The food was wonderful, very flavorful and a good portion. However, the reason for four stars was because we felt very rushed. We were there on a Saturday and understand how reservations are needed because it was quite busy. But we had just started our salads and our entrees came out. A good restaurant/server would have given us time to complete our salads or almost finished before bringing out the rest of our meals. I noticed that other tables were getting their food soon after sitting down and ordering drinks. I just would like to not feel rushed.
I write a lot of food reviews. And I do not personally enjoy writing bad ones for new restaurants. We went in as a table of five with pure expectations. Each of us had the opportunity to select five completely different entrees and sides (that are an up charge) off the menu. The menu itself did not have a lot of options for it being New Orleans meals. And you are not allowed to make substitutions to your meal. Unless of an allergy. All of our meals came to the table on time and were presented with great plating. Our server Brittney did a great job for it being a Saturday and a parade weekend. Yet, the meals themselves LACKED flavor. The ribeye that is $40 was Awful. It tasted like water! New Orleans is known for depths of flavors not just spicy. And the bread the serve the po’ boy sandwiches on is way to flaky and hard. The Auj sauce didn’t help it. To me they need to sit down and taste the menu. And FIX the Squeaking front door at the front! To bring people here for there first times and them be from out of town was embarrassing. Plus our bills were not cheap! This place is expensive. So if you want to be upscale and fine dining focus less on the Bar Head and more on the menu! You can achieve both but it takes a fantastic restaurant owner who knows their stuff.
I went on Valentines Day and celebrate my birthday! My serve Savannah truly made this visit worth it! She recommended amazing dishes! She was very knowledgeable about many of the items on the menu. The catfish bites are to die for! The dirty rice and pork chop were amazing! Ended it all beignets! If you are wondering if you should go! The answer is absolutely! An amazing restaurant with amazing staff. The hostess to the manager are all incredible! You feel seen and valued! I was constantly checked on beyond just my server. I will be back! 👏🏽❤️
We came here for dessert on Saturday night after dinner at a different restaurant. It was very busy but the wait/host staff was very attentive and sat us quickly. We ordered beignet at the bar and they were wonderful. Warm, flaky and just enough powdered sugar and caramel. I would prefer the sauce on the side. I like very little and my husband likes a lot of caramel. The bartender was friendly even though he was super busy. The food came out quickly. Soft but lively music is playing giving a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. We will be back for dinner next time.
Visited Lagrange from NYC. Atmosphere: It was a Friday night and very busy. Noise level was manageable. Cosy place with adequate lighting. Service: great service. The wait staff was very pleasant and friendly. Staff described popular dishes. Food. I had the Cajun Ribeye with sides (2/5). The ribeye was mainly fat with threads cartilage running through it. Very tough! It was very disappointing. Others in my party had the fried shrimp (they said it was tasty). I would NOT recommend the ribeye! The fried green tomatoes were very good as an appetizer: 4.5/5. Cost: for four people $160.
We didn’t have reservations, but were able to snag seating at the bar quickly by the host. FYI make reservations to bypass the walk-in traffic. This place is very cozy and friendly. Menu can satisfy the taste buds of any age! Our bartender was amazing—just the right balance of ingredients! We were recommended flavorful options which were quite tasty 😋! Okra, catfish bites, gumbo, grits, blackened catfish meal, collards, banana pudding, & beignets! We look forward to dining again with friends & family!
Finally got to try NOLA on Main. And I cannot speak highly enough about this food. We got the Boudin Balls as an appetizer. We also tried the Peel N’ Eat Shrimp and the Catfish Bites. All so good! I had the Blackened Chicken & Andouille Sausage over the goat cheese grits and a cup of Gumbo. Justin had the Cajun Ribeye with the same grits and collards. A friend of ours had the Cajun Alfredo Pasta. They have frozen drinks as well! The Pina Colada and Hurricane were both good! Then to the deserts, we didn’t order them because we had no room left. But we have great friends and we all passed the desserts around for everyone to try. They have banana pudding, bread pudding, and beignets! All are equally delicious! If you go, the goat cheese grits are definitely a must! I, honestly, can’t talk about them enough! So. Good. We will be back!
The BEST restaurant in LaGrange by far! My husband and I have been dying for some good authentic Cajun food and this is it. Its not overly spicy like everyone thinks Cajun food should be. Its beautifully spiced. We started with Boudin Balls which were perfectly crispy and delicious. My husband had crawfish jambalaya and I had gumbo. Both dishes were delicious and we can't wait to get some more. We also got some Beignets and they were cooked perfectly. They are fairly priced and the staff were friendly and accommodating. We will be coming back! HIGHLY recommend.
