Went here for the first time and I was impressed. Everything we had was amazing. Crab meat crepe, rack of lamb and veal oscar were all phenomenal. Our waiter Jacob was fantastic. He took very good care of our table and was very attentive to our needs.
I will say the restaurant itself could use a deep cleaning. Spider webs, dust and stained chairs were some minor drawbacks, espically at a high end restaurant.
The service and food outshine all of the negatives.

We had reservations for New Year’s Eve and were seated in a walkway with banquet style chairs, it was obvious it was thrown together. The hostess threw menus on table and walked away. Now our waitress made up for this, she was excellent! Mixed drink menu was a huge let down. With the high price point of menu items you would think all drink menus would be good. An old fashion with maraschino cherries in it is not up to par with menu priced items. Another thing with menu items was having the side items being the same with all entrees and no choice of the matter… again for the main entree prices I’d prefer to pick my sides. Steak entree was good. This could have been an off night but I’m not sure I’d be willing to drop over $100 per person give these issues.

Just wow. This place has blown me completely off my rocker
For starters the environment is really cozy, laid back, and amazingly calm.
Our server was on the ball, respectful, and over all amazing.
Our food… there’s no words. It was plain AMAZING. When it comes to planning your next date, don’t walk, run here!

A wonderful family birthday celebration. We were a group of 8, and had varied orders including steak, lamb, duck and fish dishes, crab claws, crab avocado salad and a host of desserts. It was fun, festive and delicious. A shout out to our server Sarah who was attentive, efficient and accommodating. A great night for everyone in our group.

What an awful experience. Since it was raining and the parking lot was empty, we had hoped it would be a wonderful and relaxing time. We ordered the duck and the filet topped with crab, and had I known my food was going to taste tire rubber, I would’ve saved my money and chewed on the table instead. We also ordered two lemon drops; the first one was okay and the second one was undrinkable. The mediocre service and appetizers did little to help the situation. Our waitress was kind enough to comp 50% of just the filet and crab meal, but not once did a manager come and speak with us about our experience. Would not recommend dining here.

My wife and I are down here from Wisconsin for a quick getaway and we were lucky enough to have been invited to The Mazen Grill by an amazing couple local to the area. The Mazen is an amazing old school Lafeyette Louisiana restaurant. We had some steak, crab and the scoufle at the end was amazing. Great server who really knew his stuff too. Go there, just go. WOW !

Mazen Grill—One of our favorites for a date night. Gus and his staff always make for a beautiful experience. The food, atmosphere, and service are always great! Big thanks to our server Megan—you were fantastic!
Started with some dirty Martinis. I like Bombay, while Rogers enjoys Grey Goose. Mazen always offers pita with a dipping sauce—it’s perfect while trying to decide what fantastic meal to choose from their menu.
We ordered 1 1/2 order of their sautéed crab claws. Yes! You can do that. I wish they sold them like crawfish…yeah, I’ll take 3 pounds. Ha. Excellent!
I chose their hearts of palm and artichoke salad while Rogers had a cup of their Bisque—I had to taste his, and you know it’s good when it coats the spoon. Delicious!
I ordered the special, which was Red Snapper Biscayne—pan seared filet of fresh snapper topped with artichoke hearts, diced tomatoes, and jumbo Louisiana shrimp and served in a jalapeño, garlic, and olive sauce. I’m really picky with fish dishes—Mazen always impresses me! It was mouthwatering, scrumptious.
Rogers ordered the past topped with Louisiana jumbo shrimp and crab meat. Again, a big hit. I have to say Gus’s crab meat is always so sweet, buttery, rich, and delicious.
What a great date night. I’m a huge fan! — eating dinner with Stephen Rogers at Mazen Grill.

We were seated in a smaller section of the restaurant…and most of the patrons were complaining at how the service was almost in-existent after initial orders were taken. Waiting 20 minutes to get checked on/have drinks refilled is a LONG TIME.
OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND: OBJECT TO GETTING PLACED IN THE BACK ROOM UNLESS YOU’RE OKAY WITH BEING NEGLECTED AT A PLACE YOU WILL BE SPENDING $200.00 AT. lol
GREAT COFFEE–VERY SMOOTH BLEND!
The crawfish claws were okay, but I will never order those again. Thick/very dark but pretty good gumbo–almost to a stew consistency…
The tarter sauce and cocktail sauce are winners. Lol
THE STEAK!!!!!!! WINNER!!!!!!!!
BEST STEAKS IN LAFAYETTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You will forget that R.C. place on Pinhook, after you eat a steak here.
The sides? C’mon…you can offer better and more quality sides. The green beans and the potatoes could be so much better. How does a restaurant have good meat/fish and piss-poor sides?
Hopefully the cooking management does better for their patrons with the sides.

Phenomenal experience! Everything was fresh and delicious, staff were all friendly and courteous. Restaurant was beautiful and clean. This was the best schnitzel I’ve had on this side of the Atlantic. The lemon caper sauce wad actually full of capers, what a wonderful surprise! And all their salads can be served as side salad portions, awesome! Their caesar salad was delightful!
