    I was a bit disappointed by this restaurant reincarnated. The food is fine, what we ordered tasted good. But being a regular at the San Antonio version of Acadiana Cafe that closed I felt a bit cheated by the new La Coste version. It is no longer a cajun restaurant. The only Cajun dishes I saw available were the M-F daily lunch specials. Now more an Americana cafe. And it's interesting to visit. You enter into the La Coste Hotel bar, and order food at the bar. Then find a table (inside or out). The bartender takes your order ticket to a food trailer outside, then brings you a beeper and your drink order. Once your beeper goes off you need to go out back to the food trailer to pick up your order. The ruben sandwich ok, kinda thin but everything present. The chicken fried steak fingers were good, but had small pieces of beef inside thick breading. All tasted ok, well cooked and seasoned. Just was hoping for some étouffée and fried okra. I understand different owners than the San Antonio version, so maybe in the future might get its cajun mojo back.

    This review is only for the customer service. I live over an hour and 15 minutes away. I called to ask if they are open whoever answered the phone said yes and gave me the times. I get in the car and drive there to find out that they have a private event. The restaurant is closed for this specific event. It was upsetting having to drive all this way. The building itself is historical. It looks like a really cute place for a dining experience. Also another sad news is they do not offer crawfish anymore. My trips to the old Acadiana were specifically to eat crawfish! What a bummer!

    New restaurant

    I had been a patron of the original location in San Antonio for decades so was really excited to see the new place. The menu is pared down from the original because this is a smaller location but the food was excellent! I was told that they are slowly expanding and adding to the menu. The cajun nachos, sausage & chicken gumbo and the pastrami sandwich were excellent.... But please bing the cornbread back!!

    Catfish was excellent! Red beans & rice on point & fresh homemade lemonade was the best! Great meal!

    Kept reading good reviews so I had to see for myself. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has…read moregreat paintings along the walls. We started with the calamari. Tentacles for the win... not just rings. We also ordered the crawfish etoufee, shrimp & andouillle pasta and shrimp & catfish. They offer good size portions and everything was good. Catfish battered in cornmeal would have been even better. Next time I'll have to try the chicken fried steak. Our server was friendly and provided great service. It was a nice, relaxing experience from the moment we walked in.

    well... from friends suggestion i was expecting more of an inexpensive shrimp/fish basket kinda…read moreplace (YES! i shoulda yelped it!) was not really looking for an upscale, date night kinda spot, but thats what i got. there was a lot of tasty sounding options on their menu that you dont get at your basic basket seafood shop. nice menu, enough, but not too many options so that you are overwhelmed. i opted for catfish (im picky) and shrimp. it came with fries - all sides listed at bottom - no price, but no upcharges noted. i asked to sub spinach for fries. i will give the server the benefit of the doubt that he was new. because he did not fit the ambiance of the restaurant. he wasnt terrible, but he wasnt good either. not very knowledgeable about menu, and didnt have answers for some of our menu questions. group ordered onion rings for table (one friend generously offered and asked for it to be on her tab). they arrived fresh from the fryer and VERY tasty! onion cooked through, breading light and crispy - although it did tend to fall off. other friends sides salads looked fresh and colorful. i did try a cocktail, summer peach sangria $12 which i enjoyed, light and refreshing. food arrived and my plate had fries - no spinach. the server apologized and said he'd bring it right out and there would be no charge (no charge? why? i subbed it for fries). the shrimp was butterflied and plump and tasty. the catfish was a MISS! if you want to charge upscale prices - prep your fish correctly. the slimy grey underbelly was left on - gross! so you either eat it or dissect the breaded filets. i tried a fry while waiting on my spinach - it was not good, didnt taste fresh, wasnt hot and i was glad i had subbed them. spinach arrived and it was the HIGHLIGHT! WOW! bright green, tender, not overcooked leaves with a light cream sauce. i passed it around and everyone LOVED it! another surprisingly yummy bite was the chicken tenders! they got passed around too, moist, tender and very tasty. salads that passed by looked delicious and fresh! not your usual leafy dishes. we did have to ask for drink refills although there werent many tables. bills arrived & onion rings had been divided amongst us - appreciate they can do that, but friend had asked for them to be added to her bill. i was also charged $2 for my spinach. server again said it was his fault (not noting sub) and offered to remove it. but apparently there was an upcharge, which is fine, but note on menu or have server inform. but since all are listed as fries with no separate pricing - it looks like they are interchangeable. it wasnt a bad meal but at $45 plus tip, i left feeling like i had a fried basket experience at a premium price. i told myself i'd pay $20 for the spinach so...

Both so good we decided not to look further afield and came back for night two. We do the boil experience and it was awesome. Service was on point. Beer was cold. Food was really good.

I always order it as spicy as they'll possibly make it because if you're not questioning your life choices halfway through the bag, are you even eating crawfish correctly? My family and I went not too long ago for my birthday and it was honestly the perfect place to celebrate. The spice level had my nose running, my eyes watering, and me still going back for more like I had something to prove. On top of the amazing food, the restaurant itself was super clean and the lighting and decorations are always fun to look at. It's one of those places where the atmosphere just makes you feel comfortable and ready to hang out for a while. Our server was incredibly sweet and made sure everyone at the table was taken care of the whole time. She checked on us often, kept the good vibes going, and made the experience even better. Overall, amazing food, great service, and a fun environment. I would absolutely come back again and again... probably with a roll of paper towels and a warning to anyone sitting next to me about the spice level.
