Okay but the chargrilled oysters at The Chimes?? Yeah... they ate DOWN ‍…read more They came out hot, buttery, and loaded with that garlicky goodness. The cheese was melted perfectly on top and the oysters themselves were super fresh -- not fishy at all. I was literally scraping the plate for the extra sauce because it was THAT good. Service was quick and the vibe was chill, which made the whole experience even better. If you go to The Chimes and don't order the chargrilled oysters... what are you even doing?? Definitely coming back for another round.

The last time I ordered the red beans and rice to go it was huge! I ate it for 3 meals but this…read moretime there was only 2 small slices of sausage and less beans & rice so I'm not sure if I got shorted or if I was just lucky the last time! 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.

I couldn't hear my neighbor's conversations and everyone in the building seemed to be enjoying themselves. The mojito was a little too watery for me however the French 75 made up for it. I think my favorite dish overall were the oysters! I will definitely be back to try out other plates

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!

Ruth's Chris really knows how to do steak and lobster RIGHT ‍…read more My steak came out sizzling and cooked exactly how I ordered it -- super tender and full of flavor. You could literally cut it with a butter knife. The lobster was sweet, juicy, and perfectly buttery. Together? Elite combo. The service was top-tier and the atmosphere gave upscale date night vibes. Yes, it's a little pricey, but honestly you're paying for quality and the experience. Definitely worth it for a special night out. I'll absolutely be back

The best steak that I've ever had in my entire life--and I've had a lot of steak…read more Not only did Ruth's Chris provide us with the most phenomenal service, they more than delivered on the food, ambiance and overall experience. I didn't think it was possible to salivate over food while currently eating the food with which you are salivating over--until I dined here. The porterhouse that we ordered was cooked perfectly at medium rare temperature, presented on a bed of sizzling butter and seasoned to perfection. It melted in my mouth and stayed with me long after the meal was over. We also ordered Caesar salad, potatoes au gratin and veal ravioli--all of them being delicious and filling. My favorite side was the ravioli, with its slow-roasted veal and addictive lemon butter sauce. Our waiter Kevin was also amazing and he surprised us with a complimentary cheesecake for the birthday boy of the hour. My husband was happily surprised at the attention to detail and extra thought that went into it. It was his first time dining at Ruth's but it will most certainly not be his last! 11/10 stars!
