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.

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 didn’t 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! She’s got the most cheerful personality and loved her recommendations for food/drinks.

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 won’t 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.

I chose to have my bday dinner here, huge mistake. I order the whole fish, fish was cook really good but I couldn’t 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.

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

Awesome dinner in a nice restaurant with interesting cocktails and food. Service was on point, recognizing we had some time constraints and wiring hard to get us out by a certain time. All the food we tried was great. I had both the crawfish bisque and the reddish on a halfshell. I would happily order both again. We visit family in Lafayette and we were delighted when they recommended Vestal for our latest visit.

Vestal is more hype than anything. Service was very good. Food was different but tasty. The spinach/artichoke dip wasn’t the best I’ve had but ok. The grilled oysters were yummy. I had the red snapper. the sauce was spicy. The entrees come with no sides so you have to add on for a minimum of $10/item. I skipped the sides. It was a nice dining experience but be prepared to pay. Drinks are expensive too.

This was a very loud and disappointing experience. Price point is extremely high for the service and quality provided. Medium rare tenderloin was more well done, lump crab add on was dry and we ordered a $14 ceaser salad but received a mixed field greens salad with ceaser dressing and croutons. The fingerling potatoes were the star of the show… Restrooms are unisex, personally I feel this is wrong for my wife or any woman to deal with. I suppose for drinks and tapas this may be a decent place but overall, not impressed, and will not return…

My daughter took me to brunch for Mother’s Day. Ambience , FOOD, waiter was AMAZING! VERY DISAPPOINTED in GM AARON BRINKMAN! He did NOT acknowledge my daughter or myself. I noticed on TWO occasions he asked the table on each side(BOTH white)of us how their food was, and even gave recommendations to the other side of the table, however, my daughter myself sat in between the two tables and not once did he approach us, look at us OR ask HOW our food was!!!!!

This was a pretty good experience. The food was good and the portions are huge. We got a few appetizers, drinks and shared an entree. The appetizers and entrees were both very good. They were also very good if you have a shellfish allergy. The service was excellent and our waiter made sure we were well taken care of. Their specialty cocktails were very good but I probably would not recommend going outside of the cocktail menu as the more traditional cocktails we ordered were just not as good. Overall a good experience and would definitely be happy to go back ago.
