.

This was my first visit to Pamplona Tapas Bar, and I really enjoyed the experience. We were able to…read morewalk in without a reservation, and our server, whose name I unfortunately cannot remember, was very helpful with navigating the menu and deciding what to order. We tried several dishes, including the Castilian mushrooms, duck fat fries, Gambas al Ajillo, and hanger steak. The char grilled oysters were also a special that evening, so of course we had to try a half dozen. Everything was delicious, but the hanger steak and shrimp were definitely the standouts for me. I really enjoyed being able to order several smaller plates and experience a little bit of everything. The food was flavorful, the service was helpful, and there are still several things on the menu I want to try. The lamb sliders are already on my list for my next visit. Pamplona was a great first experience and definitely a spot I will return to when I am back in Lafayette.

First time here...overall we left a little disappointed…read more My soup of the day, which the waiter said was tomato crab bisque, turned out to be crawfish. It was not bad, but it was very salty. My wife and I got two of their craft drinks, both were incredibly sweet. Neither of us drank them, but when we told Kyle the waiter about it he said "yea those are two of our sweeter drinks on the menu and they're made to be like that, you should have asked me if you didn't want something that sweet". There goes $30 right down the drain, thanks for the help Kyle. If you've want a quick stop for wine and a few overpriced appetizers maybe it's ok, but know what you're getting into. I wouldn't come back here, personally. Service meh, food meh, overall meh.

This place is cool! I couldn't really get a read on the vibe in there it's very eclectic haha!…read moreThe food was amazing I got the Pink Pony Club and outside of the sheer amount on bread LOL it was good!! I had to take out one of the pieces, as 3 is just too much personally. I would say, outside of the herb sauce, and the prosciutto I really am not sure why it's $18. That's threw me off a bit. Do I think it's worth the money? Not necessarily, but I would go back with friends to try it all again. The service was okay, we were not checked on a whole lot. I had to remind her about a sauce I wanted. Mind you the restaurant wasn't busy, so that was kind of meh. However when at our table she was very kind and helpful! When we walked in we were just sort of stared at by the host , we were asked like "how many" or "how are you" so we walked in and made eye contact and we waited a couple of seconds and I told him 3 please and we got seated! I'm somewhere between 3/4 stars for this one!

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.
